George Harrison felt 'limited' and 'pigeon-holed' working on a 'weird' Beatles album

Saturday, April 5, 2025

Music icon George Harrison said he felt "limited" and "pigeon-holed" working on one of The Beatles' most famous albums, which he dubbed as "weird."

Around 1967, after the group had sworn off touring and released Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, cracks began forming in the Fab Four and they started growing apart.

Each band member yearned to work on their own separate projects and essentially wanted to break out of the Beatles bubble that had held them back for about seven years.

During a 1977 interview with Crawdaddy, Harrison said the first time he thought about leaving The Beatles, a period he called "depressing," was when the group was recording The White Album.

He explained that "it was a problem making a double album because it takes such a long time," and "it was a period that had started a bit negative."

"It was a bit difficult and we got through it and it was fine," Harrison said, but working on The Beatles' following album proved even worse for him.
