Electronic Sound

The GAMBRINUS MP3 blog (at their new address!) has posted GEORGE HARRISON's 1969 Zapple release "Electronic Sound". I'm really not up on whether or not this is in print somewhere in the world, but it has NOT been in print in the U.S. for a long time now ("Long Long Long"?).....

This LP was another example of Harrison's occasional credit-where-credit-is-due neglect. Apparently BERNIE KRAUSE claimed to be responsible for one side of the LP, recorded as he gave a Moog synthesizer demonstration to Harrison in California in 1968. Krause was originally to have been credited on the cover, but that credit was at least mostly obscured when it was finally released. Krause would later pursue legal action, but I don't know whatever came of it.

Other similar issues for Harrison include: lifting the first line of his song "Something" from a song called "Something In The Way She Moves" which was on JAMES TAYLOR's 1968 Apple LP; not crediting DELANEY BRAMLETT for co-writing "My Sweet Lord"; being sued because "My Sweet Lord" sounds too much like "He's So Fine"; and not crediting PAUL MCCARTNEY for co-writing "I Me Mine" (Paul wrote the chorus - we clearly hear this happening on the infamous Nagra audio from the "Let It Be" sessions - although I'm sure Paul was not concerned).

Anyway, here's the page with "Electronic Sound":
