George Harrison: Album By Album

There are many misconceptions surrounding George Harrison, both as a solo artist and a Beatle. One is that he was only allowed to contribute one of his own songs to each Beatles album – a blatant untruth given the wealth of classic material that he penned during his time with the band. Another, oddly enough, is surrounding his first solo album.

Many think it was 1970’s All Things Must Pass – undoubtedly a classic album, but not, in actual fact, Harrison’s first solo release.

In reality, Harrison’s first solo album was the Wonderwall Music, a 1968 soundtrack recording for the film Wonderwall, and an album on which Harrison gave free rein to his oft-hidden experimental side. It was the fascinating first step in a solo career that’s celebrated in the vinyl box set The George Harrison Vinyl Collection, a lavish 16LP set that collects each of Harrison’s 12 studio albums, along with the 1992 live recording, Live In Japan.
