George Harrison’s 1973 album Living in the Material World will be reissued as a 50th anniversary edition across five different formats in November.
Harrison scored a double in America at the time, when both the album and its only single – ‘Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)’ – topped the charts. Neither feat was managed in the UK.
The album has been remixed by Paul Hicks for this release and as usual the project is overseen and managed by Dhani and Olivia Harrison.
2CD and 2LP editions feature the new stereo mix and offer bonus discs with alternate takes, while a super deluxe box adds a blu-ray audio with new Dolby Atmos and 5.1 mixes (alongside a hi-res stereo version). Unfortunately, the box set also includes, rather unnecessarily, both vinyl records and a seven-inch single.
Living in the Material World will be reissued on 15 November 2024, via BMG.
