18 Jan 18

In honor of George Harrison’s 75th birthday on February 25, Concert For George has been remastered. Available February 23, it is available in the following configurations: Deluxe Limited Edition Box Set, 4-LP Box Set, 2-CD + 2-DVD Combo Pack, 2-CD + 2-Blu-rays Combo Pack and 2-CD. All are available now for pre-order.

The tribute concert was organized by Olivia Harrison and Eric Clapton and took place one year after George’s passing on November 29, 2002. Held at London’s Royal Albert Hall, the evening featured George’s songs and music he loved. Artists honoring George included Eric, Joe Brown, Dhani Harrison, Jools Holland, Jeff Lynne, Paul McCartney, Monty Python, Tom Petty, Billy Preston, Ravi & Anoushka Shankar, Ringo Starr and more.

With this re-issue, Concert For George is also available for the first time on vinyl. The Deluxe Box Set features the complete sound and film recordings from the concert (on 4 180-gram audiophile LPs, 2 CDs, 2 DVDs and 2 Blu-rays), a 12”x12” hard-bound 60-page book, plus an opportunity to own a piece of the historic event, by way of a cutting from the original hand-painted on-stage tapestry used as the backdrop at the Royal Albert Hall. The package is housed in a gold-colored, fabric-wrapped box with a die-cut mandala window to display the unique stage fabric (which is mounted on an individually numbered card, suitable for framing). Includes a note from Olivia Harrison, explaining the story behind the tapestry. It is limited to 1,000 pieces worldwide.
