Both songs of this single were recorded before the band went to India in 1968 to study Meditation. It
was their last single which was released in the Parlophone label because by late 1968 their albums
and singles became released also by Parlophone but in their Apple Records label."Lady Madonna", mainly composed by McCartney, is a Rock song with good backing vocals and a sax solo (played by a session musician) and with some "vocal imitations" of some horn instruments done by Lennon, McCartney and Harrison. It also has two different drum tracks recorded by Ringo Starr each played in a different way. "The Inner Light" is an Indian Music song composed by Harrison, but recorded by him in India in late 1967 and in early 1968 while he was recording a soundtrack album for a British film called "Wonderwall", in an album which was the first album released as soloist by any member of the band and also was the first album released in their Apple Records label. The instrumentation in this song was played by Indian musicians (like in most of the "Wonderwall Music" album) playing instruments of that country, but with Harrison adding lead vocals in London later and also with brief backing vocals by Lennon and McCartney in the last lyrics line of the song. It was the last song of this style of music which Harrison recorded to be released by the band.
