So due to circumstances beyond my control, I'm just dropping by to say hi and give you a thumbs up for what I'm sure is a good video 🙂My Amazon order has been delayed for a week, so I'll be back to view this video as soon as I get to unbox my own. I ordered the 2 cd set, arriving tomorrow, as a consolation prize.
Thanks for the 'like' Pete . Why are Amazon so useless these days - they used to be brilliant at this stuff. Enjoy the box when it arrives but you wont be disappointed with the CDs they sound brilliant
Hi Tone!! Beard Wash 😀😀😀Thanks for sharing the beautiful graphic design of this album!! Thanks for taking the time to respond to viewer comments . . . I'm sure it takes a lot of time and effort! Beatlefan Dan USA
I actually got some Beard wash last year as my secret Santa gift at work, and it is a really nice product..... at first I thought it was a joke, but it actually is quite pleasant.
Great looking box Beatley Tone! Dhani did a great job on this set I listened to it this morning and it sounds excellent and the demos and outtakes and the new video Sail away Raymond sounds great! Great unboxing Tone hope to get mine today. The book looks great happy you got yours today Thanks Tone enjoy your Channel
Thanks very much John , glad you enjoyed the video and channel and agree this has been a great product delivered by the Harrison camp and it all sounds fantastic . Enjoy yours when it arrives
Streamed on Amazon Music in Ultra HD and it sounded fantastic. I always thought this album was muddy and the prior remasters didn’t fix it. I will be purchasing the CD version for sure.
Thanks for the great video Tone. I received my box set yesterday morning. I'll tell you there is something special about this release. Not only is the care that has been put into this beautiful box set, but what Dhani and Paul Hicks have done to the audio is sublime. I know this album well, yet I have not stopped listening to it all weekend. Even the second outtakes disc is compelling. Hope you enjoy it too.😮
Nice vlog as always. Happy to see you doing well. I just got this box yesterday and I picked up the orange vinyl. What I noticed is that the poster only comes with the double vinyl or double cd set. Really loving Sunshine Life for Me (Sail Away Raymond). They did a nice video for this track as well.
Hi Tony. Wow, what a mess you had to try and get this album again lol but fantastic. You got to manage to do this well done you. I enjoyed your video. It was fantastic to see this new box set. I’m on holiday right now so my vinyl of this is at home at the neighbors house. They picked it up for me lol gonna be late on this one mate. But I sure enjoyed your video well done as I said, and I hope you have a great rest of the weekendcheers mate
Great video Tone! That Jim Ketner Fan Club thing was a knock on Paul. Paul's Red Rose Speedway had a blurb on the back to join the Wings FUN CLUB stating the send a self-addressed stamped envelope. That's why the Jim Keltner has the Wings logos on either side of his name.
impressive box very pleased I ordered it now, the book looks fantastic (I think the fruit pieces are from the banquet table, nice touch) , had email an hour or so ago from HMV saying my click and collect is available to collect, will wait till first thing in the morning as do not fancy going back into town today.! Yes I remember stamped addressed envelopes lol! Great video very comprehensive thanks Mark. PS Picked the box up from HMV Colchester this morning and I am really impressed with the quality of this box, pure class !
Sorry Mark , it's taken me a while to get to this. Yes I should have guessed that was the point of the fruit. Glad you've picked up the box now, totally agree the whole package is superb
Hi Tone Great box. I'll get mine tomorrow. I had to stay home today. But I heard the remix. It's sounds so clear, really a good job. Enjoy listening. Take care
Great video, Tone. Good to see you looking so well. Imagine how great you'd look if you used BEARD WASH!😂 Looking forward to your review and also some of the gubbins coming up on the channel. Good work 👍
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed the video and the channel in general . thanks for the compliment , im trying to imagine the improvement that beard wash could make. I just wash it with shampoo in the shower lol.
Hiya Tone, great unboxing,I'm still waiting for mine to arrive, had nothing from the site yet, so there will probably be about 1000 videos out on RUclips by the time I get mine Lol, back to your lovely video, this box set looks amazing so can't wait to get my copy, keep up the fantastic work, cheers, Dave
Hi Tone. Thank you for the unboxing. I have ordered this but personal circumstances meant that I had to find a way to delay delivery until 21st November. It did take a little discussion to achieve this through Amazon but they came up trumps in the end, so I will be getting this a little later than many! Probably a bit unique moaning about it arriving on release date and delaying things, but there you go! Looks like a very nice package and it is good to see the recording notes present and correct which I think was only in the crate version of All Things Must Pass. People obviously listened to comments and feedback.
Hi Dave, glad you enjoyed the video. It's an excellent package and the remix is superb. Recording notes are really interesting. Enjoy yours when it arrives next week
Fantastic unboxing Tone. I ordered the deluxe box set off Amazon and, funny old thing, it hasn't arrived yet and no notification of when it will. Looks like a great box though. Looking forward to your full review of the music in due course. Take care.
I would LOVE to hear these early versions of songs from "Dark Horse" and "33 1/2." I am hopeful that their exclusion here portends Paul Hicks remixes and deluxe treatments for those albums, and his entire solo catalog eventually. I am an outlier in that I LOVE "Dark Horse" and "Extra Texture." They are without a doubt very different George albums, but I have a tendency for fondness towards the Dark Horses (ha ha) in artists' catalogs, like Neil Young's "Trans," and Led Zeppelin's "In Through The Out Door." I bet "My Love [is like a]" is "Maya Love." And now I am dead curious to know / hear what "All Over Love," "Boxed Up In A Corner," and "Moonlight (Flight?)" are!!! Never heard of those titles before and they do not suggest themselves as early versions of anything I can remember hearing from our man George.
Well hopefully we will get one of these every year with Dark Horse next. - an album I always loved (deep dive review on the channel). Not so keen on Extra Texture or In through the out Door though.. Ive never heard of those mysterious track titles either
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel I have been fortunate to have Tom Scott and Andy Newmark play on songs of mine. They are such great chaps and I enjoy knowing them (albeit casually). I have yet to ask them for GH stories. I should though.
I ordered from the Harrison web site as well Tone and have not had an email as of yet that it has shipped, I live in Texas and the web site says they ship from Austin, Texas. A whole two hours away from me ????? Crazy. So glad you have one on release day. Enjoyed your video, hope you enjoy the music ! Take care.
