Released on February 9, 1979, this fan-favorite release showcases Harrison’s effortless melodic songwriting, featuring the upbeat global hit "Blow Away," the lush acoustic classic "Love Comes to Everyone," and "Not Guilty"—a legendary composition originally penned during The Beatles' 1968 White Album sessions.

Manufactured at Capitol Records’ Jacksonville, Illinois pressing plant (verified by the machine-stamped 0 in the dead wax), this release features precision analog lacquers cut directly from master tapes by engineer John Williams (JW) at Capitol Mastering.
