Significant longplayers from the past
The quiet Beatle GEORGE HARRISON (1943-2001) released his 3rd and most
successful album, a triple one, on 27 November 1970, today 55 years ago in
the US, 3 days later in the UK.
It was co-produced by wall of sound wizard Phil Spector.
It topped the US & UK album charts and also went to
the top spot of several other countries.
The album reflects the influence of Harrison‘s musical activities with artists
during 1968–1970, and his growth as an artist beyond his supporting role in
The Beatles.
Rolling Stone magazine said: “Wagnerian, Brucknerian,
the music of mountain tops and vast horizons.”
George Harrison: “The biggest break in my career was getting into
the Beatles in 1962. The second-biggest break since then is getting
out of them.”