Hi Sharon, that really is crazy - 2 hours away and they cant deliver on time. it's a similar story all over the world today. I dont understand why they cant get this stuff out on time based on pre-orders. Anyway enjoy your stuff when it arrives . Glad you enjoyed the video. have a great weekend
Hi Tone I used What Records to order this for £114.99 plus postage and it arrived at 10.20 this morning. Will certainly use them for future Beatles releases. I have played both vinyl records and really enjoyed it. Also the 7 inch was good too. I particularly enjoyed the outtakes disc, very stripped back. The photos in the book are terrific, really glossy. All in all good value I think. The only slight negative point is that I wish the CDs had individual cases to protect them if you play them in the car. Looking forward to your full review Regards Andrew
Excellent price, I also heard that Amazon Germany were doing it for around £100 and managed to deliver to the UK on release day believe it or not. Anyway glad you have it Andrew and are enjoying it. It's a superb set. I would also prefer the CDs to be in a cover like the DVD is
Thanks for a great unboxing, Tone! Rumour has it that Amazon Germany's boxed set price is 25 euros or squid CHEAPER than the UK Amazon price. Not sure on speed of delivery, however. Massive thanks for sparing us those annoying adverts, especially as L don't have a beard!
Thanks very much , glad you enjoyed the video. Yes i heard Andrew Dixon say that. He got his from Amazon Germany and it turned up on release day which Amazon UK dont seem to be able to manage which is nuts
Now that is a seriously beautiful production. I am in the middle of writing my first novel and Be Here Now is referred to in the opening pages. Thanks Tone
Hi Tone sorry you've had to wait to get the boxset from the website in this day an' age where online shopping is sooooo popular you're right they could make sure it's with the customer on the day, i only buy from my local record shops hmv bluewater and casbah in greenwich. Anyway it is a wonderful boxset, the pictures in the books came across really well, but for me i'll pick up the 2 cd set, congratulations on your 5.000 subs too take care.
Sounds like you're not to far away from me . It's a superb set and you wont be disappointed with the 2CD version, the Cds sound superb. Thanks for the congrats
I am getting the box set. It is due to arrive today!! Can't wait to enjoy it. Thank you for your wonderful preview. I did not order the purple vinyl (I don't have a record player and typically do not buy vinyl). But from the little I see it looks so beautiful. So ... maybe I might buy one once I see better photos of it. I did buy the clear "Now And Then" single. That is gorgeous with the Apple label.
Thank you Tone for showing this I don’t receive my super deluxe box set till the 19th I wasn’t sure which one to purchase but the hardcover book did it for me. As it wasn’t cheap to buy $424.29 AUD or £209.00 so I’m very happy that I picked the deluxe one now . And I’m so happy I found this amazing channel . Take Care
Thanks very much Stella, really glad that you enjoy the channel. Not to long to wait till yours arrives. Enjoy it - it's superb, but wow that was a big price
Great looking set Tone loved the video I ordered super deluxe set also I agree with your comment on what’s up with not getting the box set until a week after it’s released really frustrating have a great weekend
My super deluxe boxset should arrive in Tasmania by the end of November, along with the limited edition purple vinyl, double CD and tshirt. I do enjoy seeing the unboxing video before I do eventually get my hands on this one. I will definitely purchase every official Darkhorse Records super deluxe edition reissue of George Harrison's solo albums.
Here in the US Amazon is delivering this on release day, while the artists official websites (Beatles group and individual member's sites) are always late.
Thanks for sharing Seems to common issue delayed delivery from official sites. At least Record stores seem to have them ready on the day. Look forward to next video
When I ordered my ticket for the 1974 George Harrison concert I had to include a Self Addressed Stamped Elephant. Nice overview of the new set since I'll just be streaming it. Instead my money went toward the giant Who's Next box which I got for almost half price.
Wonderful, wonderful review or should I say unboxing 😅 does look amazing but sadly won't be getting the deluxe box set. Instead I will be getting the two CD version but wait for it.....not until Christmas as it is a Christmas present from one of my friends. I am trying not to listen to anything as it is appearing on RUclips now as I want to listen to it all in one go on Christmas day. I will still be watching your reviews of the album and outtakes though as that is not the same as listening to it ( my excuse) 😅😅 thank you again Tone, will be watching out for the next episode. Take care
Thanks very much Maurice, glad you enjoyed the video. That seems like a long time to wait but I expect it will pass quickly. You wont be disappointed with the CDs - they sound amazing
I also meant to say I admire you for not springing for that full mono Capital box set. It's not worth spending all that extra money for a two LP interview disc that has been shunned by the record label for over half a century just to get a hard bound book.so thanks for that as well.
@@andersbackstrom Yes it was an odd decision because it meant they had to make 2 versions of the Extras Cd as the one in the box set includes Sunshine. I guess the thinking is if someone is spending a fortune on a box set they derisive something extra
The whole "Jim Keltner Fan Club" thing is the mocking of an almost identical message (Excluding the undressed stamped elephant, of course) for Wings Fun Club put on Red Rose Speedway, exactly, as on Living In The Material World, on the bottom end of the rear cover. As you can see, Jim Keltner's name is written between two Wings, in the style of Paul's band. Another amicable and lighthearted dig at Paul after his old Liverpool telephone number publicly dictated by George at the end of Miss O'Dell
Curiouser and curiouser.... got my coloured vinyl an hour or so ago and just got an email saying it's been despatched ...looked at the tracker and apparently they have it and it's being delivered tomorrow. Only ordered 1 and I have it...perhaps they are feeling generous and sending me 2😂😂
Hi Tone, great unboxing video. You are correct unboxiing seems to have been created on here. I just rip things open 😂 I love the mix of vinyl, DVD, CD, book and collectable items. Dhani has done a fantastic job, I hope he gets a Grammy nod for this. This is how all deluxe box sets should be, I hope Dhani keeps this going for all of George's albums. Hopefully we get one every year, if not more frequently. My box set arrived today, it sounds amazing. Loved it. Such an improvement on the original release. Still waiting for my coloured vinyl to arrive! You will enjoy listening to the box set Tone. Enjoyed the video mate 🎉
Thanks very much Rich, glad you enjoyed the video. Yep it's just opening things and it weird I get move nervous about doing unboxing videos (which should be easy) because you only get one crack at it - once it's open , its open and you cant go back 😎. Dhani has definitely done a great job with this and as I said in the video, I wish all box sets could have everything in one box . I still think the lennon boxes are best as far as music content goes but this is really great and the remix is superb and I also hope we now get all the rest of Geroge's albums done like this but without the 3 year gap between each one. Glad you've got your box and enjoying it. My Purple vinyl arrived today so will get a 'opening up stuff' video for this on Monday.
@beatleytonesbeatleschannel my purple vinyl arrived this am. I love the detail with the booklet, anti static sleeve and the repo inner sleeve. Dhani is doing his Dad proud. I am with you, let hope we get at least one each year. If they take too long I might not be able to hear them 🤣
Hi Tone…great vid..did you know that the Jim keltner fan club message on the back of the album was a direct piss take of the wings fun club one on the back of red rose speedway which came out just before material world in 1973…a lot of people missed that gag…keep up the good work..
