Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Wonderwall Music is the debut studio album by George Harrison, released in 1968. It was released as a Solo Side Project while he was still a member of The Beatles. The album is the Cult Soundtrack to the film Wonderwall from 1968, making Harrison the second Beatle to compose a soundtrack and release it as a Solo Side Project after Paul McCartney's score for the film The Family Way from 1967. Wonderwall Music was the first release on the Beatles' label Apple Records and thus promoted as the first official "solo" Beatles record.Sessions for this album took place both in Bombay/Mumbai, India as well as London. Harrison worked together with classical pianist and orchestral arranger John Barham, as well as Indian classical musicians Aashish Khan, Shivkumar Sharma, Shankar Ghosh and Mahapurush Misra. The rock sections feature contributions from Tony Ashton and the Remo Four, Eric Clapton, Peter Tork of The Monkees and Ringo Starr.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })John Lennon's Solo Side Project Unfinished Music No. 1: Two Virgins was released a week later and became so notorious for its Contemptible Cover and Avant-garde Music noise that it effectively and unfortunately put Harrison's album a bit in the shadow, despite getting better reviews and higher sales.Anyway, not to be confused with Oasis's Signature Song "Wonderwall", although its title was inspired by this album.

Cult Soundtrack: The album is the soundtrack to the nowadays forgotten film Wonderwall from 1968, which starred Jane Birkin, who would later work together with Serge Gainsbourg on several of their projects. A lot of music that can be heard in the film doesn't appear on the soundtrack, though.

Record Producer: George Harrison. On the original release Harrison didn't mention his own musical contributions, leading many to incorrectly believe he was just the producer and arranger.

Separated by the Wall: The album cover. On request of Harrison and chagrin of the original artist a brick was removed from the wall, so that "the fellow on the other side would be given a chance." The back cover shows the Berlin Wall.

Avant-garde Music: "Dream Scene" is a very experimental track, complete with tape loops playing backwards and stock sound effects. It was also created several months before John Lennon and Yoko Ono created "Revolution #9" on The White Album from 1968.
