George Harrison was a British rock guitarist, singer-songwriter, and film producer. Born on February 25, 1943 in Liverpool, England, he is best known as the lead guitarist of The Beatles. In addition to his musical talents, Harrison was also an admirer of Indian culture and mysticism. He introduced this interest to the other members of The Beatles and even traveled with them to Rishikesh, India in 1968 to study meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Throughout his life, Harrison embraced the Hare Krishna tradition and became a lifelong devotee.

In recognition of his contributions to music, George Harrison was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 as a performer. He was also honored by being appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) along with The Beatles in 1965. Additionally, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame posthumously in 2009.

George Harrison had two marriages during his lifetime. He was married to Pattie Boyd from January 21, 1966 until their divorce in 1977. Afterward, he married Olivia Arias on September 2, 1978 until his death. Together with Olivia Harrison, he had one son named Dhani Harrison.

Dark Horse Records and Record Store Day are excited to announce a multi-year partnership to release limited Zoetrope picture disc pressings of George Harrison’s entire studio album catalog. The first two titles in the RSD exclusive series — Wonderwall Music and Electronic Sound — will be available on Record Store Day in April 2024. Limited to 8,000 units globally and exclusive to Record Store Day, each unit is individually numbered in silver foil and includes an insert reproducing the original artwork. 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 synthesizer (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 Electronic Sound LP featured one exploratory long-form work.