No Sunshine Life at all on my 2CD version Tone.I was surprised it was in my mailbox this morn though and it sounds great on my 90's Technics stack system. Thanks for showing the big box mate because i only ever get the 2 CD boxes with solo stuff {and sometimes the standard vinyl} and save the big bucks up for big super deluxe vinyl Beatles boxes.Cheers Brother Tone
Thanks Tone. I have ordered deluxe set plus all the other versions. A SHM CD has not yet been released in Japan. I expect one will be released in future.
I am a wombat. I ordered the super deluxe thinking it was just CDs and also ordered the Purple vinyl to have it on vinyl. I didn't realize you get a black vinyl in the super deluxe. Duh!!! Not sure when I am gonna get any of it tho as I ordered it from the official store here in the US and they never deliver on release day which is really annoying. But hopefully will have it in my hands this week! I also ordered a mug and a t-shirt in the hope that one day I will be thin enough to actually wear it. Dream on.
You bloody wombat ! Im telling you off now Nicholas, because if you'd watched my LITMW announcement video , I explained exactly was in each set . Still you ended up ordering the same as me . Im still waiting for my purple. Mrs BT also ordered a t-shirt. Enjoy all your swag when it arrives
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Do you know if this was recorded at Saville Row? It says Apple Studios so I would think that is what it means. I know I am wrong but I always thought Let It Be was the only think recorded there, but I guess all the non-beatle apple releases were too? Any other solo beatles albums recorded there? I've never seen anything that clearly lays out the apple studios discography - maybe a future video?
Hi Tone, the package looks terrific. My copy has been dispatched apparently but as usual I don’t expect to see it for a couple of weeks - despite paying outrageous postage costs. I agree with you, I’m not sure why they can’t ship these items allowing for the lead time they know is required for them to reach their destination on time? Anyway, I am currently on holiday in New Zealand so have had lots of time to listen to it on Spotify and the remix sounds fantastic. The overall listening experience has been improved immensely. Good to see you looking so well. Have a great weekend.
Hi Jase, I do feel for all you guys in Oz, everything takes so long to get to you despite it only taking a day to get from here to there . I spent 3 weeks in NZ in 2013 - amazing place so have a great holiday. Have a great time and hopefully your stuff will be at home when you get back.
Hi Tone… at home now listening to cd 1 of my box set .. and what a great set it is .. will read through the book over the weekend… Sound fantastic and looks fantastic…. The only thing l would like to have seen in the box is the poster from the standalone vinyl release… oh and maybe a posh ribbon to help get the contents out … neither is a deal breaker.. Enjoy your set …and only 5000.. me thinks it will sell out….
Yes I totally agree with your minor gripes Dean, but wow doesnt the album sound fantastic ! Its still available to buy in the UK but sold out in the US
Hi Tone & again great to see you looking well & as for LITMW i've never made any secret it's never been a favorite of mine & i have listened to it a few times on Spotify & i does sound better & cleaner but it's the Godley lyrics that i dislike.... Always love the track Miss O'Dell & a great mix here but i'm very surprised one of George's greatest early songs the stunning Deep Blue isn't included here at all !!! A great video as always good man.
I pre-ordered on the 8th of November with Amazon au and its said sold out for the last couple of weeks. They said they will make it a priority and I should receive sometime this month. So ATM I watch you with jealousy.
Thanks very much Stevie. I think this album will go up in people's estimation due to the remix as it's absolutely stunning. I cant remember where I ranked this when I did a George's album video but there are certainly George albums that I prefer. I assume that Deep Blue isnt here because it wasnt part of the LITMW sessions - it was 2 years old by the time this album was made but it's an odd one because as the Bangla Desh single and it's B side where standalone, they dont really have a natural home on any album
Thanks for the overview BT. Set looks very nice indeed. Know what you mean about amazon, I ordered it weeks ago and its not coming till Tuesday. However, if i order today...Friday...it will arrive tomorrow...eh ? Anyway Im going for 2 cd set with 2 x lp for Christmas from Mrs. Looking forward to watching your review.
Not too long to wait then Jim, but that's weird that you can order today and get it tomorrow. But why cant these companies get this stuff out for release day. It's not like they dont know when it is. Sadly a similar story all over the world. You wont be disappointed with the 2 Cd set though, it sounds amazing
Spot on re Amazon. They’re notorious these days for not delivering on release day… same for 4K HD Steelbooks etc. too. I never got my Band on the Run or One Hand Clapping despite pre-ordering from them when announced. Should be getting George CDs today from them but it’ll probably be next week, if at all. Album boxset looks good but I weakened and ordered Beatles 64 albums boxset instead. I know I said I wasn’t going to as have them on CD but I was sucked in by the hype. Enjoy all your new demos etc and see you for your review when you’re ready. All the best, Andy
Same story all over Andy. Ive given up on Amazon for stuff I have to have on release day because I n o longer trust them but less important stuff I still use them. Well enjoy the US albums next week and the GH CDs whenever they arrive (CDs sound fantastic )
Wow tony. You're not going to have any money at this rate! I think it's really Keen that you're so dedicated to your channel for the point where you buy another copy of something that you already paid for that you don't have on the day you said you would review it! That makes you a pretty stand-up fella. And gosh I thank you for it. My question is what are you going to do with the other 11 copies of it that you ordered and haven't received yet. Haha. Thank you seriously.
Hi there Tone and thank you so much for this vid and a very happy Unboxing day! I haven't ordered the Box set, just the 2 CD set and the 2 LP set. My Cd's arrived earlier while I was at work, but I did have a very nice and apologetic email about my 2 LP set. The site I've ordered it from have had a delay in delivery from Universal, so it looks like I won't be getting it until later next week, but when it arrives I will be getting it mailed out via registered 24 hr mail , so all is good on that front. The Box set looks beautiful, the George Harrison estate really have surpassed themselves with this release, maybe this is the way forward for all future box sets. I for one would be in favour of a box containing both vinyl and CD's, as I collect both, and always buy both iterations of an album where I can. One question. The single included with the box set, is this available to stream or download at all? Because on my 2 CD set it's not on there. On another note though box set related, are you aware that the Super Deluxe Mind Games Cube is nominated for a Grammy for the new Box set Grammy award? There's even a Grammy for Box sets now, well here's hoping that this new box from George get's a nomination next year....Any how Tone you have a great weekend, enjoy the box set and keep on getting well my friend. All the best Mate!
