J&A was a Christmas #2, never got to #1- held off the top spot by the re-release of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". I was reading on another list that EMI raised a few eyebrows by releasing Queen's "Greatest Hits" a few weeks before Freddie Mercury died, because they knew his health was failing and they figured if they released it in advance it wouldn't seem to be in bad taste (whereas releasing it straight after his death would look worse), and would just be on sale in time for the Christmas boom. They were also planning to rerelease "Bohemian Rhapsody" before he died. This was mentioned because apparently (I haven't checked this) EMI put out a George Harrison 'greatest hits' compilation a few weeks ago, probably knowing that it was only a matter of time... they're also planning a George Harrison Christmas single... sound familiar? > and that earlier in the year they had done 3AM Eternal and got to No. > 1 with it). That's true. From the above list, only "3:am Eternal" actually reached the top spot. "LTTT" and "J&A" were both number twos, in the chart sense of the phrase. > The only bad thing was they destroyed the video by running information > about world events that happened in 1991 along the bottom of the video > so bits out of The White Room on the video are cut off and can only be > seen sometimes, and they didn't even play the full video :(.

This is not correct. While there are indeed two Best of compilations, the first was released in 76, the other came out early 90s. The last album released under Harrison's name was a remastered All Things Must Pass in Jan, tho I believed it was reissued as a standard edition in Oct. He did, however, record a much publicized track with Jools Holland which came out a couple weeks ago on Hollands "Small World Big Band" cd. The song dealt with Harrison's battle with cancer and was published under RIP2001 Ltd. Only a matter of time.... > they're also planning a George Harrison Christmas single... sound familiar? This is true. I've just read that they plan on reissuing My Sweet Lord as a charity single. Harrison had been working on a new album for the last two years (so where this idea that he was doing it 'secretly' came about I have no idea) and was compiling an Anthology of unreleased stuff as well. Expect these to surface in the next 12-18 months.

There will be thousands of Drummonds in the world- particularly in Scotland. The chances of Dale Drummond (who presumably works in the US, if he worked on "Gone In 60 Seconds") being a known relative of Bill Drummond is very, very unlikely.
