Gone Troppo

"Gone Troppo" is the tenth studio album by English rock musician George Harrison, released on 5 November 1982 by Dark Horse Records. The album features the single "Wake Up My Love" and "Dream Away," which served as the theme song for the 1981 HandMade Films production Time Bandits. Harrison produced the album alongside Ray Cooper and former Beatles engineer Phil McDonald.

By the early 1980s, Harrison felt disconnected from the contemporary music scene. His previous album, Somewhere in England, had performed well, buoyed by the tribute hit "All Those Years Ago," but it was his first release since the Beatles' breakup that failed to achieve gold certification in the United States. With one album remaining on his recording contract, Harrison recorded Gone Troppo but chose not to promote it or create music videos for its singles. The title reflects an Australian slang expression meaning "gone mad or crazy due to tropical heat."

The album's artwork was designed by "Legs" Larry Smith, formerly of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. Upon its release, Warner Bros. Records struggled to market the album, mirroring Harrison's own indifference, and it peaked at number 108 in the United States while failing to chart in the United Kingdom.

Tracks from Gone Troppo, such as "Wake Up My Love" and "That's the Way It Goes," were later included on Harrison's compilation album Best of Dark Horse 1976–1989, but no songs from this album were featured in the 2009 collection Let It Roll. "That's the Way It Goes" was covered by Joe Brown and others at the Concert for George in November 2002.

In 2004, Gone Troppo was remastered and reissued, both as a standalone album and as part of the deluxe box set The Dark Horse Years 1976–1992, which included a demo version of "Mystical One" as its only bonus track.