You're welcome Terry, glad you enjoyed it and happy unboxing day to you too. Annoying about the delay on the LPs but the at least you have the CDs to keep you going which sound absolutely superb. I agree it's a brilliantly put together box and now they have a good format that is not overly expensive that they now whip through the albums and get these boxes out to us. Sunshine Life for me is on my streaming service (Qobuz) but the instrumental version is not. Yes I saw about the grammy nomination which is great. I think the ATMP Uber Deluxe box set won one in 2022. I dont really want to encourage these massively expensive box sets but I hope both the cube and Now and then win in February. Have a great weekend yourself my friend
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Just need to let you know that on Friday I also received my copy of the 2 CD set of John Lennon and Various Artists: Radio Waves, which is basically John's one To One shows in New York which contains the performances of Sha Na Na, Roberta Flack and Stevie Wonder. The performances of them all is superb, but it's the sound quality that has blown me away, well balanced, well mixed and so clear. Which begs the question, that if a small record company can do this, then maybe, just maybe the Lennon Estate could look at remixing/ remastering the Live in New York City album, with the added inclusion of Yoko's performances, as on this release they sound superb. Disc two comprises the tapes of John and Yoko's legendary hosting of the Mike Douglas show back in '72 including performances of Imagine, Woman is... Luck Of The Irish, Give Peace A Chance, and John's duets with Chuck Berry, all sounding amazing. As a bootleg/unofficial release this is well worth getting hold of, and opens up the possibilities of what we could get officially in the future.
Tony, great vid mate! I also, (and I suspect many of us) was screwed by Harrison's website on this shipping business. I guess shelling out hundreds of dollars for unnecessary items, wasn't nearly enough to ensure that our items were shipped in a timely manner. And don't get me wrong, Universal and Paul's website pull the same B.S.. Pre-ordering these items should give us the right to receive them on day of release, instead of, as in some cases (like with Now and Then) a week after the fact. I don't blame the artists, but we know they read these comments and while BMG, Universal, et al are multi-billion dollar businesses, these artists must have some sway and need to make it clear that we mere pawns are getting tired of their b.s. I apologize for being harsh, but these past 10 days or so have been devastating to me (and others) and I was really looking forward to having something new and awesome to distract me, alas not to be this weekend. Cheers mate!
Thanks very much Ricard, glad you enjoyed the video. yes it seems like the failure to deliver on release day is a common one all over the world. Totally agree a pre-release order should guarantee delivery on release day - no excuses. When you talk about the last 10 days, I assume you're taking about the election result . Totally get it mate, it's not just a blow for the US, they will be reverberations all over the world.
@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Tony, indeed I was speaking about the election. And yes, I believe the results of this election will have a profound and long-term effect on not only the US but the rest of the world. I am extremely fearful of the chaos that shall be wrought by this moron and the others like him. I am also saddened that although this Country was far from perfect in its best days, that this Country as it has been known, will not survive this.
Thinking ahead for the future here. 40th anniversary George Harrison CLOUD 9. That is such a great album that I remember I worked in a record store when it came out. It's one of those few albums that I've got a vinyl, i cassette, and CD of so if you're all out there looking for more ideas. I'll take one of those, please dot with associated besides from all regions.
Hi Tone, great video as always and lovely packaging, but I didn't understand a thing, there's no cover for the vinyls?, only inner sleeves? I would like to have the original cover for the vinyls, maybe I didn't get it well. Thanks.
Thanks very much Daniel, glad you enjoyed the video. There is inner sleeves and and outer jacket for the records in the box , I show them in the video but the outer sleeves are not gatefolds like the standalone album. ATMP was similar the box itself is the sleeve I suppose. Some box sets that come with slip cases have the proper album sleeves inside but usually boxes that shut (like this one) that have the contents inside dont
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Hi Tone, thanks a lot, I can't belIeve you found the time to answer all your followers comments. You're right, these boxes doesn't have the standalone gatefold cover. Keep your great work. Best wishes.
I got both versions. Two songs I don't see on either version that were included on the 20th? 30th? Anniversary are Deep Blue & Bangla Desh. I wonder why. You are correct Sunshine Life For Me is only on the Deluxe version. Anyway, that is all. Enjoy your music!
Tone i got my copy via Georges site today so maybe a north south thing as i see it came from Burnley!My question is how small the album sleeves are in the deluxe set you cant get the albums in them!
Oh I haven't tried that yet David. With the All Thing Must pass box I just left the LPs in the poly lined sleeves in the box rather than putting them in the spare inners that came with it. It occurred to me that as both the sleeves provided with LITMW are identical , you would have to take the whole inner out of the sleeve before playing as you wouldnt be able to tell which Lp was which . So im probably going to leave the LPs just in the poly lined sleeves in the box
Red rose speedway had the wings fan club address on the back, I think George was having a bit of fun at the expense of Jim kenlt er , who apparently got some weird fan mail back in the 70s. I ordered mine on Amazon not coming til Tuesday.went into Hmv Plymouth picked up the double vinyl as I couldn't wait til Tuesday.
According to Amazon my deluxe box set is waiting for me when I get home. What happened to the news that Dark Horse did a deal with BMG and George's back catalogue was due to be reissued over a yea ago. Hope they do the same with all the other albums.
Not too long to wait I suppose , but why cant these companies get this stuff out for release day. It's not like they dont know when it is. Sadly a similar story all over the world Ted
why cant these companies get this stuff out for release day. It's not like they dont know when it is. Sadly a similar story all over the world Joe. hope yours comes soon
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel ELAC Vela 409.2 speakers. HDTRACKS files file may be very different than those on your complete box set. And I wish someone would check the compression as the producers seem to be engaged in the Loudness Wars on these files.
I must say I am quite disappointed with this Living In The Material World box set in having only 11 outtakes in all. George recorded so many outtakes of all of these songs and they decided to give us only 11 of them, one outtake for each LP track. They could have given us more of the outtakes than that. I am also disappointed with not getting the Sunshine Life For Me tracks on the CD box set, but I guess they wanted to have something special for those who bought the super deluxe box. I know if you bought the super deluxe box set you might get something more than what you get on the 2 CD set, but I would have loved to get Sunshine Life For Me on this 2 CD set. It would have been nice to have a same sized (7 1/2" x 7 1/2") box like the All Things Must Pass box rather than the smaller 5"x5" box. Oh well.
Sorry you're disappointed Richard. I know everyone is different regarding out-takes . Personally the main thing for me is the remix and the outtakes are just a bonus . It's rare that any out-takes are better than the released version (that's why they're outtakes) although they are interesting to hear so I suspect the thinking they will give the best outtake of each song - a bit like the Beatles did with Anthology. Its a shame Sunshine Life wasnt included on the 2 CD version as it is the deluxe box set - seems a bit pointless as they have had to make 2 different versions of the bonus material CD, but any the same token , if you're paying £130 for a box set you deserve to get something extra . Also a shame that made the Cd box smaller - I didnt know this as I didnt get the Cd box for either album
Hi Tone , I received my living in the material world super deluxe box set & I also received the coloured vinyl of living in the material world . But I’m still waiting for the 50th Anniversary deluxe edition on CD & the 50th Anniversary deluxe edition on 2 vinyl LPs , so I hope they come soon , they should be sent by Royal Mail Track 24 🤞.
