The Quiet One

In 1970, shortly after the Beatles broke up, George Harrison released his first solo record All Things Must Pass. It has become a classic. However, the most important part was the cover, obviously.

Yes, those are garden gnomes! How did this blog last this long without including George Harrison in Friar Park? The photographs were taken by Barry Feinstein. The gnomes were said to represent the members of Harrison's former band, who had just infamously broke up. There was a rumor that the cover image pissed off John Lennon, but he was probably just  jealously angry over Harrison's remarkable music made without him. 

I think we all know musical talent had nothing to do with it. This record did so well because of the gnomes on the cover.
