Track listingĪll songs written and composed by George Harrison, except where noted. Writing for Rough Guides in 2006, Chris Ingham described Best of Dark Horse as "excellent" and regretted that the album was no longer available. "Poor Little Girl", "Cockamamie Business" and "Cheer Down" were omitted from Harrison's posthumously released box set The Dark Horse Years 1976–1992, making the Best of Dark Horse compilation the only official release for the first two of these three tracks. There are two other Harrison retrospectives – 1976's The Best of George Harrison and 2009's Let It Roll: Songs by George Harrison – the latter of which also includes "Cheer Down". Records, the compilation went out of print some years later, without being reissued by EMI when it began distributing Harrison's Dark Horse catalogue. Originally distributed through Warner Bros.
On release, Best of Dark Horse 1976–1989 failed to chart in the United Kingdom and peaked at number 132 in the United States. Harrison dedicated the album to Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, the Traveling Wilburys, racing-car designer Gordon Murray, and "anyone interested in saving our planet". The cover of the compilation featured a photograph of Harrison taken by Terry O'Neill. While preparing the compilation for release, Harrison contributed various guitar parts to Lynne's debut solo album, Armchair Theatre. The latter song was co-written by Tom Petty and co-produced by Jeff Lynne, both of whom were Harrison's bandmates in the Traveling Wilburys. Also included on Best of Dark Horse 1976–1989 was Harrison's contribution to the soundtrack for the film Lethal Weapon 2, " Cheer Down", which was issued as a single in August 1989. In addition, Harrison recorded two new songs for the compilation – "Poor Little Girl" and "Cockamamie Business" – at his Friar Park home studio in July 1989. The album covers Harrison's work released on his own Dark Horse record label, ranging from 1976's Thirty Three & 1/3 to Cloud Nine. Best of Dark Horse 1976–1989 remains the only official release containing these new songs. Harrison recorded two tracks specifically for the collection – "Poor Little Girl" and "Cockamamie Business". The singer's second solo compilation, it followed his successful 1987 comeback album, Cloud Nine, and the Harrison-led Traveling Wilburys Vol. George Harrison, Ray Cooper, Jeff Lynne, Russ Titelman, Phil McDonald, Tom Scottīest of Dark Horse 1976–1989 is a compilation album by English musician George Harrison, released in 1989.
