The Place I Love is the debut album by English vocal duo Splinter, released on Dark Horse Records in September 1974. It was the first album released by the Dark Horse label, which was owned by George Harrison, who also produced the album. Recording sessions took place at Harrison's Friar Park home studio in Oxfordshire and featured extensive musical contributions from Harrison, on guitar, keyboards and other instruments, as well as participants such as Gary Wright, Billy Preston, Jim Keltner and Alvin Lee. "Costafine Town", the first single from the album, was a top-twenty hit in the United Kingdom and other countries.
On release, the album received favourable reviews from a number of critics, who likened its sound to that of the Beatles, Badfinger and Plastic Ono Band. Having long been unavailable, The Place I Love was issued on CD in 2015.
