Label Apple

Catalogue No. ZAPPLE 02

Release date 9th May 1969

Total time 43:46

U.K. Album Chart Detail : Did NOT Chart.

Detail : George Harrison's second solo album release, and the second (and final) release on Apple subsidiary label Zapple.
Credited to George Harrison.
George describes this album as:
"It could be called avant garde, but a more apt description
would be (in the words of my old friend Alvin) Avant garde clue !.
The second side was recorded in November in 1968 in California, with Bernie Krause "assisting". Krause later said that the recording was simply an edit of the lesson he had given George of turning the machine on, that he had made the recordings and that George had "appropriated" them.
With side one recorded in George's home studio in Esher in 1969 on his newly purchased Moog Synthesiser, this is quite probably the very first album of solely synthesised sounds.

The cover has two paintings, both by George, who is credited with the sleeve design.
The inner sleeve contains the album credits, plus a quote from "Arthur Wax"which says ;
There are a lot of people around, making a lot of noise, here is some more.
