"Try Some, Buy Some" is a song written by English rock musician George Harrison that was first released in April 1971 as a single by American singer Ronnie Spector, formerly the lead vocalist of the Ronettes. She recorded it in London along with other Harrison compositions for a planned comeback album on the Beatles' Apple record label. The project was co-produced by Phil Spector, Ronnie's husband at the time, but abandoned following recording sessions that were hampered by his erratic behaviour. The only official release from the sessions, the single achieved minimal commercial success, peaking at number 77 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 63 on Canada's RPM Top 100. Harrison later added his own vocal onto a new mix of the instrumental track and included the song on his 1973 album L

  • «Try Some, Buy Some» es una canción del músico británico George Harrison, publicada en su álbum de estudio Living in the Material World (1973). Harrison compuso la canción para la cantante Ronnie Spector, quien grabó una versión en 1971 publicada como sencillo por Apple Records. Dos años después, Harrison regrabó la canción, manteniendo los coros de la canción de Spector, para publicar una versión en su propio disco. A diferencia del resto del disco, la canción fue coproducida por Phil Spector e incluye elementos de la técnica del muro de sonido característica de su trabajo, con una abundante orquestación dirigida por John Barham.

The only official release from the sessions, the single achieved minimal commercial success, peaking at number 77 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 63 on Canada's RPM Top 100. Harrison later added his own vocal onto a new mix of the instrumental track and included the song on his 1973 album Living in the Material World. "Try Some, Buy Some" was one of several Harrison compositions left over from the sessions for his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass, which Spector also co-produced. The song's austere melody was influenced by Harrison composing on a keyboard instrument rather than guitar. The lyrics document his sudden perception of God amid the temptations of the material world, including recreational drugs, and serve as an account of a religious epiphany. Ronnie later admitted to being confused by the concept, and some writers have commented on the song's unsuitability as a vehicle for her comeback. Spector employed his Wall of Sound production aesthetic to full effect on "Try Some, Buy Some" and was stunned at the single's commercial failure. The recording features a choir and long, lavishly orchestrated instrumental passages arranged by John Barham. The single's B-side was "Tandoori Chicken", a Harrison–Spector collaboration in the rockabilly style. Several reviewers have questioned Harrison's decision to reuse the 1971 instrumental track for his version. Among the varied opinions on the Living in the Material World track, some focus on Harrison's struggle to sing in a higher key than he preferred and view its dense production as being out of place on the album; others admire the lyrics and melody, and recognise a seductive quality in the song. Having long been unavailable following its 1971 release, Ronnie Spector's version was reissued in 2010 on the compilation Come and Get It: The Best of Apple Records. A longtime admirer of the song, David Bowie covered "Try Some, Buy Some" on his 2003 album Reality and performed it on his tours in support of the album. (en)

  • Try Some, Buy Some è un brano musicale composto dal cantautore britannico George Harrison, inizialmente pubblicato nel 1971 su singolo da Ronnie Spector. Quest'ultima registrò a Londra anche altre composizioni di Harrison, come You e When Every Song Is Sung, per il progetto di un abortito disco solista su etichetta Apple Records. La canzone venne co-prodotta dall'allora marito di Ronnie, Phil Spector, che in seguito costrinse la moglie ad abbandonare la carriera musicale. Dopo che il 45 giri si rivelò solo un successo minore, raggiungendo la posizione numero 77 della Billboard Hot 100, il progetto dell'album fu cancellato. Nel 1973, Harrison decise di includere la propria versione del pezzo nel suo album Living in the Material World. Alcuni commentatori criticarono la scelta di Harrison di inserire la sua rilettura di Try Some, Buy Some in Living in the Material World, adducendo come motivo che la canzone era stata scritta in una tonalità troppo alta per lui, essendo originariamente pensata per essere cantata da Ronnie Spector. Da sempre ammiratore del brano, David Bowie reinterpretò Try Some, Buy Some nel suo album Reality del 2003, eseguendola anche dal vivo durante il tour promozionale dell'album. (it)

  • [Spector makes the strings and mandolins] sweep and soar in great blocks of sound, pirouetting around each other like a corps de ballet in slow motion. The closing portions of the orchestral arrangement are breathtaking, displaying a geometrical logic which makes use of suspended rhythms drawn out to screaming point. (en)
  • The song itself, I think, is really good. It's so simple yet so complicated. It was the sort of thing I found myself playing over and over again and being amazed by the simplicity of the movement of the bass lines. (en)