Curious. I ordered the same as you but the box set is coming from Amazon. The purple vinyl I only ordered on Tuesday and guess what..... it turned up today. No reference on the stickers that it's coloured vinyl , just that it's a George Harrison store exclusive.
I did this video in 2011 when the Scorcese doc George Harrison: Living In The Material World came out. I chose Be Here Now and compiled some pics I got from the documentary. Enjoy ruclips.net/video/xb4uFy2m96Q/видео.html
You had the box coming in a couple days but you couldn’t wait I or 2 days for it??? So you bought it again because you had to have it today! That’s nutty and expensive
lol but actually it's neither. firstly the box I bought this morning was £11 cheaper than the one I ordered and secondly when the original box arrives, I will be sending it back and getting a refund !
Looks like a great box! It's not really one of my absolute favourite albums from George. I think ATMP and Brainwashed are better. I'll probably get the 2CD version.
Very well presented box Ralph. I agree it's not one of his best , but I think the remix will give a new appreciation for the album. You wont be disappointed with the 2 Cds, they sound fantastic
Lovely box set, Tone, but I'm not a fan of how the Harrison camp forced people to buy a box with the double vinyl just to get the CDs and blu-rays... and made some tracks exclusive to the box. I ended up ordering just the purple vinyl from the GH site the day it was announced. Got an email two days ago saying it was on the way, but the online tracking shows that they only printed the shipping label -- it hasn't shipped at all. But setting aside my quibbles, the tracks I've heard on streaming so far have been phenomenal. I'm hopeful that this remix will bring a new appreciation for an underappreciated album, just as the recent re-release of Mind Games did for that LP.
unfortunately, they skipped “Deep Blue” that was actually my favorite bonus track on earlier edition of LIMW. I guess they were going to put that on “Concert For Bangladesh” remaster reissue??
It's a bit of weird one Derek because Deep Blue hasnt really got a natural home as the B side of Bangla Desh. I guess it's left of this box as it wasnt part of the LITMW sessions. Doesnt really belong on CFBD either as its not a live track
The song doesn’t have a home.. that’s sad. Maybe they need another more in depth compilation album. or maybe an album full of songs that has nowhere to go like for example those 4 songs left off “Somewhere In England”, “Flying Hour”, “Lay His Head” (which made it as a bside to “Got My Mind Set On You”), “Sat Singing” and “ Tears Of The World” (which for some reason was added as a bonus track to “33&1/3rd” CD….
That's a long wait , but why cant these companies get this stuff out for release day. It's not like they dont know when it is. Sadly a similar story all over the world James
The George Harrison "store" is playing games and not promptly shipping my boxed set. Tracking shows that they've never gone any further than printing a shipping label. In the meantime, I found and downloaded the files from a free download site, and I'll "burn" them to CD-R later today. This is a major dissappointment.,especially not getting to hear the 5.1 surround mix
Not too long to wait , but why cant these companies get this stuff out for release day. It's not like they dont know when it is. Sadly a similar story all over Phil
Amazon told to be delivered November 15 th then on the 14 th they changed it to November 29 th ! So I am not the only one around the world dealing with this?
I know that you're a huge George fan Tone and so at this, the fag-end of a tumultuous year for you, I wish you unalloyed pleasure in tasting every morsel of this musical feast! (Let's be honest, you're probably spinning this even as I type😁).
It's a real shame that you can't even receive the music you paid for that was promised to be delivered on the release date I think that as a matter of good customer service any party that can't fulfill this should give you a small discount on the next thing you order and actually get it to you when they claim they will. Sending you an email saying oh gee whiz sorry you're not going to get it on the day we promise you would have it. That's just lousy customer service. It's a standard of modern sales that I sure despise.
Great video Tone. Love the way you show every single page of the book for people who won’t be able to get the big box.
Thanks very much Carl. Glad you enjoyed the video
So due to circumstances beyond my control, I'm just dropping by to say hi and give you a thumbs up for what I'm sure is a good video 🙂My Amazon order has been delayed for a week, so I'll be back to view this video as soon as I get to unbox my own. I ordered the 2 cd set, arriving tomorrow, as a consolation prize.
Thanks for the 'like' Pete . Why are Amazon so useless these days - they used to be brilliant at this stuff. Enjoy the box when it arrives but you wont be disappointed with the CDs they sound brilliant
Another fine and enjoyable opening of George’s box set. Thanks Tone 👍
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed the video
Hi Tone!! Beard Wash 😀😀😀Thanks for sharing the beautiful graphic design of this album!! Thanks for taking the time to respond to viewer comments . . . I'm sure it takes a lot of time and effort! Beatlefan Dan USA
I actually got some Beard wash last year as my secret Santa gift at work, and it is a really nice product..... at first I thought it was a joke, but it actually is quite pleasant.
You're welcome Dan, glad you enjoyed the video. Yes it takes time to respond to everyone but I enjoy the engagement with other fans
@@terrymann1341 Haha. I dont know why but imagined you were clean shaven Terry . I just use shampoo in the shower lol
Great looking box Beatley Tone! Dhani did a great job on this set I listened to it this morning and it sounds excellent and the demos and outtakes and the new video Sail away Raymond sounds great! Great unboxing Tone hope to get mine today. The book looks great happy you got yours today Thanks Tone enjoy your Channel
Thanks very much John , glad you enjoyed the video and channel and agree this has been a great product delivered by the Harrison camp and it all sounds fantastic . Enjoy yours when it arrives
Beautiful unboxing Beatley tone, glad everything worked out and you have on release day! Cheers from the playhouse!
Thanks very much Paul
Hi Tone thank you for sharing. This looks a lovely box set. Enjoy.
Great video Beatley Tone! Thank you for the extra effort to get the box set early by driving to the store ! You rock ! Brad Hill
My pleasure Brad, glad you enjoyed the video
Yes it's a beauty Anne. Thank you
Streamed on Amazon Music in Ultra HD and it sounded fantastic. I always thought this album was muddy and the prior remasters didn’t fix it. I will be purchasing the CD version for sure.
Thanks for the great video Tone.
I received my box set yesterday morning. I'll tell you there is something special about this release. Not only is the care that has been put into this beautiful box set, but what Dhani and Paul Hicks have done to the audio is sublime. I know this album well, yet I have not stopped listening to it all weekend. Even the second outtakes disc is compelling.
Hope you enjoy it too.😮
Couldn’t agree more Dean. Brilliant set. Enjoy it
Nice vlog as always. Happy to see you doing well.
