GEORGE HARRISON Letter, Tape & Single (What we have here is
unique. Way back when, a certain lady by the name of Sylvia Griffin
[of Kissing The Pink fame] was co-writing songs with a lady called
Renate for a solo project. This particular Renate was then the wife of a
famous piano player by the name of Elton John. At one party thrown
by Elton & Renate, Sylvia met a Mr George Harrison, who used to be
in a group that were quite famous once. They got chatting and George
agreed to record some slide guitar on her new single. This came to
pass, and a copy of that very single is part of this package. As George
wanted to record his slide part at his home studio in Henley,
Oxfordshire, the master tapes were taken from Air Studios to
George's house for the recording. After laying down his slide part,
some more chatting took place about the music that George was then
working on with a Bulgarian Choir & Ry Cooder. As a result of this,
some small time later, Sylvia got a visit from the postman. Inside the
package that had been delivered was a letter from George addressed
to her & Renate on Friar Park Studio notepaper and a C30 cassette
tape. On one side of the tape was a Ry Cooder song from his then to
be released new album 'Get Rhythm' & on the other side three tunes
from 'Chicken Skin Music', all of which were provided so that Sylvia
could 'really get into the accordion - man!'. The letter finishes nicely
being signed with a simple 'Love from George', to which he had added
'(Harrisong)' underneath, presumably so that Sylvia could remember
which George it was [!]. So, what we have here is that very C30
cassette tape with hand titled stickers, presumably by George himself,
the handwritten letter from Mr Harrison, a letter of provenance from
Sylvia & a copy of the finished 7" upon which George's beautiful slide
playing can be heard. As you may imagine, this is one of one, so we
won't be re-stocking it, it won't be going in any sale & once it's gone,
it's gone!)
