The album was recorded following his troubled North American tour at the end of the previous year and the poorly received Dark Horse album. Extra Texture was Harrison's final release under his contract with Apple Records and EMI, and also the last studio album issued by Apple.

Alone among the studio albums that Harrison released between the break-up of the Beatles and his death in 2001, most of the recording for Extra Texture was carried out in the United States. The sessions took place on part of A&M's block along La Brea Avenue in Hollywood, where both the studio and the record company were based. Throughout the spring and summer of 1975, Harrison regularly attended Dark Horse's office, located in a bungalow shared with A&M-distributed Ode Records, and otherwise became fully involved in the Los Angeles music scene. Shortly before starting work on the album, he was among the guests at Wings' party on the Queen Mary ocean liner, at Long Beach, where a "drawn"-looking Harrison was seen socializing with Paul McCartney for the first time since the Beatles' break-up five years before. Often accompanied by Arias, Harrison caught shows by Bob Marley & the Wailers, Smokey Robinson and Santana, socialized with Ringo Starr, and met up with Preston and Ronnie Wood backstage after one of the Rolling Stones' concerts at the LA Forum.

With Norman Kinney as engineer, Harrison recorded the basic tracks for the new songs between 21 April and 7 May 1975. Among the musicians on the album were many of Harrison's previous collaborators and associates, including Jim Keltner (drums), Gary Wright (keyboards), Jesse Ed Davis (guitar), Klaus Voormann (bass), and Tom Scott, Jim Horn and Chuck Findley (all horns). On what would turn out to be a noticeably keyboard-dominated sound, Leon Russell and Nicky Hopkins made guest appearances as well.

Voormann, a close friend of Harrison's since 1960, found the atmosphere at the sessions unpleasant; he later cited the heavy drug use typical of the LA music scene, in particular, but also the ex-Beatle's "frame of mind when he was doing this album". Keltner, who described his own friendship with Harrison as "like brothers", has similarly spoken of Los Angeles as an unsuitable environment for Harrison during this period, while commenting that Arias "came into the picture at just the right time, a crazy, dark time". With Voormann choosing to absent himself, Harrison played some of the album's bass parts himself, using either ARP or Moog synthesizer.

Despite its downbeat mood and the negative reviews it received from music critics, Extra Texture was certified gold for US sales within two months of release and produced a modest hit single in the song "You". Uniquely among George Harrison's solo albums, Extra Texture was mostly recorded in America rather than in England.

Depression permeated many of the songs that Harrison was writing during this period, an issue that was not helped by his continued heavy drinking and cocaine use, nor the bad publicity attending the ongoing "My Sweet Lord" plagiarism suit. The lyrics for "The Answer's at the End", "This Guitar (Can't Keep from Crying)", "World of Stone" and "Grey Cloudy Lies" would all steer clear of his usual subject matter − Hindu spirituality − and instead appear to beg the listener for compassion.

[Lyrics]
Can't stop thinking about you
Can't stop thinking about you
It's no good living without you
I can't stop thinking about you
Can't stop thinking about you
Can't stop thinking about you
And it's no good living without you
I can't stop thinking about you
When the nighttime comes around
Daylight has left me, I
I can't take it if I don't see you no more
I can't help it, I need your loving so much more
And I can't stop thinking about you
Can't stop thinking about you
And it's no good living without you
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking about you, ooh
I can't stop thinking about
Can't stop thinking about
Can't stop thinking about you
When the morning comes around
And the daylight gets to me, I
I can't take it if I don't see you no more
I can't help it, I need your loving so much more
And I can't stop thinking about you, oh yeah
I can't stop thinking about you
And it's no good living without you
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking about you
I can't stop thinking about
Can't stop thinking about
Can't stop thinking about you, yeah
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking about you, oh yeah
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking about you

Джордж настоящий гений равный талантом Моцарту, это становится ясно из того, как он свободно обращается со звуком.

Не могу перестать думать о тебе
Не могу перестать думать о тебе
Нет хорошего в жизни без тебя
Я не могу перестать думать о тебе

Не могу перестать думать о тебе
Не могу перестать думать о тебе
И нет ничего хорошего в жизни без тебя
Я не могу перестать думать о тебе

Когда ночь наступает
День оставил меня, я
Я не могу принять то, что не увижу тебя больше
Не могу помочь, мне нужна твоя любовь ещё больше

И я не могу перестать думать о тебе
Не могу перестать думать о тебе
И нет ничего хорошего в жизни без тебя
Я не могу перестать думать
Я не могу перестать думать
Я не могу перестать думать о тебе, ооо

Не могу перестать думать
Не могу перестать думать
Не могу перестать думать о тебе

Когда ночь наступает
День оставил меня, я
Я не могу принять то, что не увижу тебя больше
Не могу помочь, мне нужна твоя любовь ещё больше

И я не могу перестать думать о тебе, о да
Я не могу перестать думать о тебе
И нет ничего хорошего в жизни без тебя
Я не могу перестать думать
Я не могу перестать думать
Я не могу перестать думать о тебе

Я не могу перестать думать
Не могу перестать думать
Не могу перестать думать о тебе


Не могу перестать думать
Не могу перестать думать
Не могу перестать думать о тебе

I remember listening to this album in 1975. It still sucks. I just listened to that whole boring repetitive song, waiting for the guitar to kick in. Then... a couple of notes...
