George Harrison Living in the Material World 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Box Set

[@sampleart1]

One of my fav George albums. Love the inside cover where he and the band are sitting outside in the garden having a banquet.

[@cindysue5474]

It was the scene from Jesus in the Last Supper.

[@rundoetx]

I've never been big on outtakes and such, usually only listening to them once and not again for years, but......I Iistened to Take 18 of Give Me Peace here on KZbin, and I was blown away. It's just George singing and playing his acoustic guitar, and it sounds beautiful. His voice is fragile but sounds soooo good. I want the boxed set based on my first listen to that Track alone. Mind blowingly good.

[@robbiedetroitstigermanviny8883]

Such a Prophetic Album name by George. Love it!

[@MarriedtoVinyl]

Definitely thank goodness no super deluxe edition! But we do love this album in our house so will probably have to get this.

[@johnmadden8722]

Yes, I’ll purchase the Deluxe box set & The 2 CD Set! Thanks 🙏

[@Brewin62]

Excited about this one. Very intimate George album. Repeated plays reward the listener.

[@7and12inchvinyl]

I have the original release...still in fab shape

[@BruceFrazer100]

Fantastic!! A fave of mine and this deluxe set is perfect for me. Can't wait. Thanks Mazzy

[@liverpoolstreetvideos2712]

The inner gatefold of the 1973 LP says the album was recorded at Apple Studio, 3 Savile Row, as does Kevin Howlett's notes in the 2006 release. However, I do seem to remember reading elsewhere that a lot of the recording was done at Friar Park. Was at Savile Row last week, tourists still queuing up for photos outside the front door.

I don't think this is as bad a cash grab as the Mind Games box (ridiculous), I'm buying the single album of that. OR the box of the early Beatles on the horizon (that box is about 130.00 overpriced--I'll be buying the single albums of that). I am a HUGE Beatle fan. And its very possible to be a huge Beatles fan and not buy everything. Some just do not have the extra income to do so, even though we might want to.

[@machiel5888]

You're a cool cat, Mazzy. This 25 year old wants to grow up to be you when he's older! ;) Your passion, articulate way of speaking, and beautiful collection of music and literature are a pleasure to see. Excited for this release. I'm a vinyl guy, so I'm here for the wax! I like black vinyl. Just like I always wore black soccer cleats, I also prefer the classic look of black vinyl.

[@andrewmeyer3423]

Fav of his solo albums. So powerful ❤

[@thevoid902]

My favourite Harrison LP and yes my original copy is a bit tired. So tempted . As for the Tshirt . Man I can't get into my jeans from last year! Love ya anyway! Peace friend .

[@jasonardler8373]

Great news and preorder is in - despite a cost of $420 AUD by the time you add international postage.

[@andreww3609]

Thanks for the video Mazzy. Can't wait for this!

[@ArthurNiehaus-xt9rv]

I remember when it came out WNEW-FM in New York played a whole side at a time, because it was a Beatle.

[@GMHG777]

Killer album, probably my 2nd fave !!

[@JimmyV1530]

Great news ....Thanks Mazzxy!

[@聖帝サウザー-s7n]

情報、ありがとうございます これは絶対に買いですね

[@charleswells8453]

I think Living in the Material World is George Harrison’s second greatest album. It contains at least four of his greatest compositions, songs that would have been worthy additions to his classic All Things Must Pass or any of the later Beatles albums.

[@christopherrigby2798]

I have a 1980 Capitol greenie here. The shock! ;)

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

Enjoyed the video!

[@ianmelville452]

Hey Mazzy, I beat your t-shirt challenge. I was at a 60th birthday party and we had to wear something we wore in the 60s. I managed to squeeze into my Scout Uniform shirt from 55 years ago. I guess my folks must've bought it with room for growth. Don't ask for a photo as no-one wants to see that!!!

[@mr.george7687]

For some reason I missed out on the OG. Will buy the single.

[@astrosjer822]

Great overview Mazzy. Thanks!

