Yes, I heard of its existence, still during the Beatle days. Interesting, reminds me of John's Two Virgins.

George also released a soundtrack called Wonderwall while still in the Beatles.

If we're talking about semi-obscure Beatle releases how about Paul McCartney's soundtrack to The Family Way? I believe that was the first Beatles solo release.

Oh, and sorry to nitpick but the title of the George Harrison album is Electronic Sound.

I have both Harrisson's records on vinyl. Interesting time pieces, that's all...

Watched that for the first time over Christmas. Didn't really like his music and the film was a bit odd to say the elaset, but I liked the psychedelic imagery by The Fool.

Technically, that was released by George Martin. Paul wrote the music though.

Eh, technically Newpower Soul is an N.P.G. album but we all know the truth.

I don't think that's exactly the same thing. That's more like Wings, Plastic Ono Band, Traveling Wilburys, or Ringo and His All-Starr Band, which are groups. On the US version of A Hard Day's Night soundtrack, there's also George Martin instrumentals of Beatle tracks.

Wonderwall is a good album.

Well, the idea wasn't traditional catchy pop songs or the traditional Indian music George is fond of. It's more of an experimental electronics album like Delia Derbyshire or Raymond Scott. I think George had one of the first Moog synths and that's how this came about.

I think that is the truth. I like Revolution 9, so I am open to this kind of thing, but this seems a bit dull

Revolution 9 is tape loops strung together.
