In his autobiography, I, Me, Mine, Harrison says that вЂњSour Milk SeaвЂќ espouses meditation as a means to improve the quality of oneвЂ™s life, as well as advocating a proactive approach when faced with difficulty. Leng views it as a follow-up to вЂњ Within You Without YouвЂњ, in which Harrison had first channelled the teachings of the Hindu Vedas into a song. Author Simon Leng writes that with вЂњSour Milk SeaвЂќ, Harrison adopted вЂњthe role of advertising executiveвЂќ to further promote meditation. With Life magazine labelling 1968 вЂњthe Year of the GuruвЂќ, the BeatlesвЂ™ visit generated wide interest in Transcendental Meditation, and Eastern spirituality generally, among Western youth. Having first visited India in September 1966, following the BeatlesвЂ™ final concert tour, Harrison became enamoured of the teachings of the Maharishi and led his Beatles bandmates to Rishikesh to study Transcendental Meditation two years later. вЂњSour Milk SeaвЂќ was one of several songs that George Harrison wrote while staying at Maharishi Mahesh YogiвЂ™s ashram in Rishikesh, India, from February to April 1968. The track also appears on the 2010 multi-artist compilation Come and Get It: The Best of Apple Records.

Several writers consider that the song deserved to be a hit for Lomax and that, had the Beatles retained it for the White Album, it would have been among the best songs on the album. вЂњSour Milk SeaвЂќ received favourable reviews in 1968 and has continued to invite praise from music critics, particularly for the energetic quality of the performance. Together with its B-side, the Lomax-written вЂњThe Eagle Laughs at YouвЂќ, the song was included on the singerвЂ™s only Apple album, Is This What You Want?, released in March 1969. On release, LomaxвЂ™s single was overshadowed in AppleвЂ™s вЂњOur First FourвЂќ promotional campaign by the BeatlesвЂ™ вЂњ Hey JudeвЂќ and Mary HopkinвЂ™s вЂњ Those Were the DaysвЂњ it enjoyed only minor success internationally, becoming a top 30 hit in Canada. The group recorded a demo of the song while considering material for their 1968 double album, The Beatles (also known as the White Album). In the lyrics, Harrison espouses meditation as a remedy for worldly cares. Harrison wrote вЂњSour Milk SeaвЂќ to promote Transcendental Meditation, which the Beatles had been studying in Rishikesh with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Performed in the hard rock style, the song also includes musical contributions from Eric Clapton and session pianist Nicky Hopkins, and was the first of many Harrison productions for artists signed to the BeatlesвЂ™ record label. The recording is a rarity among non-Beatles songs since it features three members of the band вЂ“ Harrison, who also produced the track, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney. It was written by George Harrison during the BeatlesвЂ™ stay in Rishikesh, India, and given to Lomax to help launch Apple Records. вЂњSour Milk SeaвЂќ is a song by English rock singer Jackie Lomax that was released as his debut single on the BeatlesвЂ™ Apple record label in August 1968.
