Hey guys,
I know people aren't generally appreciative of this sort of
thing, but I figure this is a special circumstance. If you're
anywhere remotely close to as big of a Beatles fan as I am, the news
of the release of the new George Harrison DVD has been cause for lack
of sleep for weeks. It finally comes out on November 2nd, and in my
excitement I got some extra information as to what's going to be on
it. This is a press release that, with much difficulty, I managed to
finagle:
GEORGE HARRISON "THE DARK HORSE YEARS 1979 - 1992" DVD TO BE RELEASED

EXTENSIVE LINER NOTES, A LABEL HISTORY BY OLIVIA HARRISON AND AN
EXTENSIVE PHOTO SELECTION INCLUDED IN
