NOTE
1981 / Warner Brothers having rejected his new album "Somewhere In England", Harrison,
back at the drawing board, once again found himself in the recording studio re-touching

pulled & along the other 3, can be found on
1.George Harrison "Pirate Songs"
2.George Harrison "Completed Rarities Vol. 1
