{"product_id":"george-harrison-wonderwall-music","title":"George Harrison - Wonderwall Music","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeorge Harrison's Wonderwall Music is the 1968 film soundtrack that became the first solo album by a Beatle and the first LP issued on the band's own Apple label.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarrison wrote and produced the music for Joe Massot's psychedelic film Wonderwall, using the project as an excuse to dive deeper into the Indian classical music that had captivated him since meeting Ravi Shankar. He recorded part of the album in Bombay with Indian musicians and part in London with rock players, including Eric Clapton, credited under the alias Eddie Clayton, creating a patchwork of styles that still sounds wonderfully unpredictable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMicrobes begins with a hypnotic drone and keening melody that pulls you straight into the film's dreamlike world. Ski-ing pairs a shimmering Indian figure with Clapton's sharp, bluesy guitar, while Dream Scene is a woozy collage of backward tapes, sitar and studio trickery. Wonderwall to Be Here offers a gentle, wistful piano theme that shows Harrison's melodic gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShort pieces flow into one another like scenes from a film, moving between ragas, honky-tonk piano, country pastiche and psychedelic sound experiments. It is playful, curious and unlike anything else in the Beatles' orbit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the opening move of a remarkable solo career, it is a fascinating first step and a vivid portrait of a musician following his curiosity wherever it led.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57326702297393,"sku":"4099964011760","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/George_Harrison-Wonderwall_Music.jpg?v=1793876013","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/george-harrison-wonderwall-music","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
