George Harrison's fifth solo album release.

Personnel :

George - Vocals, guitar

Ringo - Drums

Klaus Voorman - Bass

Nicky Hopkins - Keyboards

Gary Wright - Keyboards

Jim Keltner - Drums

Jim Gordon - Drums (Try Some, Buy Some)

Jim Horn - Saxophone, flutes

Zakir Hussein - Tabla

John Barham - Strings

Recording sessions for most of the tracks were from October 1972 through to January 1973 at the Apple Studios in Saville Row, although the backing track for "Try Some, Buy Some" was done two years earlier !

The album did very well for George in the U.K. album charts where it reached number 2. It was kept off the top slot by the original soundtrack album to the film "That'll Be The Day" ... which ... has Ringo as one of it's stars !

The very glossy gatefold cover, also included some colourful and full packaging.

The front cover photography was by Kendall L. Johnson, with the picture inside the gatefold being by Ken Marcus.

The right-hand on the front cover is holding (what looks like to me) an Indian scene, whereas the left-hand is clearly holding money. A U.S. dollar at the top.

If you could see my messed up inner gatefold cover shot above, you`d see that George is hosting an expensive lunch on the lawns of his Henley-on-Thames home. He is raising a glass to the musicians who are seated left to right, Gary Wright, Jim Horn, Klaus Voorman, Nicky Hopkins, Jim Keltner and Ringo.

Talking of the cover and Jim Keltner, there is also an odd addition on the back, where Jim's name is printed in-between what definately looks like the "Wings" set of wings, and says : Jim Keltner fan club - For all information send a stamped undressed elephant to 5112, Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood, California.

This was definitively about the break-up of the Beatles.

*Undici anni senza George Harrison*Su di lui ho già detto (e scritto) molto, ma mai come in questo caso *repetita iuvant*. Potrei raccontare di quanta poesia trasudino le sue canzoni, o dell'eleganza suprema delle sue chitarre, che hanno insegnato a suonare (e a innamorarsi del proprio strumento) ad almeno tre generazioni di chitarristi... Posso ricordare l'importanza (sempre meno riconosciuta) delle sue sperimentazioni, che è stata ENORME e ha spaziato dal raga all'elettronica alla world music, contribuendo in modo determinante alla stessa fondazione di questi stili... George è stato tutto questo, ma voglio raccontare di quando, e di come, l'ho sognato: i Bealtes sarebbero venuti a pranzare a casa mia, ed io semplicemente impazzivo di gioia all'idea che lo avrei avuto seduto accanto.E ora una delle mie preferite!#georgeharrison

In regard to your description above about the album, art work etc. In 1973 I actually did write for the Jim Keltner fan club button and 6 weeks later I got it. I sold it on Ebay about a year ago for 20 bucks. This was surely in response to the back of a McCartney LP that had a blurb about joining the "Wings Fun Club"

@Guisrage A little late to reply, but "This Song" responded to the My Sweet Lord lawsuits. This responds to the repeated lawsuits concerning the break up of the Beatles. "Hold your Bible in your hand, and all that's left is to find yourself a new band"

@MrMotownmanny Thanks mate. I got almost every Beatles, Lennon, and Harrison on LP. i got Band on the Run and Y Not on LP also. Every CD by the lads. I have a Hofner Violin Electric guitar similar to pauls but not in bass form. I'm saving up for a Red Les Paul like George's. Harrison and Jeff Beck are my two favorite guitarist.

@MrMotownmanny I just bought this album while i was visting california from a record shop in San Francisco for $8. It's original too. I was happy as hell. George inspired me to play guitar. I'm 16 (which isnt important).

This is not about the My Sweet Lord litigation. Sue Me, Sue You Blues was about the legal matters related to the breakup of the Beatles. Fantastic slide guitar by George.

@MrMotownmanny Interesting, I thought the song entitled "this song" was also a reaction to his lawsuit?

OMG I used to have the LP. I bought it in 1973. This was his reaction to to the My Sweet Lord contervercy over copyright infringement. He then wrote This Song in 1976.
