''The Whale'' comprises three main sections: Opening (Biblical Narrative), Melodrama and Pantomime (Storm) and Prayer (In the belly of the Whale). It was premiered at a [[Proms]] concert on [[1 August]], [[1969]], with the [[London Sinfonietta]] under [[David Atherton]] with soloists [[Anna Reynolds]], [[Raimund Herincx]], [[Alvar Liddell]] and the composer playing [[pipe organ|pipe]] and [[hammond organ]]s. In July 1970, ''The Whale'' was recorded in [[Islington]], [[London]] with the same musicians. It was released as an album by [[The Beatles]]' [[Apple Records]] label later that year.
 
The album was re-released in the mid-1970s on Ringo Starr's label, Ring'O Records, with a different cover.
