A couple of recent magazines about the Beatles lead guitarist, George Harrison. George has a February birthday, and he falls under the astrological sign of Pisces. George, long after his passing in 2001, has finally achieved the recognition and praise that he was not given full appreciation for while the legendary band was together. George’s song ofHere Comes the Sun is the most frequently streamed song on the internet with over a billion streams. George was the Beatle who probably welcomed the dissolution of the Beatles more so than any other member of the band as he finally became the king of his own castle without the immense shadows of Lennon and McCartney hovering over him!
George received seemingly universal respect and admiration from the musicians who worked with him as a solo artist!
Seamus Hayes, a friend and fellow Beatlemaniac recently informed me of these 2 magazines with a Harrison focus. Some people love this type of magazine and others say that the material is often too repetitive and does not contain enough new material to make it worthwhile. I have mixed feelings as many of these magazines have great critical reviews of the artist’s work that are unavailable elsewhere. Some even feature rare and obscure interviews.
I have included the links for the following 2 magazines if you decided you would like to order them from the respective vendors. The UK is the best source for these types of magazines with such titles as Uncut, Mojo, and Record Collector which often feature Beatles cover stories, that often have the entire magazine content featuring the Beatles as a group or as individual solo artists!

Would love to hear your sentiments about George Harrison’s contributions to the Beatles legacy!
Is George your favorite Beatle? If so, why does he hold that place in the Beatles pantheon for you?

Thank you, Claude, for your comments! George is only now fully receiving the recognition he deserved as a Beatle. He truly was the “Dark Horse” of the band!
George Harrison is my favorite album because it was him who play the lead guitar on almost all the Beatles songs and I really like his solo career, “All things must pass” is a masterpiece. and also “Cloud nine”. As a person he was very calm and I like that. I really enjoy many of his songs as a Beatle and on his own.