I just got this box yesterday and I picked up the orange vinyl.
What I noticed is that the poster only comes with the double vinyl or double cd set.
Really loving Sunshine Life for Me (Sail Away Raymond). They did a nice video for this track as well.
Hi Tony. Wow, what a mess you had to try and get this album again lol but fantastic. You got to manage to do this well done you. I enjoyed your video. It was fantastic to see this new box set. I’m on holiday right now so my vinyl of this is at home at the neighbors house. They picked it up for me lol gonna be late on this one mate. But I sure enjoyed your video well done as I said, and I hope you have a great rest of the weekendcheers mate
Brilliant Tone, expecting mine on Wednesday
Thanks very much James. Enjoy it when it comes
Cheers Tone
Great to see first look at this so thanks for that. Looking forward to getting my delux copy - been delayed 😡. Sure it will be worth the wait.
Thanks very much Susan . Glad you enjoyed the video. Hope yours tirns up soon
Great video Tone! That Jim Ketner Fan Club thing was a knock on Paul. Paul's Red Rose Speedway had a blurb on the back to join the Wings FUN CLUB stating the send a self-addressed stamped envelope. That's why the Jim Keltner has the Wings logos on either side of his name.
Yes I knew the Wings dig Jeff - it's a decent gag I think.
impressive box very pleased I ordered it now, the book looks fantastic (I think the fruit pieces are from the banquet table, nice touch) , had email an hour or so ago from HMV saying my click and collect is available to collect, will wait till first thing in the morning as do not fancy going back into town today.! Yes I remember stamped addressed envelopes lol! Great video very comprehensive thanks Mark. PS Picked the box up from HMV Colchester this morning and I am really impressed with the quality of this box, pure class !
Sorry Mark , it's taken me a while to get to this. Yes I should have guessed that was the point of the fruit. Glad you've picked up the box now, totally agree the whole package is superb
Great video. I bought the double cd version which should arrive today.
Thank you.❤❤
Thanks very much. Glad you enjoyed the video. You wont be disappointed with the CD, it sounds amazing
Great on the timely review.
Thank you
Hi Tone
Great box.
I'll get mine tomorrow. I had to stay home today. But I heard the remix. It's sounds so clear, really a good job.
Enjoy listening.
Take care
Yes PeKe, the remix is superb - hope yours arrives today. Enjoy my friend
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel
I went to the shop today and I got it. 🙂
my local shop only received 25% of the records ordered concerning GH , so its not the fault of the shops Best Regards from the Netherlands
No it's a problem with BMG
Great video, Tone. Good to see you looking so well. Imagine how great you'd look if you used BEARD WASH!😂
Looking forward to your review and also some of the gubbins coming up on the channel. Good work 👍
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed the video and the channel in general . thanks for the compliment , im trying to imagine the improvement that beard wash could make. I just wash it with shampoo in the shower lol.
I received mine today, I'm going through it now. Sounds great so far, and the packaging is top-notch.
Great stuff. Enjoy Pete
Thank you so much, Tone. Mine should be coming shortly. Can’t wait!!!
You’re welcome Jody. Hope yours arrives soon. Enjoy
Great video Tone. My super deluxe box arrived on Friday from Amazon. New mix sounds great. Looking forward to your review. All the best.
Great news Paul. I agree the remix is excellent. Enjoy
Hiya Tone, great unboxing,I'm still waiting for mine to arrive, had nothing from the site yet, so there will probably be about 1000 videos out on RUclips by the time I get mine Lol, back to your lovely video, this box set looks amazing so can't wait to get my copy, keep up the fantastic work, cheers, Dave
Thanks very much Dave. Glad you enjoyed the video. It’s a brilliant box mate, you wont be disappointed. Hope yours turns up soon
Hi Tone. Thank you for the unboxing. I have ordered this but personal circumstances meant that I had to find a way to delay delivery until 21st November. It did take a little discussion to achieve this through Amazon but they came up trumps in the end, so I will be getting this a little later than many! Probably a bit unique moaning about it arriving on release date and delaying things, but there you go! Looks like a very nice package and it is good to see the recording notes present and correct which I think was only in the crate version of All Things Must Pass. People obviously listened to comments and feedback.
Hi Dave, glad you enjoyed the video. It's an excellent package and the remix is superb. Recording notes are really interesting. Enjoy yours when it arrives next week
Fantastic unboxing Tone. I ordered the deluxe box set off Amazon and, funny old thing, it hasn't arrived yet and no notification of when it will. Looks like a great box though. Looking forward to your full review of the music in due course. Take care.
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed the video . It's a superb package, enjoy yours when it arrives
I would LOVE to hear these early versions of songs from "Dark Horse" and "33 1/2." I am hopeful that their exclusion here portends Paul Hicks remixes and deluxe treatments for those albums, and his entire solo catalog eventually.
I am an outlier in that I LOVE "Dark Horse" and "Extra Texture." They are without a doubt very different George albums, but I have a tendency for fondness towards the Dark Horses (ha ha) in artists' catalogs, like Neil Young's "Trans," and Led Zeppelin's "In Through The Out Door."
I bet "My Love [is like a]" is "Maya Love."
And now I am dead curious to know / hear what "All Over Love," "Boxed Up In A Corner," and "Moonlight (Flight?)" are!!! Never heard of those titles before and they do not suggest themselves as early versions of anything I can remember hearing from our man George.
Well hopefully we will get one of these every year with Dark Horse next. - an album I always loved (deep dive review on the channel). Not so keen on Extra Texture or In through the out Door though.. Ive never heard of those mysterious track titles either
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel I have been fortunate to have Tom Scott and Andy Newmark play on songs of mine. They are such great chaps and I enjoy knowing them (albeit casually). I have yet to ask them for GH stories. I should though.
@@BradRushing You definitely should, both excellent musicians
Enjoy your set, Tone. Mine arrived today. I haven't yet had a chance to listen to it but looking forward to it.
Thanks very much Clare. Glad yours has arrived on time. Enjoy it
Great show 🙌🏻
Thanks very much Debbie
I ordered from the Harrison web site as well Tone and have not had an email as of yet that it has shipped, I live in Texas and the web site says they ship from Austin, Texas. A whole two hours away from me ????? Crazy. So glad you have one on release day. Enjoyed your video, hope you enjoy the music ! Take care.
