The
Harrison family is proud to announce the release of GeorgeHarrison - The Vinyl Collection (USM)
box set featuring all of George Harrison’s solo studio albums in
one collection for the first time. (Order link for Amazon.co.UK in the United Kingdom, Amazon.ca in Canada and Amazon.co.jp in Japan. FYI, the Canadian price converted to U.S. dollars is $387, which is quite a bit less than the $486 price for the U.S.)
The
vinyl box set includes all twelve of George’s studio albums with
exact replicas of the original release track listing and artwork.
Also included in the box set are George’s classic live album Live
In Japan (2LP), and two 12” single picture
discs of ‘When We Was Fab’ and ‘Got My Mind Set On You’. All
the discs are 180-gram heavyweight vinyl and are housed in a
high-quality two-piece rigid slipcase box. The original analogue
master tapes were used for the new re-masters and were cut at the
legendary Capitol studios to ensure exceptional audio quality
throughout. The individual albums from the collection will also be
available separately, with All Things Must
Pass as a limited edition title.
George’s
autobiography I
Me Mine – The Extended Edition
(Genesis
Publications)
George
Harrison’s I Me Mine was
originally published by the specialist book publisher, Genesis
Publications in 1980. It became the first of many collaborations
between George and Genesis founder, Brian Roylance. In
conversation with his friend and former Beatles press officer Derek
Taylor, and in a first-person commentary that accompanies his songs,
Harrison's own words recount everything from his upbringing in
Liverpool, to early Beatlemania, his spirituality and philosophy.
This new extended version of the book now spans
the complete length of Harrison’s career in music, told in his
words and through 141 songs with hand written lyric sheets faithfully
reproduced in full color. Now stretching to 632 pages it features
lyrics to more than 50 songs not previously included, as well as new
photographs, many unpublished until now.
