ABOUT THE RECORD Gone Troppo, by George Harrison, would be Harrison's last studio album for five years, during which he largely took an extended hiatus from his recording career, with only the occasional soundtrack recording surfacing. By the early 1980s, Harrison had been finding the current musical climate alienating. His 1981 album Somewhere in England had sold fairly well, aided by the John Lennon tribute hit, All Those Years Ago, but in the United States it was Harrison's first album since the Beatles' break-up that failed to receive gold certification from the RIAA. With one album left on his current recording contract, Harrison recorded Gone Troppo in 1982, but refused to promote it or make videos for the two singles. The title is an Australian slang expression meaning "gone mad or crazy due to tropical heat". The album's artwork was credited to "Legs" Larry Smith, formerly of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band. Warner Bros. Records, which distributed Harrison's Dark Horse label, were at a loss as to how to market the album, and matched the artist's indifference by failing to promote the release. The album peaked at No. 108 in the United States. Wake Up My Love and That's the Way It Goes were included on Harrison's Best of Dark Horse 1976–1989 album.
