George Harrison - Wonder Wall (1968)

Basically dope Eastern influenced devotional Mantras of sound.Very lovely backwards sitars,psych infused ragas from da ''silent'' Beatle.A must listen for any one who gets ''wet'' for Beatle's solo shit.

Wonderwall Music is George Harrison's first solo album and the soundtrack to the film Wonderwall. The songs are virtually all instrumental (except for some non-English vocals, and a slowed-down spoken word track, both in the different parts of Dream Scene), and were recorded partly in December 1967 in England, and the rest the following January (1968) in Bombay, India. Wonderwall Music is notable for being the first official solo album by one of the Beatles. (The soundtrack of the film The Family Way, composed by Paul McCartney, was issued in June 1967, but the album contains only incidental music, not performed by McCartney.)

Also recorded during the Indian sessions was the backing track to "The Inner Light", which became the B-side to "Lady Madonna", the final Beatles single on Parlophone in the UK and Capitol Records in the United States.

Some of the musician's credits are pseudonyms for Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Ringo Starr. Harrison is listed merely as producer, arranger and writer for the album. Peter Tork of Monkees fame also played banjo, but was not credited.

All of the tracks were composed by Harrison, and it was the first album release on the newly formed Apple Records, released in November 1968, a few weeks before The Beatles. It would also be the first Apple record to be deleted, though it was reissued on remastered CD in 1992.

In the CD liner notes, Harrison's description of the recording done in England is revealing: "I had a regular wind-up stopwatch and I watched the film to 'spot-in' the music with the watch. I wrote the timings down in my book, then I'd go to Abbey Road, make up a piece, record it." While the tracks recorded in England were made on multitrack recording machines and remixed, the Indian portions were recorded live to two-track stereo.

Not charting at all in the UK, Wonderwall Music reached #49 in the U.S. in the early part of 1969.

Britpop band Oasis, well-known for their Beatles influences and motifs, had a major hit with a song called "Wonderwall" in the 1990s, whose title refers to this album.
