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.

George Harrison wrote Out of the Blue as part of the album All Things Must Pass, which was released in November 1970. It was his first solo work after the Beatles broke up in April of that year. The song was recorded during the same period, when Harrison was already exploring his own voice as an artist. It has a gentle rhythm, with soft guitar and lyrics that speak of deep emotions. It lasts 11 minutes and 16 seconds, making it a piece that can be played live without rush. People still follow listening to it, with over 39 thousand listeners on Last.fm.
