George Harrison - Wonderwall Music - Music & Performance - CD

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.
