...other two discs in the set had the misfortune of being co-produced by Phil Spector. One would think that the Beatles would never work with Spector again after his disgusting butchery of "The Long and Winding Road." Yet here he is again, arranging almost every cut as though George were the Crystals or the Righteous Brothers. Phil Spector has in fact produced some great records, but he feels obliged to force his style on every song he touches, even when it clearly doesn...
...approaches the quality of Harrison's earlier material, nothing as good as "Here Comes the Sun." "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," "Something," "Sour Milk Sea," "Savoy Truffle," "It's All Too Much," or "If I Needed Someone." The best cuts are those that sound like they were recorded while Spector was out of the room ("Apple Scruffs," "If Not For You") and those that seem like deliberate imitations of other people.

The music is not bad; it's just simple and not very interesting and never more than John singing and playing either guitar or piano (on which he is barely competent), backed by bass and drums. Once again, Phil Spector is listed as producer, but Lennon seems to have wisely restricted him to adding echo and nothing else, giving the whole album the sound of "Instant Karma."

Though out on his own, George has some illustrious company. His co-producer is Phil Spector, the Hector Berlioz of rock, with a genius for the complicated aural mix and a weakness for the overblown style-a weakness this time kept under control. Ringo plays on the album, and so do Nashville's Pete Drake and England's Eric Clapton. Identified in the credits as the George O'Hara-Smith Singers is a choir of Beat-le-sounding experts. That is Harrison's little joke. All the voices are George's, carefully overdubbed...
