George Harrison – Gone Troppo (180 Gr)

George Harrison – GONE TROPPO (180 GR) is a 180-gram vinyl pressing of Harrison’s tenth studio album, originally released in November 1982 on his own Dark Horse Records label, and this reissue brings it back in a format that does the record proper justice.

About the Album

By 1982, George Harrison had spent over a decade building a solo catalog on his own terms, and Gone Troppo arrived as one of his most relaxed and personal statements. Self-produced alongside Ray Cooper and Phil McDonald, the album carries a distinctly low-key confidence. Harrison wasn’t chasing trends. The ten tracks range from the lead single “Wake Up My Love” to the meditative closer “Circles,” with stops along the way for “Greece,” “Mystical One,” and the title track itself. “Dream Away” holds a particular footnote: it served as the theme song for Time Bandits, the 1981 Handmade Films fantasy directed by Terry Gilliam, a production company Harrison had co-founded. That connection gives the album a broader cultural context beyond the music alone.

Why George Harrison – GONE TROPPO (180 GR) Belongs in Your Collection

Gone Troppo has historically been one of the more overlooked records in Harrison’s solo discography, which makes a clean 180-gram pressing genuinely worthwhile for collectors who want the full picture. The heavier vinyl weight typically translates to better groove stability and reduced surface noise, and for an album recorded with the kind of careful, unhurried production that Harrison, Cooper, and McDonald brought to this project, that matters. The catalog number is DH 43, placing it firmly within the Dark Horse Records lineage that Harrison maintained throughout this period of his career. Whether you’re building out a complete Harrison run or coming to this one fresh, the 180g format makes it the right copy to own.

Tracklist
