"This Is Love" is a song by George Harrison and is the fifth track on his 1987 studio album Cloud Nine. In June 1988, the song was also released as the third single from that album, peaking at #55 in the UK Singles Chart (see 1988 in British music).

[edit] Original B-side

The original B-side for this single was "Handle with Care," a collaboration between Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty at Bob Dylan's studio in Santa Monica, California. When executives at Harrison's distributor Warner Bros. Records heard the track, they decided it was too good to be released as single "filler," a decision that resulted in the formation of the Traveling Wilburys and the album Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 with "Handle with Care" as the lead track and single.