Hi Sharon, that really is crazy - 2 hours away and they cant deliver on time. it's a similar story all over the world today. I dont understand why they cant get this stuff out on time based on pre-orders. Anyway enjoy your stuff when it arrives . Glad you enjoyed the video. have a great weekend
Great review on litmw boxset tone, for me to expensive I'm going for the two vinyl option, hope they don't run out? Nice book aswell b,f,n, Charles
Thanks again Tone 🙏 and congratulations for the 5000 subscription milestone 🎊
You’re welcome Paul and thank you
Hi Tone
I used What Records to order this for £114.99 plus postage and it arrived at 10.20 this morning. Will certainly use them for future Beatles releases. I have played both vinyl records and really enjoyed it. Also the 7 inch was good too. I particularly enjoyed the outtakes disc, very stripped back. The photos in the book are terrific, really glossy. All in all good value I think. The only slight negative point is that I wish the CDs had individual cases to protect them if you play them in the car. Looking forward to your full review
Regards Andrew
Excellent price, I also heard that Amazon Germany were doing it for around £100 and managed to deliver to the UK on release day believe it or not. Anyway glad you have it Andrew and are enjoying it. It's a superb set. I would also prefer the CDs to be in a cover like the DVD is
Thanks for sharing this with everyone Tone! I am waiting for the set I ordered which should arrive within the next few weeks 😂. Thanks again
Thanks for a great unboxing, Tone! Rumour has it that Amazon Germany's boxed set price is 25 euros or squid CHEAPER than the UK Amazon price. Not sure on speed of delivery, however. Massive thanks for sparing us those annoying adverts, especially as L don't have a beard!
Thanks very much , glad you enjoyed the video. Yes i heard Andrew Dixon say that. He got his from Amazon Germany and it turned up on release day which Amazon UK dont seem to be able to manage which is nuts
Now that is a seriously beautiful production. I am in the middle of writing my first novel and Be Here Now is referred to in the opening pages. Thanks Tone
Hi Peter, good luck with your novel mate. I agree it's a fantastic box
Hi Tone sorry you've had to wait to get the boxset from the website in this day an' age where online shopping is sooooo popular you're right they could make sure it's with the customer on the day, i only buy from my local record shops hmv bluewater and casbah in greenwich. Anyway it is a wonderful boxset, the pictures in the books came across really well, but for me i'll pick up the 2 cd set, congratulations on your 5.000 subs too take care.
Sounds like you're not to far away from me . It's a superb set and you wont be disappointed with the 2CD version, the Cds sound superb. Thanks for the congrats
Great videoTone. Thank you for showing this. Same in the USA, we had to supply a self-addressed stamped envelope.
Thanks very much , glad you enjoyed the video. Yes others have also told me the SAE was the same in the US
I am getting the box set. It is due to arrive today!! Can't wait to enjoy it. Thank you for your wonderful preview.
I did not order the purple vinyl (I don't have a record player and typically do not buy vinyl). But from the little I see it looks so beautiful. So ... maybe I might buy one once I see better photos of it. I did buy the clear "Now And Then" single. That is gorgeous with the Apple label.
Thanks very much Brad , glad you enjoyed the video. I'll be showing the purple vinyl in a video soon as mine has arrived now
Thank you Tone for showing this I don’t receive my super deluxe box set till the 19th I wasn’t sure which one to purchase but the hardcover book did it for me. As it wasn’t cheap to buy $424.29 AUD or £209.00 so I’m very happy that I picked the deluxe one now . And I’m so happy I found this amazing channel . Take Care
£209 that is a lot. Mine cost £114.99, arrived this morning. Are they usually so expensive in Australia?
Thanks very much Stella, really glad that you enjoy the channel. Not to long to wait till yours arrives. Enjoy it - it's superb, but wow that was a big price
Listened to the album today the new mixes are fantastic
They are. im loving them too Ronnie
Great looking set Tone loved the video I ordered super deluxe set also I agree with your comment on what’s up with not getting the box set until a week after it’s released really frustrating have a great weekend
Yes agree it's a brilliant set Jeff. Have a great weekend yourself mate
My super deluxe boxset should arrive in Tasmania by the end of November, along with the limited edition purple vinyl, double CD and tshirt. I do enjoy seeing the unboxing video before I do eventually get my hands on this one. I will definitely purchase every official Darkhorse Records super deluxe edition reissue of George Harrison's solo albums.
Wow that's a long wait but I hope you enjoy yours when it arrives . Glad you enjoyed the video - thank you
Here in the US Amazon is delivering this on release day, while the artists official websites (Beatles group and individual member's sites) are always late.
My experience as well.
Glad you got on time. It seems that some have but most havent. Enjoy it
Thanks for sharing
Seems to common issue delayed delivery from official sites.
At least Record stores seem to have them ready on the day.
Look forward to next video
You're welcome. Yes records stores do seem to have them in stock on release day but in very small quantities - my HMV only had one and I grabbed it
When I ordered my ticket for the 1974 George Harrison concert I had to include a Self Addressed Stamped Elephant. Nice overview of the new set since I'll just be streaming it. Instead my money went toward the giant Who's Next box which I got for almost half price.
Thanks very much Stephen and enjoy the Who's next box - I got the 4 Lp version
Wonderful, wonderful review or should I say unboxing 😅 does look amazing but sadly won't be getting the deluxe box set. Instead I will be getting the two CD version but wait for it.....not until Christmas as it is a Christmas present from one of my friends. I am trying not to listen to anything as it is appearing on RUclips now as I want to listen to it all in one go on Christmas day. I will still be watching your reviews of the album and outtakes though as that is not the same as listening to it ( my excuse) 😅😅 thank you again Tone, will be watching out for the next episode. Take care
Thanks very much Maurice, glad you enjoyed the video. That seems like a long time to wait but I expect it will pass quickly. You wont be disappointed with the CDs - they sound amazing
I also meant to say I admire you for not springing for that full mono Capital box set. It's not worth spending all that extra money for a two LP interview disc that has been shunned by the record label for over half a century just to get a hard bound book.so thanks for that as well.
There's n to even a book included. I have had The Beatles Story since 1976, played it twice. I dont think I need it again so no box set for me
Thanks Tone. Looks like a lovely box set and book, but I’ll probably be getting the 2 CD version to save some money.
You wont be disappointed Anders, the CD sounds amazing
@ Disappointed to hear that Sunshine Life for Me is not included. George’s version is almost as good as Ringo’s.
@@andersbackstrom Yes it was an odd decision because it meant they had to make 2 versions of the Extras Cd as the one in the box set includes Sunshine. I guess the thinking is if someone is spending a fortune on a box set they derisive something extra
You look to be in very great shape. It's what is most important. Great video, anyway !
Thanks very much Laurent
The whole "Jim Keltner Fan Club" thing is the mocking of an almost identical message (Excluding the undressed stamped elephant, of course) for Wings Fun Club put on Red Rose Speedway, exactly, as on Living In The Material World, on the bottom end of the rear cover.
As you can see, Jim Keltner's name is written between two Wings, in the style of Paul's band.
