George Harrison's ninth studio album, released on June 1, 1981, reflects his frustration with the music industry and serves as a tribute to his late bandmate, John Lennon. The album features the hit single "All Those Years Ago," which reached number 2 in the U.S. and number 13 in the U.K. Despite its success, it was Harrison's first album since the Beatles' breakup not to achieve gold status in the U.S. Fun fact: The original album cover, featuring Harrison's profile against a map of Great Britain, was rejected by Warner Bros. Records.
