Kula Shaker's Crispian Mills joins Nicole Barlow and Ryan Pak to discuss the George Harrison soundtrack score for Joe Massot's 1968 film, Wonderwall. The score was the 1st project of any of the Beatles after their breakup, and it was Harrison's 1st time as a soundtrack composer. The soundtrack features many Indian musicians like Aashish Khan, Shivkumar Sharma, Shankar Ghosh, and Mahapurush Misra, It also features The Remo Four, Eric Clapton, and Ringo Starr.

Ironically, the Oasis song that shares the same name helped renew interest in the film even though the song "Wonderwall" does not sound anything like the music that Harrison created for Wonderwall.
