I'm rating this album excluding the 'Apple Jam' tracks. Harrison himself said, that they actually weren't part of the record (see wikipedia entry). Thus, it's more like a bonus disc to me... The album itself (Track 1-18) ranks among the best Beatle solo releases, without a doubt! IMO only beaten by Lennon's 'Imagine'.

I see you like New-York punk and proto-punk since you added Transformer and two Ramones albums. I would suggest "Blank Generation" by Richard Hell and the voidoids or "Horse" by Patti Smith if you haven't listened to them yet.
