Description
Wonderwall Music:
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. Eco-Wallet CD.

Electronic Sound:
As a direct result of the Beatles' keen curiosity about experimental music and other avant-garde artistic expression, Apple Records launched its short-lived Zapple subsidiary in February 1969 as a forum for unfettered sonic exploration, or, as announced at the time, "more freaky sounds." George's Electronic Sound and John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Unfinished Music No. 2: Life With The Lions (both released in May 1969), were Zapple's only releases before it was closed down. Electronic Sound's cover art, painted by George, depicts his Moog IIIp (which was later used on four tracks by the Beatles on their album, Abbey Road) with the four modules from which the sound was synthesized. Each side of the Eletornic Sound LP featured one exploratory long-form work. Eco-Wallet CD.

All Things Must Pass:
All Things Must Pass was released by Apple Records in November 1970. Co-produced by Harrison and Phil Spector, many musicians contributed to the album, including Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Pete Drake, Gary Wright, Klaus Voormann, members of Badfinger, players from the Delaney & Bonnie band, and John Barham. The triple-LP topped charts around the world and earned universal acclaim as a rock masterpiece. George became the first Beatle to have a solo #1 single in both the UK and America with the album's lead single, "My Sweet Lord," which introduced his signature slide guitar playing. George co-wrote the album's opening track, "I'd Have You Anytime," with his friend Bob Dylan, who also wrote another song on the landmark album, "If Not For You." 2 CD Eco-Wallet.

Dark Horse:
Dark Horse, released in December 1974, capped a prolific year for George Harrison, during which he had established his own Dark Horse record label, built a recording studio in his Friar Park home in England, and completed an ambitious tour of North America. Eco-Wallet CD.

Extra Texture:
In late 1974, George Harrison returned to California to record his next album, the soul-tinged Extra Texture (Read All About It). Leon Russell played piano on "Tired of Midnight Blue," and for some of the sessions, Harrison was joined by guitarist Jesse Ed Davis, plus Jim Keltner, Paul Stallworth and David Foster from new band Attitudes, who were later signed by George's newly formed Dark Horse label. Eco-Wallet CD.

Early Takes:
Early Takes: Volume 1 is a compilation album of outtakes and demo recordings by George Harrison, released posthumously in May 2012. The recordings appeared in Martin Scorsese's 2011 documentary film, George Harrison: Living in the Material World, and were originally issued as part of the deluxe version of the DVD release. Producer Giles Martin compiled the album, working with engineer Paul Hicks. The majority of the tracks date from the sessions for Harrison's 1970 triple album, All Things Must Pass. Eco-Wallet CD.

Did you mean "not" including bonus tracks? Amazon UK shows the same bonus tracks as the previous 1CD editions (which means, sadly, none for your absolute favourite Electronic Sound.)

Interesting. I'll wait for the inevitably overpriced Dark Horse and Extra Texture 50th Anniversary expansions. I wonder if there will be any more annotation in the Early Takes disc, and I'm still waiting for Volume 2.
