GONE TROPPO is the tenth studio album by the English rock musician George Harrison, released on 5th November 1982 by Dark Horse Records. It includes "Wake Up My Love", issued as a single, and "Dream Away", which was the theme song for the 1981 HandMade Films production Time Bandits. With Harrison uninterested in the contemporary music scene and unwilling to promote the release, GONE TROPPO failed to chart in the United Kingdom and in the United States. For the next five years, George Harrison largely took an extended hiatus from his music career, with only the occasional soundtrack recording surfacing. The album's artwork was credited to "Legs" Larry Smith, formerly of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. In 2004, GONE TROPPO was remastered and reissued, both separately from and as part of the deluxe box set The Dark Horse Years 1976–1992. The reissue added a demo version of "Mystical One" as its sole bonus track.

GONE TROPPO was largely recorded between early May and the end of August 1982, a little over a year since he had released Somewhere In England. Released on Dark Horse Records in November 1982, George did not undertake any promotional activities for GONE TROPPO, his mind was elsewhere on other projects. George’s opinions of the music industry at this time are probably best summed up by the album’s title, which is Australian slang for “gone crazy”, a feeling that’s reflected in the great cover art from ''Legs'' Larry Smith, formerly of the Bonzo Dog Band. The record includes many of George’s musical mates. Their collective talents add so much to the record, creating a well-crafted record that has some real gems that were recorded at Friar Park studio. “Circles”, the album’s closing track, is one of those songs, having been written in 1968 while The Beatles were studying Transcendental Meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. It is about reincarnation and its title is about the cyclical nature of human existence. George recorded a demo of “Circles” at home in May 1968. He revisited it during the sessions for his 1979 album George Harrison before finally recording it for GONE TROPPO. “Dream Away” is another fan and critical favorite from this album that featured over the end credits of George’s 1981 HandMade Films production Time Bandits – Terry Gilliam’s first successful solo movie – it was the only song used in the film. “That’s The Way It Goes” was one of George’s favorite songs from the record and popular with many critics too, it was included on his compilation album Best Of Dark Horse 1976–1989. In November 2002, a year after George’s passing, Joe Brown performed the song at the Concert For George in London. As with several of George’s albums, GONE TROPPO is one that has improved with age. Dig it out, put it on, and cast your mind back over forty years to a time when the world was a very different place.
