George Harrison Signed "Cloud Nine" Album Caiazzo

George Harrison has beautifully signed this "Cloud Nine" album cover in blue sharpie pen to the left of his image. The signature dates to 1987, the same year that the album was recorded and released on Harrison's Dark Horse record label. "Cloud Nine," was Harrison's 11th studio album and his final released solo studio album of his lifetime. It contained Harrison's hit cover of the song "Got My Mind Set On You" which hit Number One in the U.S. and was his last No. 1 hit. The first time Harrison heard the song was during a visit to his sister in the United States in 1963–five months before the Beatles first appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show. His sister lived in the countryside of Illinois. While there, Harrison visited record shops and bought a variety of albums. One was James Ray's 1962 album that contained the song "I've Got My Mind Set on You." Very good condition. Framed to measure 20 x 20. Comes with a letter of authenticity from Beatles handwriting expert Frank Caiazzo and a Gotta Have Rock & Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
