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.
Here’s the tracklist:
CD 1 : As before, but now remixed:
- Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)
- Sue Me, Sue You Blues
- Light That Has Lighted The World, The
- Don´t Let Me Wait Too Long
- Who Can See It
- Living In The Material World
- The Lord Loves The One (That Loves The Lord)
- Be Here Now
- Try Some Buy Some
- The Day The World Gets ´Round
- That Is All
