Following the expiration of his EMI-affiliated Apple contract, Thirty Three & 1/3 (1976) was Harrison's debut release on his Dark Horse label, distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. The remainder of his 1970s studio albums, starting with Dark Horse (1974), were all certified gold by the RIAA but performed disappointingly on the UK albums chart. His 1973 album Living in the Material World and the single 'Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)' repeated the US success of his 1970 solo releases by simultaneously holding the number 1 position on Billboard's albums and singles charts. In 1971 Harrison recorded pop music's first charity single, 'Bangla Desh', and released the Concert for Bangladesh triple live album (credited to George Harrison & Friends) to raise further funds for refugees of the Bangladesh Liberation War. All Things Must Pass produced the international number 1 hit 'My Sweet Lord', which was coupled as a double A-side with 'Isn't It a Pity' in the majority of countries. Harrison's acclaimed triple album All Things Must Pass (1970) was certified six-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in March 2001 and, as of 2011, was still the most successful album by an ex-Beatle.
