George Harrison’s Electronic Sound was released on May 9, 1969, as the second and final album on The Beatles’ avant-garde Zapple Records label. The album is an experimental work featuring two extended tracks: “Under the Mersey Wall” and “No Time or Space”, both performed on a Moog IIIp synthesizer. It was one of the earliest electronic music albums by a rock musician, showcasing Harrison’s fascination with the Moog synthesizer, which he had purchased from its inventor, Robert Moog. The album’s creation was influenced by avant-garde trends in London and Los Angeles during the late 1960s, with “No Time or Space” originating from a Moog demonstration by Bernie Krause in Los Angeles in November 1968, and “Under the Mersey Wall” recorded at Harrison’s home in Surrey in February 1969
