In fact, George wrote ‘Mystical One’ with Eric (‘shimmering slowhand’) in mind. ‘Mystical One’ and ‘Your Love is Forever’ are my favourite ballads the type of love song Eric Clapton describes as spiritual love songs. Listening to the albums in chronological order, George’s evolution as a songwriter, guitarist and seeker are obvious.

Some of George’s songs were featured in movies made by his company Handmade Films, including, ‘Shanghai Surprise ’ from the much talked about but little seen Sean Penn and Madonna movie and ‘Dream Away’ from Terry Gilliam’s Time Bandits.
They contained songs written while he was in the Beatle s (‘See Yourself’ and ‘Not Guilty’) right up to ‘Cheer Down,’ written at the request of Dick Donner, the director of Lethal Weapon 2. George recorded six Dark Horse albums from 1976 to 1992. staff for the video of ‘This Song ’ from Thirty Three & 1/3 and he remained close friends with Mo Ostin for the rest of his life. George enjoyed the Warner family, even recruiting Warner Bros. Mo Ostin had stepped in to sign George for what would be the remainder of his solo music career, as well as two albums with The Traveling Wilburys. Ravi Shankar, the band Attitudes (with friend Jim Keltner), the duo Splinter from South Shields (produced by George), R&B vocal group The Stairsteps, ex-Joe Cocker guitarist Henry McCullough and a California band named Jiva made up the Dark Horse roster.īy the time George came to release Thirty Three & 1/3 - his first album for the label, Dark Horse had moved to Warner Bros. Over two years, eight albums were released by artists on his label. George spent a good deal of time at the Dark Horse office while recording his own album, Extra Texture, in A&M studios. Not only had he been in the Beatles, but George’s 1971 album, All Things Must Pass, was the first number one solo album after the break-up of the band the Concert for Bangladesh and Living In The Material World were still fresh in our minds and George was held in high esteem by us all. Having worked at A&M for the previous two years I knew how much prestige George would bring to any record company. We shared the ground floor of a two-storey bungalow with Lou Adler’s Ode Records. In October 1974, I was there to welcome George to his new office. The Dark Horse label was distributed initially by Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss’s A&M Records, situated on the old Charlie Chaplin studios on La Brea Avenue in Hollywood.
Although it would be two years before his contractual obligations were fulfilled, Dark Horse Records was ready for George’s arrival. George looked forward to a change with such anticipation that in 1974 he created his own label. Over a span of 14 years, thirteen original Beatle albums, ten compilations and six solo albums were released. It was first negotiated for the Beatles as a group by Brian Epstein in 1962 and renewed in 1967 with additional rights as solo artists. The year 1976 marked the end of George Harrison’s recording contract with EMI (Parlophone).
