George Harrison - Gone Troppo album
Gone Troppo is the 10th studio album by George Harrison, recorded and released in 1982. It would be Harrison's last studio album for five years, during which he largely took an extended hiatus from his recording career, with only the occasional soundtrack recording surfacing. By the early 1980s, Harrison had been finding the current musical climate alienating.
Gone Troppo was, even by George Harrison's uneven solo standards, a notable flop. Blame might fall on an aging target audience, to Harrison's refusal to promote it, to his quarrelsome label, to MTV-era production missteps. Despite having spent a lengthy period tangling with Warners Bros. Harrison had found a new center within his marriage and the birth of a child
