Allen Klein was determined to get rid of anyone harming Apple finances. While George worked on two solo instrumental albums, the first at Apple to be let go was Ron Kass. He was the American boss of Apple Records. George helped with Billy Preston's first album on Apple. On August 22 1969, the band posed for their last group photograph.
The band's contract with Capitol was about to expire. Paul and his new family had retreated to a farm in Scotland. John had formed a band called the Plastic Ono Band. A rumor had started that Paul was dead. ' Abbey Road' was released on September 26 1969. It was successful for the band. The album sold 4 million copies in 2 months. George's song ' Something' was the album's showpiece track.
' Something' was about the Harrison's marriage. George did not know about Eric Clapton's infatuation with his wife Pattie. Pattie had been dealing with George's coldness, obsessive meditating and blatant infidelities.
