Beware of ABKCO!
Beware of ABKCO! is a bootleg album of songs performed by English rock musician George Harrison in May 1970.
It contains songs that were under consideration for Harrison's triple album" All Things Must Pass", his first release as a solo artist following the break- up of the Beatles.
The performances were taped in a single session at Abbey Road Studios in London, for the benefit of Harrison's co-producer, Phil Spector.
Seven of the fifteen songs were subsequently recorded formally for inclusion on" All Things Must Pass", as was" Everybody, Nobody" after Harrison reworked it as" Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp( Let It Roll)".
The bootleg provides the only available record of five songs that Harrison never revisited during his career.
Among these is a 1968 collaboration with Bob Dylan titled" Nowhere to Go".
Harrison sings and performs on acoustic and electric guitar throughout, with an unnamed bass player on" Wah- Wah" providing the only extra accompaniment.
The album title derives from Harrison's performance of" Beware of Darkness", where he altered a line to mention Allen Klein's management company ABKCO.
Three recordings from the collection were later issued on official releases.
These were" Beware of Darkness" and" Let It Down", both of which Harrison included as bonus tracks on the 2001 reissue of" All Things Must Pass"( with lead guitar and keyboard overdubs added to" Let It Down"); and" Run of the Mill", which appears on the 2012 outtakes and demos compilation.
Alonso Mudarra
Alonso Mudarra( c. 1510 – April 1, 1580) was a Spanish composer of the Renaissance, and also played the vihuela, a guitar- shaped string instrument.
He was an innovative composer of instrumental music as well as songs, and was the composer of the earliest surviving music for the guitar.
George Harrison
George Harrison (25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001) was an English musician, singer-songwriter, and music and film producer who achieved international fame as the lead guitarist of the Beatles.
Sometimes called "the quiet Beatle", Harrison embraced Indian culture and helped broaden the scope of popular music through his incorporation of Indian instrumentation and Hindu-aligned spirituality in the Beatles' work.
Although the majority of the band's songs were written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, most Beatles albums from 1965 onwards contained at least two Harrison compositions.
His songs for the group included "TaxmanWithin You Without YouWhile
My Guitar Gently WeepsHere Comes the Sun" and "Something".
Harrison's earliest musical influences included George Formby and Django Reinhardt; Carl Perkins, Chet Atkins and Chuck Berry were subsequent influences.
By 1965, he had begun to lead the Beatles into folk rock through his interest in Bob Dylan and the Byrds, and towards Indian classical music through his use of the sitar on "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)".
Having initiated the band's embracing of Transcendental Meditation in 1967, he subsequently developed an association with the Hare Krishna movement.
After the band's break-up in 1970, Harrison released the triple album "All Things Must Pass", a critically acclaimed work that produced his most successful hit single, "My Sweet Lord", and introduced his signature sound as a solo artist, the slide guitar.
He also organised the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh with Indian musician Ravi Shankar, a precursor to later benefit concerts such as Live Aid.
In his role as a music and film producer, Harrison produced acts signed to the Beatles' Apple record label before founding Dark Horse Records in 1974 and co-founding HandMade Films in 1978.
Harrison released several best-selling singles and albums as a solo performer.
In 1988, he co-founded the platinum-selling supergroup the Traveling Wilburys.
A prolific recording artist, he was featured as a guest guitarist on tracks by Badfinger, Ronnie Wood and Billy Preston, and collaborated on songs and music with Dylan, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr and Tom Petty, among others. "
Rolling Stone" magazine ranked him number 11 in their list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".
He is a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee – as a member of the Beatles in 1988, and posthumously for his solo career in 2004.
Harrison's first marriage, to model Pattie Boyd in 1966, ended in divorce in 1977.
The following year he married Olivia Arias, with whom he had a son, Dhani.
Harrison died from lung cancer in 2001 at the age of 58, two years after surviving a knife attack by an intruder at his Friar Park home.
His remains were cremated and the ashes were scattered according to Hindu tradition in a private ceremony in the Ganges and Yamuna rivers in India.
He left an estate of almost £100 million.

Let It Roll
Let It Roll may refer to:
Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)
"Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released on his 1970 triple album "All Things Must Pass".
Harrison wrote the song as a tribute to Frank Crisp, a nineteenth-century lawyer and the original owner of Friar Park – the Victorian Gothic residence in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, that Harrison purchased in early 1970.
Commentators have likened the song to a cinematic journey through the grand house and the grounds of the estate.
The recording features backing from musicians such as Pete Drake, Billy Preston, Gary Wright, Klaus Voormann and Alan White.
It was co-produced by Phil Spector, whose heavy use of reverb adds to the ethereal quality of the song.
AllMusic critic Scott Janovitz describes "Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)" as offering "a glimpse of the true George Harrison – at once mystical, humorous, solitary, playful, and serious".
Crisp's eccentric homilies, which the former Beatle discovered inscribed inside the house and around the property, inspired subsequent compositions of Harrison's, including "Ding Dong, Ding Dong" and
"The Answer's at the End".
Together with the Friar Park-shot album cover for "
All Things Must PassBallad of Sir Frankie Crisp" established an association between Harrison and his Henley estate that has continued since his death in November 2001.
The composition gained further notability in 2009 when it provided the title for Harrison's posthumous compilation .
My Morning Jacket lead singer Jim James and Dhani Harrison are among the artists who have covered the song.
