This is the album version of “Someplace Else” by legendary Beatle “George Harrison”. The original version of this song appeared on the soundtrack to the 1986 film Shanghai Surprise (starring Madonna & Sean Penn). It was later re-recorded and produced by ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) frontman “Jeff Lynne” for Harrison’s 1987 album “Cloud Nine”.
Although never released as a single and with no original video as such (for the album version) the track remains a huge favourite amongst fans. So as a tribute to this remarkable mans talents we have pieced together some promotional footage taken from the motion picture to form our own unique attempt at a clip to go with this beautiful version of a Harrison classic.
We hope you enjoy & RIP George.
Cloud Nine was a successful 1987 comeback album by George Harrison, recorded and released after a five year hiatus from his recording career. As home to the smash hit “Got My Mind Set on You”, Cloud Nine re-established Harrison as a critically-acclaimed and commercially-significant recording artist. It was also George Harrison’s final studio album released in his lifetime.

Sometimes the slide was overused but not in this case. It works perfectly here. There are certainly some songs in which I wish he played traditional electric guitar and shredded it a bit instead of using the slide, but this is not one of them.

paranormal – The argument wasn’t whether he was “good” or “bad”. The point was that he OVER-USED it. It’s a technique. It would be like using a ZOOM LENS every 5 seconds in a film. You use it sparingly to enhance one song or another. NOT EVERY SONG!

I was born in 1984… So, when the album was released in 1987- the songs on it were the first songs I can remember hearing (and seeing on MTV when it still played music!)
George was such an amazing artist, he had so much talent- borh vocally and instrumentally. Cloud Nine will always be one of my favorite albums.
It’s still hard to accept that he’s gone… but then again, he’s never really gone because his music endures.

I think Paul sought after fame a lot more than George. George was content just being a successful musician. If George wanted more fame it was definitely right there for him. George Harrison was not superficial.

Wow, I love McCartney with the beatles, but since he went solo he didnt do one song as beautiful and melodic as this one. I dont get why he’s hugely more famous than george. They were to me much on the same level, and in the ’70s george was much more productive and interesting.
