  • Splinter était un duo vocal originaire de South Shields en Angleterre et composé de William « Bill » Elliott et Robert « Bobby » Purvis. Le groupe s'est formé en 1974. Repéré par Mal Evans et présenté à George Harrison par ce biais, le groupe est le premier à être produit par le label fondé par l'ex-Beatle Dark Horse Records. De grands musiciens ont participé à leur premier album, The Place I Love, notamment Billy Preston, Jim Keltner, Klaus Voormann, Gary Wright, Alvin Lee et George Harrison sous le pseudonyme « Hari Georgeson ». Le single Costafine Town publié à la même époque entre dans le haut des charts de plusieurs pays. Dans les années suivantes, six autres albums ont été publiés par le groupe, jusqu'à la séparation du duo en 1984. Les deux derniers, réalisés sans l'aide de George Harrison, ont été publiés dans peu de pays ; principalement au Japon. Aucun des albums du groupe n'a été réédité. (fr)
