Dark Horse Records, launched by George Harrison in 1974 and now distributed via BMG, has added three LPs, formerly issued by the Beatles' Apple label, to its stable.
Billy Preston's albums, That’s The Way God Planned It (1969) and Encouraging Words (1970) are now available for streaming here. Likewise, the Radha Krsna Temple LP, issued on Apple in 1971, can be streamed here.
That's the Way God Planned It, produced by George, came on the heels of Preston's work with the Beatles on the "Let it Be" sessions. George is featured playing guitars, Moog synthesizer and sitar on the album, which also features appearances by Keith Richards, Doris Troy, Ginger Baker and Madeline Bell.
Preston's follow-up, Encouraging Words, was co-produced by George and Preston, and includes Preston's versions of "All Things Must Pass" and "My Sweet Lord," which were issued two months ahead of Harrison's versions on All Things Must Pass.
The album also includes Preston's cover of "I've Got a Feeling" and features contributions from Harrison, Ringo Starr, Klaus Voormann, Delaney Bramlett, Jim Gordon, Bobby Keys and the Edwin Hawkins Singers.
Radha Krsna Temple is a self-titled release from a U.K. Hare Krishna group that fell into George's orbit. The LP includes devotional songs, including "Hare Krishna Mantra", which also was released as a single. Harrison produced the album and played guitar and bass on some of its tracks.
