The announcement of Let It Roll: The Music of George Harrison comes just hours after the Beatles guitarist posthumously received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles today, April 14th.
The compilation will feature songs from throughout Harrisons career, from live takes of his biggest Beatles hits to his storied solo career. Harrison was twice inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, both as a Beatle and a solo artist.
All the tracks on Let It Roll will be digitally remastered and assembled in deluxe packaging with rare and unseen photographs. The album will also be released digitally. According to the press release, Harrisons solo hits My Sweet Lord, Isnt It A Pity, Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth) and Got My Mind Set On You will all be included on the set, and you can assume the collections namesake track, All Things Must Pass Let It Roll, will also make the cut.
Three of Harrisons most popular songs that he penned for the Beatles are also on the track list: Something, While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Here Comes The Sun from Harrisons 1971 Concert For Bangladesh from New Yorks Madison Square Garden. The full track list is expected to be announced soon.
The news of the remastered Harrison solo tracks comes only a week after word broke that the Beatles long-awaited remastered catalog will be released on September 9th, 2009, the same day the Fab Fours The Beatles: Rock Band hits stores.
