“This is a wonderful collection of George rarities. Some of them have appeared on several other bootlegs, but some are very hard to find, like his Rockline radio performance with Jeff Lynne to promote «Cloud Nine». It's a wonderful piece: George goes through several acoustic songs, including a superb version of Let It Be Me.
~ Guilherme Lentz
Another great tune from this boot is Got My Mind Set On You (Original version with George's comments)
This was written by Rudy Clark and originally recorded by James Ray in 1962. Harrison hadn't had a hit since 1981 with «All Those Years Ago». Trying to prove that he could whip up a hit, he released this very simplistic cover song and it was a huge commercial success. But a lot of Harrison's work was well off the mainstream, using unusual instruments and based on Indian music. Obviously this song required very little thought and quite predictably, many of Harrison's ardent followers can't stand it.
Jeff Lynne produced this song with Harrison. His influence can be heard in the backing vocals of the chorus.
