Answer
The Place I Love
The Splinter album that was the first album released by George Harrison's Dark Horse label was The Place I Love.
Splinter's debut was released on 20 September 1974 and carried Dark Horse catalog number 22001, identifying it as the label's first album release. Harrison produced the record and contributed extensively as a musician, playing guitar, keyboards and other instruments at sessions held largely at his Friar Park studio in Oxfordshire.
Splinter were the English vocal duo Bill Elliott and Bob Purvis. Their single “Costafine Town” became their biggest success, reaching number 17 in the United Kingdom and helping The Place I Love reach number 81 on the US album chart. Other contributors included Gary Wright, Billy Preston, Jim Keltner and Alvin Lee.
The album is sometimes confused with other early Dark Horse-associated releases because Harrison, Ravi Shankar and several friends were active around the label at the same time. But the catalog sequence and contemporary release history identify The Place I Love as Dark Horse's first album issued to the public.
