Description:

This is the original mono issue of 'Wonderwall Music', released on 1 November 1968. The songs are all instrumental pieces, except for occasional non-English vocals, and mostly comprise short musical vignettes. Following his Indian-styled compositions for the Beatles since 1966, he used the film score project to further promote Indian classical music by introducing rock audiences to instruments that were relatively little-known in the West – including shehnai, sarod, tar shehnai and santoor. The Indian pieces are contrasted by Western musical selections, in the psychedelic rock, experimental, country and ragtime styles. While viewed as a curiosity by some rock music critics, 'Wonderwall Music' is recognised for its inventiveness in fusing Western and Eastern sounds, and as being a precursor to the 1980s world music trend.
