Fun facts
George Harrison released a special album called Apple Jam as part of his triple album All Things Must Pass from 1970. It was an LP that had four instrumental tracks, three recorded during the album sessions, and one dedicated to It's Johnny's Birthday, a tribute to the 30th birthday of John Lennon. The album was made by Apple Records to make the album more appealing, which was expensive and one of the first to have three discs in one. The cover of Apple Jam was designed by Tom Wilkes with a jam jar logo and apple leaves.

The story behind
George Harrison wrote I Remember Jeep as part of the album All Things Must Pass, released in November 1970. The song lasts more than eight minutes and feels like a story being told aloud, with a melody that goes back and forth, as if remembering something that happened a long time ago. The lyrics speak of a moment when someone remembered an old friend, Jeep, and how that left them thinking. It is not a fast-paced song nor one with very clear lyrics, rather it is a piece that makes you feel as if you were sitting in a quiet place, listening to something that reminds you of yourself. Harrison's guitar, with its slide sound, takes center stage, as if it were the voice that takes you through the story. The song is not complicated, but it has a special touch that makes it different.
