Sleeve Notes by Producer Giles Martin:
In 2009 I was privileged to be invited by Olivia to listen to tapes that George had stored in his library at Friar Park. In the beautiful setting of George\u2019s studio, overlooking the meticulous gardens that he had created, engineer Paul Hicks and I unboxed forgotten reels to hear the music George had left behind. This first collection provides a glimpse of what we found. From early multi-tracks of live takes of My Sweet Lord and All Things Must Pass to more recent tracks like Mama You\u2019ve Been On My Mind, we hear an intimacy to George\u2019s voice and guitar that can only be achieved with live performance devoid of production. I\u2019d like to thank Olivia and Dhani for the honour of being invited into their home to share the work that George gave us all.

\u201cGeorge Harrison: Living in the Material World\u201d focuses the imaginative and inspired eye of one of cinema\u2019s most pre-eminent filmmakers on one of the world\u2019s most influential men.\u00a0 The film takes viewers on the musical and spiritual voyage that was Harrison\u2019s life, much of it told in his own words.\u00a0 The result is deeply moving and touches each viewer in unique and individual ways.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Harrison was bold, an iconoclast. His platinum-selling solo record All Things Must Pass was released as a triple album and featured the hit single \u201cMy Sweet Lord.\u201d He organized the landmark benefit Concert for Bangladesh\u2014the first major rock concert to address a world crisis. He launched HandMade Films, a key factor in the revival of the British film industry in the 1980s.\u00a0 He spent 30 years restoring one of the great estates and gardens in England, Friar Park. In every aspect of his professional, personal and spiritual life, until his final hours, Harrison blazed his own path.<\/p>\n

As his friend John Lennon once said, \u201cGeorge himself is no mystery. But the mystery inside George is immense. It\u2019s watching him uncover it all little by little that\u2019s so damn interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n
