George Harrison signed Delaney & Bonnie to Apple Records in 1969 despite them already having a pre-existing contract with Elektra. Their 1969 album ‘Accept No Substitute’ was scheduled for release by Apple before Apple discovered it was already out on Elektra in the USA. Apple manufactured vinyl copies but never released the album. The vinyl is now a collectible.

Delaney & Bonnie divorced in 1972 and never recorded again. However, they did manage one hit song in 1971 with ‘Never Ending Song of Love’.
