The musical disc contains three songs that Warner Bros . Records had rejected in 1980 for inclusion on Harrison 's album '' Somewhere in England '' , together with a live version of his Beatles track " For You Blue " . This last song was recorded during Harrison 's controversial 1974 North American tour , when his singing was marred by the effects of laryngitis ; it remains the only vocal performance from that tour to have been made available outside of concert bootlegs . While " Lay His Head " was issued as the B-side to his 1987 single " Got My Mind Set on You " , the '' Songs by George Harrison '' EP remains the sole official release for this live version of " For You Blue " and for the studio tracks " Sat Singing " and " Flying Hour "
