Editing Gone Troppo (section)

==Background==
By the early 1980s, Harrison had been finding the current musical climate alienating. His previous studio album ''[[Somewhere in England]]'' (1981) 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 [[Recording Industry Association of America]] (RIAA). With one album left on his current recording contract,<ref>Chip Madinger & Mark Easter, ''Eight Arms to Hold You: The Solo Beatles Compendium'', 44.1 Productions (Chesterfield, MO, 2000; {{ISBN|0-615-11724-4}}), p. 463.</ref> Harrison recorded ''Gone Troppo'' in 1982 but refused to promote it or make [[music video]]s for the two singles. The title is an Australian slang expression meaning "gone mad or crazy due to tropical heat" or just "gone mad".
