WONDERWALL
Wonderwall is a 1968 psychedelic film by first-time director Joe Massot that stars Jane Birkin, Jack MacGowran, and Iain Quarrier, and features Richard Wattis and Irene Handl, and a cameo by Dutch collective The Fool, who were also set designers for the film. The film is best remembered for its soundtrack, composed by then-Beatle George Harrison. (More from Wikipedia)
George Harrison released a series of wonderful instrumentals in 1968 called Wonderwall Music; the music is the soundtrack for a film called Wonderwall (which I have never seen) and later inspired the title of the gorgeous 1995 hit song by Oasis, "Wonderwall". This album is the first solo album by a member of the Beatles and also the first release on the band's label Apple Records. George Harrison undertook the album to introduce Indian classical music to rock and pop audiences, and he primarily collaborated on the project with a classical pianist and orchestral arranger named John Barham.

One thing about Kum Back that I didn’t particularly like was the seemingly endless performance of “Teddy Boy”; unlike most of the songs on the album that became part of the Beatles’ Let it Be album, “Teddy Boy” was instead released as a song on Paul McCartney's first solo album, McCartney – this album actually came out in April 1970, the month before Let it Be. (McCartney is not the first solo album by a Beatle though; Wonderwall Music, a soundtrack album of Indian classical music for a film called Wonderwall, was released in November 1968 by George Harrison).
