Bio

Over a span of 14 years, thirteen original Beatle albums, several compilations and six solo albums were released. George looked forward to a change with such anticipation that in 1974 he created his own lable. Although it would be two years before his contractual obligations were fulfilled, Dark Horse Records was ready for George's arrival.

The Dark Horse lable was distributed initially by Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss's A&M Records, situated at the old Charlie Chaplin studios on La Brea Avenue in Hollywood. George recorded six Dark Horse albums from 1976 to 1992. They contained songs written while he was in the Beatles including, "See Yourself", and "Not Guilty", right up to "Cheer Down", written at the request of Dick Donner, the director of Leathal Weapon 2.
