Wonderwall Music [LP]

Released in November 1968, George Harrison’s Wonderwall Music was the first solo album released by a member of the Beatles and the first LP to be released by Apple Records. The soundtrack music for director Joe Massot’s debut feature-length film, Wonderwall, the predominantly instrumental album is an intricate, vibrant tapestry of western rock music and compositions in an Indian classical style. In 1992, George recalled, « I decided to do it as a mini anthology of Indian music, because I wanted to help turn the public on to Indian music. » Three bonus tracks have been added to the remastered album: « In the First Place » by Liverpool group the Remo Four, who played the rock elements of the recording sessions, a previously unreleased alternate take of « The Inner Light, » and the previously unreleased « Almost Shankara, » a raga that was not used in the film or for the soundtrack LP.
