youtu.be/TIu3LwF4_Bs - With Apple Records behind me, I skip a couple years and a couple albums to Georges 33 1/3 on his Dark Horse label. Dark Horse Records is a record label founded by former Beatle George Harrison in 1974. The labels formation coincided with the winding down of the Beatles Apple Records and allowed Harrison to continue supporting other artists projects while maintaining his solo career. He and [Ringo] Starr considered buying Apple in 1973 and running it themselves, but Harrison was wary of business complications associated with the label. Harrison eventually agreed terms with A&M Records for the latter to distribute his new label worldwide. For a company name, Harrison used the title of a song he had written in 1973, Dark Horse. The inspiration for the Dark Horse Records logo came from a label on a tin that Harrison found during a trip to India. The logo features the seven-headed horse Uchchaisravas, a common figure in Indian art and mythology. After Harrison signed with Dark Horse Records on 27 January 1976, all of his subsequent recordings were released through the label, starting with that years Thirty Three & 1/3 and ending with Live in Japan in 1992. After the latter, it went into hiatus for ten years. Dark Horse was distributed by A&M Records (1974–76), Warner Bros. Records (1976–94)[23] and EMI (2002–04). ~ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Horse_Records
