Did George Harrison steal credit for "Electronic Sound"?

This week marks the release of George Harrison's Apple Years , a box set collecting all the studio albums he issued on the Beatles' own record label.

However you see it, I think our hope is that people will see all four films.” Each film in the series will be from the perspective of a different band member, and are being led by Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr and Harris Dickinson as John Lennon. ...She added: “The Beatles are simply, I think, the greatest band in history...
