On January 30, 1969, atop the Apple Studios Building in London, the Beatles staged what would become the climactic scene for their film Let It Be. “We went on the roof to resolve the live concert idea because it was much simpler than going anywhere else; also, nobody had ever done that, so it would be interesting to see what happened when we started playing up there. It was a nice little social study. We set up a camera in the Apple reception area, behind a window so nobody could see it, and we filmed people coming in. The police and everybody came in saying, ‘You can’t do that! You’ve got to stop.’” – George Harrison, Anthology.

After the Beatles disbanded, George Harrison embarked on his solo career with an ambitious project, releasing what can truly be called his first solo album. This impressive work initially consisted of three LPs, later condensed into a double CD.
