BMG has announced a 50th-anniversary reissue of Living in the Material World, George Harrison’s highly praised second solo album of original music following The Beatles’ 1970 dissolution.

The album, released in May 1973, resonated deeply with audiences and has become recognized amongst fans and critics alike as one of most poignant works of Harrison’s solo career.

Just five weeks after its release, both the LP and its single “Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)” held the top spots simultaneously on the U.S. albums and singles charts. Upon release, Rolling Stone described it as a “pop classic”.

Overseen by Dhani and Olivia Harrison, Living in the Material World has been completely remixed from the original tapes. Remixed by triple Grammy Award-winning engineer Paul Hicks, the new mix elevates the album with a sonic upgrade, delivering a sound that’s brighter, richer, and more dynamic than before.

The first taste of the collection comes in the form of an acoustic version of “Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth) (Take 18).”