[@cindysue5474]

It would have been cool if it included the poster that was in the original album. That is another thing besides the artwork, but posters also were an added treat.

[@MD-wk3gj]

You are a poster child for this release and hearing you are interested is all anyone needs to know to understand they put together a package that will be successful. It’s great when a label does exactly what they should with a box set.

[@edwardrussell5989]

Great news Mazzy My favourite album of all time. I’m going to get the t shirt the drink bottle the lot 😜

[@fidelios_frequency]

Nice overview Mazzy! 🕉️

[@mazzysmusic]

And i thank you too. ✌🏼

[@danny1959]

The Jim Keltner Fanclub announcement on the cover was a parody of the Wings Funclub announcement on the cover of Red Rose Speedway.

[@chrisnicol1644]

Talk about New Releases.... I just ordered Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young: Live at the Filmore East, 1969... Should be here next month...

[@williamcardina89]

This is great news. Mazzy in The Morning should be on a Local News Station on regular basis. Hare Krishna Bro! It’s only a Northern Song.

[@allennudelman7189]

It’s become overkill. I’ll probably pick up the double vinyl version. Thanks for explaining all the ways to purchase this

[@chrishughes5049]

That T-shirt is great, I want one or two. Dark Horse re-release can't be that far behind. LITMW Great record, in the tradition of Beatles not repeating themselves, the first George album I bought, had already requisitioned my older brothers ATMP. Love all the seventies solo work, George didn't stop being George when the Beatles split and always loved his songs, same for Paul and John and sometimes Ringo( still think Blind Man is pretty good song) Thanks for the heads up.

[@mondoenterprises6710]

It Xmas Time in the City, Mazzy. Ergo, the releases.

[@marktrickett5081]

Personally I'm looking forward to the epic reissue of Give My Regards to Broad Street with lots more Beatles Covers 😉

[@davidbarnes3232]

P.S. watched your older Ranking the Kinks video and set me on exploring them. Thanks. Inexplicable that at 66 and collecting records for more than 50 years the Kinks slipped by me. Will be seeking several out. To return the favour I haven't seen you comment on Prefab Sprout (maybe). I think of them akin to XTC and Paddy Macaloon is a songwriter on par with Andy Partridge. Steve McQueen, Jordan The Comeback, From Langley Park To Memphis my top three

[@Delius1958]

Thank you, Mazzy. - This was my first of George‘s albums which I bought at the actual time of its release. Before that I had assembled ATMP and the Concert For Bangla Desh. Oh, what great years for George (and for me)! Material World is dear to my heart, but getting older I ask myself how often I should buy it. I have the two reissues (2006 and Apple years), but in the end most often I listen to my original LP. Are all those reissues really worth buying? It‘s a real question because I don‘t know. The Beatles in Mono Box Set is a jewel, but all the other stuff? I‘m getting short of room for them. Other people stay in good mood and buy it under all circumstances. It´s a feast for the music and our youth, I see that. Enjoy, very honestly said. Greetings from Berlin, Harry

[@Ad.Dd.James.]

The super deluxe edition sold out within 24 hours. They were advertised as ' Almost gone ' when I preordered my copy. I'll be looking forward to collecting more of Georges album catalog in this format when they are released in future.

[@MarkDoyle-tt5sf]

Have to wonder if Dhani and Sean share thoughts about the magnificent responsibility of curating works of their parents…

[@rocky-o]

[@davidrauh8118]

Why did they not include Deep Blue? I always loved that song.

[@leesanna7835]

Mazz, do you think George's 'Sunshine Life' will be on the 2cd version?

[@davepounds8924]

Nice to see this album getting the box set treatment! A solid Harrison record PS!! The shirt does look a little tight on you though!!!!

[@robertsaul234]

I have a vintage poster of your shirt. At least during the later Beatles' years, George would pick a arbitrary high number for a first take. It may have been a jab at the number of takes Paul was putting the the band through. As for the upcoming release, I'm happy to have the vinyl and cds packaged together. I don't have any 50 year old shirts. They would be child size for a thirteen year old.

