dbo:abstract Splinter was an English two-man vocal group from South Shields, England, consisting of Bill Elliott (William Elliott) and Bobby Purvis (Robert J Purvis), who formed in the early 1970s. They were connected with ex-Beatle George Harrison, and had groups of instrumentalists to back them on each album. Splinter was the first act signed to Harrison's Dark Horse Records label, when it was partnered with A&M Records. The band's sound has often been likened to that of The Beatles (particularly George Harrison and John Lennon) and Badfinger. The duo's biggest success came with their debut album, the critically admired The Place I Love (1974), which contained the hit single "Costafine Town". The Place I Love, Harder to Live and Two Man Band have been remastered and reissued on compact disc on the Big Pink Music label from South Korea. The remainder of Splinter's catalogue is out of print and has yet to be issued on compact disc. Elliott died in June 2021. (en) Splinter était un duo vocal originaire de South Shields en Angleterre et composé de William « Bill » Elliott et Robert « Bobby » Purvis. Le groupe s'est formé en 1974. Repéré par Mal Evans et présenté à George Harrison par ce biais, le groupe est le premier à être produit par le label fondé par l'ex-Beatle Dark Horse Records. De grands musiciens ont participé à leur premier album, The Place I Love, notamment Billy Preston, Jim Keltner, Klaus Voormann, Gary Wright, Alvin Lee et George Harrison sous le pseudonyme « Hari Georgeson ». Le single Costafine Town publié à la même époque entre dans le haut des charts de plusieurs pays. Dans les années suivantes, six autres albums ont été publiés par le groupe, jusqu'à la séparation du duo en 1984. Les deux derniers, réalisés sans l'aide de George Harrison, ont été publiés dans peu de pays ; principalement au Japon. Aucun des albums du groupe n'a été réédité.
