It
was Harrison's first album release on his Dark Horse record label, the
worldwide distribution for which changed from A&M Records to Warner
Bros. as a result of his late delivery of the album's master tapes.
Among other misfortunes affecting its creation, Harrison suffered
hepatitis midway through recording, and the copyright infringement suit
regarding his 1970–71 hit song "My Sweet Lord" was decided in favour of
the plaintiff, Bright Tunes Music. The album contains the US top 30
singles "This Song" – Harrison's satire on that lawsuit and the notion
of plagiarism in pop music – and "Crackerbox Palace". Despite the
problems associated with the album, many music critics recognised Thirty
Three & 1/3 as a return to form for Harrison after his poorly
received work during 1974–75, and considered it his strongest collection
of songs since 1970's acclaimed All Things Must Pass.
Harrison
recorded Thirty Three & 1/3 at his Friar Park home studio, with
production assistance from Tom Scott. Other musicians on the recording
include Billy Preston, Gary Wright, Willie Weeks, David Foster and Alvin
Taylor. Harrison undertook extensive promotion for the album, which
included producing comedy-themed video clips for three of the songs, two
of which were directed by Monty Python member Eric Idle, and making a
number of radio and television appearances. Among the latter was a live
performance with singer-songwriter Paul Simon on NBC's Saturday Night
Live. The album was remastered in 2004 as part of the Dark Horse Years
1976–1992 reissues following Harrison's death in 2001.