[@vinylkajo]

In Germany 140€ for the deluxe boxset

[@jackneidinger9544]

They can make a deluxe version out of anything. Where's the Milli Vanilli box?

[@MortenAastad]

Hurray! 🎵🎸🕉️

[@thomastimlin1724]

Not a reissue, but there was the famous April 10, 1970 incident of Paul releasing "McCartney" [his first solo album] just before the Let It Be Album, in which he was forced by the press to announce in so many words the Beatles had broken up. most thought Paul quit the band and blamed him, even though no one knew at the time Lennon had left the band in Sept 1969. Those releases of course precedes and parallels today's "two Beatles projects." So when you said "I can't recall" you were correct.....lol. Prices? Still cheaper than a Paul McCartney concert ticket thank God.

[@Palosrob]

Just pre-ordered. $174.00 on amazon.

[@michaelrogers8126]

Just picked up a used copy of Living last week for $5 so I can wait a bit lol . Will probably go with the 2 CD version as that seems to be the cheapest option

[@eartraffic]

I have the 2006 reissue anniversary release on vinyl. It contains two bonus tracks on side II, along w/ a very nice full size booklet. I had the CD/DVD version but it was taken by someone over the years. I wonder if the full size poster is included in the Super Deluxe as it is only shown with the 2lp version. hmmm....

[@karalyncarlton6151]

Thanks Mazzy. I'm getting the Deluxe! (Question about your framed Lennon by Avedon: Is that poster stock or a real photo and what is the size? Would love to track one down.)

[@mazzysmusic]

@@karalyncarlton6151 the black & white Avedon is poster stock an edition released by the Avedon estate about 25 years ago. Not a photographic print.

[@franksmusic2880]

I will definitely pass on this release if it is anything like All Things Must Pass. That was a horrible reissue, good thing I only bought the 3 cd version. The original album of Living In A Material World, always sounded so good and the cd version from the nineties also sounds really good. This is my favorite solo album from Harrison, beautiful album.

[@neilbruce4201]

Ironically, just picked up a vinyl copy of the album. Disappointed in the sound so hoping the new one will be an improvement.

[@GIBKEL]

I hope they don’t press this at GZ Memphis. My last Dark Horse Joe strummer Mescaleros didn’t sound all that great.

This is an extreme paradox for me? The real thing is.. and it’s gonna sound dum but i have a digital music collection on my mac computer and phone and i want to be finished with it. everything is catalogued and tagged appropriately, yes i’m being “anal” and when i find out i have to update to a newer version 😖😫 ITS BACK TO WORK AGAIN! My portable disc drive went out on me so now i gotta download not even ever being sure that the sound quality and volume will match the rest of my music library..😫😫😫UUUGH!!! I know it’s “personal” problem but dammit i cant keep updating my digital collection all the time! Will this remixing, rerererereremastering of these albums ever end?? I want to finally be done with my collection and enjoy it because for reasons i can’t go into, it’s gonna be all i have left. There’s a chance i might lose my vinyl collection…(that’s another complicated story) Sorry for the complaint, i felt the need to voice my frustration. If i didn’t like the box coming out, i wouldnt be so frustrated… i know it sounds confusing but it’s really a paradox.

[@asufluffhead]

Record business...😂😂 If you worked at Blockbuster video, were you in the movie business?

[@thomosburn8740]

The original mix of this album is not great, hope they can find some dynamics in the remix. I'm not complaining about the songwriting of course as it was just fine.

Oh no, yet another cash grab but luckily I'm not a 'fan' of anyone.

Where does all this 'anniversary' re-issue stuff stop Mazzy? I know you're a Beatles 'completist' (not that you'll ever complete....sorry, just saying) I ask because The Stones have just released a 'One year anniversary' of 'Hackney Diamonds' which is a double splatter disc edition including said album and the live at Racket NYC disc. One year? WTF? I have pants older than that. It's got to stop somewhere.
