Get your poppy Anglo raga on to start a blissed out and perhaps creepy Halloween weekend. a tasty piece of work . The cover pretty much says it all. As literal as covers get other than calling your record something lame like "Peel Slowly and See" and you have a big banana on the front.

This album was the soundtrack to the 1968 film Wonderwall, which starred Jack MacGowran, Jane Birkin, Irene Handl, and Richard Wattis. The film received it's World premiere at the Cannes film festival 17th May 1968, at which George and Ringo both attended. The director was Joe Mussot, who was a personal friend of George's, and invited him to compose the music for the film. George was shown an unfinished version of the film, and made home recordings of each theme which he used as an outline in the actual recordings. But, many were just basic outlines, and George relied on the experience of the musicians to expand and develop the themes in the studio.
All the English titles were recorded in London in December 1967, and the Indian titles were recorded in E.M.I.'s studios in Bombay between 9th and 17th January 1968 (incidentally, the same sessions produced the backing track for "The Inner Light").
The album sleeve was designed by Bob Gill, John Kelly and Alan Aldridge, with the front cover painting by Bob Gill.
