Living in the Material World, George Harrison's highly praised 2nd solo album of original music following The Beatles' 1970 dissolution, recently marked its 50th anniversary. With lyrics underscoring his enduring exploration of spiritual themes, the album resonated deeply with audiences. Just 5 weeks after its May 1973 release, both the LP and its single "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)" held the top spots simultaneously on the US album and single charts. Upon release, Rolling Stone described it as a "pop classic," a work that "stands alone as an article of faith, miraculous in its radiance." Lovingly overseen by Dhani and Olivia Harrison, Living in the Material World has now been completely remixed from the original tapes for a stunning suite of 50th anniversary releases. Remixed by 3x GRAMMY Award-winning engineer Paul Hicks, the new mix elevates the album with a sonic upgrade, delivering a sound that's brighter, richer and more dynamic than ever before. Deluxe 2 CD set includes a bonus disc of outtakes. Clamshell box, 20-page booklet, poster.
