Songs published under Harrisongs

The later Beatles compositions of George Harrison, including arguably his best songs, 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps', 'Something' and 'Here Comes The Sun' where published under Harrisongs. The fact that Harrison was able to do his best work when given the freedom of his band members certainly shows the pressure and frustration he felt as a insignificant writer under his peers.

The early solo work of Harrison also was put through Harrisongs. These albums were:

Electronic Sound
Wonderwall Music
All Things Must Pass
Concert For Bangladesh

Harrison's gave the publishing rights to his next album, 'Living In The Material World' to the Material World Charitable Foundation. All albums following this were published through Ganga Publishing, B.V. in the United States, and Oops Publising in Britain and the rest of the world. Music is now published through Umlaut Corporation, controlled by Olivia Harrison.

The use of Harrisongs for George Harrison allowed him to have creative freedom, it was much more that just a business venture, it was a sign that he new his work was just as worthy as that of Lennon and McCartney, and wanted to prove this to his doubters. This breakaway could be seen as the beginnings of the end, in the respect that music could be made independently of one another, however, I feel this strengthened the band, for a time at least, as Harrison and Starr were no longer restricted by the more succesful pair, but still respected in their work, and so the band had new influences to feed from, and made some of their greatest music.
