Material World remix etc
So, the Harrison estate is finally bringing us the 50th anniversary edition of “Living In The Material World”, and releases this preview. This is a bonus track, take 18 of the hit song of the album, “Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)”.
“In honor of its 50th Anniversary, George Harrison’s Living In The Material album has been completely remixed from the original tapes for a stunning suite of 50th anniversary releases. Lovingly overseen by Dhani and Olivia Harrison, the album was remixed by triple GRAMMY® Award winner Paul Hicks.”
So it’s “a stunning suite” of releases, let’s just hope it falls a bit short of the “Mind Games” cube Sean and Yoko delivered. We’d hate to see this escalate.

CD 1 : As before, but now remixed:

Front cover of the Super DeLuxe box
At least disc 2 of this is alternate takes, whereas the Mind Games box presented five variations of each of the same 12 master takes.
There was a CD of outtakes for the 11 songs, with one more as a “hidden track”. Plus a take of I’m The Greatest.
Yes. But there were still 5 discs of the same 12 performances. Including Nutopian International Anthem.
Three discs maybe, because one isolates individual instruments, and another shows how the song developed from demos or from the first take. The others are reworkings of the master take, intended to enhance John’s vocals. In 1970, the Beatles released different versions of the same take of Get Back, Across The Universe and Let It Be, all of which which had previously been released.
No, there were alternate takes on MIND GAMES.
I understand why people who like LPs would want the CDs, but why would anyone who likes CDs want the LPs?
I think that’s why there is a standalone 2 CD version. Unless I’m misunderstanding the different formats available.
Wow !!
A Blu-ray audio !
Pleas Estelle.memits available as a standalone.
I wish there were more outtakes
Is “Sunshine Life For Me” really only on the single and CD 2 of the Super Deluxe Box, but not on CD 2 of the Deluxe CD-edition? WTF!! 🤔😢😡
We listed it on CD2 of the regular 2CD edition, have you seen a different track listing?
Yes, in the official store: https://georgeharrison.tmstor.es/product/150909
