Trivia
"Beware of ABKCO" "Beware of Darkness" is a song by George Harrison that featured on his first post-beatle album "All Things Must Pass". When he was demoing this song for Phil Spector during 1970 he jokingly changed one line of the lyrics to "Beware of ABKCO", probably referring to the economic disaster the Beatles went through because of Allen Klein's mismanagement.
