‘Living In The Material World’ was a number one album in Australia, the USA and reached number two in the UK.
In honour of its 50th Anniversary, George Harrison’s Living In The Material World is being celebrated with a suite of new releases overseen by Dhani & Olivia Harrison and featuring a stunning new mix of the classic album by multi-Grammy Award winner Paul Hicks.
Limited to 5,000 units globally, the Super Deluxe Edition box set features the album on 2LP 180g vinyl and 2CD, along with 1 x Blu-ray, which includes the newly remixed original album and a bonus disc containing 12 previously unreleased Harrison tracks, featuring early renditions of every song on the main album. Additionally, the set includes an exclusive 7” single of the never-before-heard recording of ‘Sunshine Life For Me (Sail Away Raymond),’ featuring Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, and Rick Danko from The Band, alongside Ringo Starr.
Housed in a rigid slipcase, the box set contains a beautiful 60-page hardcover book curated by the Harrison Estate, with unseen imagery and memorabilia from the era, handwritten lyrics, studio notes, and tape box images. Also included is a 12-page Recording Notes booklet, drawing from the original Living in the Material World production notes, photographs, and reel-to-reel session tapes housed in the George Harrison Archive. For the first time, the Harrison archive team offers an in-depth, chronological account of the album’s creation, revealing insights that have never been shared with the public before.