Another amicable and lighthearted dig at Paul after his old Liverpool telephone number publicly dictated by George at the end of Miss O'Dell
Yes I know the origins - it even has the wings logo on it. A good gag.
Curiouser and curiouser.... got my coloured vinyl an hour or so ago and just got an email saying it's been despatched ...looked at the tracker and apparently they have it and it's being delivered tomorrow. Only ordered 1 and I have it...perhaps they are feeling generous and sending me 2😂😂
Hope so. You can sell the spare and then you've got an album for free. Weird one though. Enjoy Peter
We had the Stamped, Addressed Envelope thing in the U.S. as well. I remember clearly.
Thanks for the info Brad
Yes, it was sometimes called a "SASE" for Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope.
@@john-p3n2x Yes! I remember that.
Hi Tone, great unboxing video. You are correct unboxiing seems to have been created on here. I just rip things open 😂
I love the mix of vinyl, DVD, CD, book and collectable items. Dhani has done a fantastic job, I hope he gets a Grammy nod for this.
This is how all deluxe box sets should be, I hope Dhani keeps this going for all of George's albums. Hopefully we get one every year, if not more frequently.
My box set arrived today, it sounds amazing. Loved it. Such an improvement on the original release. Still waiting for my coloured vinyl to arrive!
You will enjoy listening to the box set Tone.
Enjoyed the video mate 🎉
Thanks very much Rich, glad you enjoyed the video. Yep it's just opening things and it weird I get move nervous about doing unboxing videos (which should be easy) because you only get one crack at it - once it's open , its open and you cant go back 😎. Dhani has definitely done a great job with this and as I said in the video, I wish all box sets could have everything in one box . I still think the lennon boxes are best as far as music content goes but this is really great and the remix is superb and I also hope we now get all the rest of Geroge's albums done like this but without the 3 year gap between each one. Glad you've got your box and enjoying it. My Purple vinyl arrived today so will get a 'opening up stuff' video for this on Monday.
@beatleytonesbeatleschannel my purple vinyl arrived this am. I love the detail with the booklet, anti static sleeve and the repo inner sleeve. Dhani is doing his Dad proud. I am with you, let hope we get at least one each year. If they take too long I might not be able to hear them 🤣
Hi Tone…great vid..did you know that the Jim keltner fan club message on the back of the album was a direct piss take of the wings fun club one on the back of red rose speedway which came out just before material world in 1973…a lot of people missed that gag…keep up the good work..
Yes I knew about the Wings thing - it even has the Wings logo lol. Glad you enjoyed the video my friend
No Sunshine Life at all on my 2CD version Tone.I was surprised it was in my mailbox this morn though and it sounds great on my 90's Technics stack system. Thanks for showing the big box mate because i only ever get the 2 CD boxes with solo stuff {and sometimes the standard vinyl} and save the big bucks up for big super deluxe vinyl Beatles boxes.Cheers Brother Tone
Yes Ive heard about the No Sunshine thing now from other viewers Craig. Disappointing. But agree the Cds sound fantastic . Enjoy my friend
Hi Tone. Great Review have not got a record player but would love the 5.1 blu-ray .
@@peterbailey978 yes its only available in the box set Peter, so thats a big outlay to get the blu-ray if you dont need the vinyl.
Thanks Tone. I have ordered deluxe set plus all the other versions. A SHM CD has not yet been released in Japan. I expect one will be released in future.
You're welcome Peter. Enjoy your stuff when it arrives
I am a wombat. I ordered the super deluxe thinking it was just CDs and also ordered the Purple vinyl to have it on vinyl. I didn't realize you get a black vinyl in the super deluxe. Duh!!! Not sure when I am gonna get any of it tho as I ordered it from the official store here in the US and they never deliver on release day which is really annoying. But hopefully will have it in my hands this week! I also ordered a mug and a t-shirt in the hope that one day I will be thin enough to actually wear it. Dream on.
You bloody wombat ! Im telling you off now Nicholas, because if you'd watched my LITMW announcement video , I explained exactly was in each set . Still you ended up ordering the same as me . Im still waiting for my purple. Mrs BT also ordered a t-shirt. Enjoy all your swag when it arrives
@ I did watch and I still screwed it up!
@@nicksyrett 😂😂 What a wombat ! (love that word)
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Do you know if this was recorded at Saville Row? It says Apple Studios so I would think that is what it means. I know I am wrong but I always thought Let It Be was the only think recorded there, but I guess all the non-beatle apple releases were too? Any other solo beatles albums recorded there? I've never seen anything that clearly lays out the apple studios discography - maybe a future video?
Hi Tone, the package looks terrific. My copy has been dispatched apparently but as usual I don’t expect to see it for a couple of weeks - despite paying outrageous postage costs. I agree with you, I’m not sure why they can’t ship these items allowing for the lead time they know is required for them to reach their destination on time?
Anyway, I am currently on holiday in New Zealand so have had lots of time to listen to it on Spotify and the remix sounds fantastic. The overall listening experience has been improved immensely.
Good to see you looking so well. Have a great weekend.
Hi Jase, I do feel for all you guys in Oz, everything takes so long to get to you despite it only taking a day to get from here to there . I spent 3 weeks in NZ in 2013 - amazing place so have a great holiday. Have a great time and hopefully your stuff will be at home when you get back.
Hi Tone… at home now listening to cd 1 of my box set .. and what a great set it is .. will read through the book over the weekend…
Sound fantastic and looks fantastic…. The only thing l would like to have seen in the box is the poster from the standalone vinyl release… oh and maybe a posh ribbon to help get the contents out … neither is a deal breaker..
Enjoy your set …and only 5000.. me thinks it will sell out….
Yes I totally agree with your minor gripes Dean, but wow doesnt the album sound fantastic ! Its still available to buy in the UK but sold out in the US
Hi Tone & again great to see you looking well & as for LITMW i've never made any secret it's never been a favorite of mine & i have listened to it a few times on Spotify & i does sound better & cleaner but it's the Godley lyrics that i dislike.... Always love the track Miss O'Dell & a great mix here but i'm very surprised one of George's greatest early songs the stunning Deep Blue isn't included here at all !!! A great video as always good man.
I pre-ordered on the 8th of November with Amazon au and its said sold out for the last couple of weeks. They said they will make it a priority and I should receive sometime this month.
So ATM I watch you with jealousy.
@@martintaylor769 Hope it arrives soon Martin
Thanks very much Stevie. I think this album will go up in people's estimation due to the remix as it's absolutely stunning. I cant remember where I ranked this when I did a George's album video but there are certainly George albums that I prefer. I assume that Deep Blue isnt here because it wasnt part of the LITMW sessions - it was 2 years old by the time this album was made but it's an odd one because as the Bangla Desh single and it's B side where standalone, they dont really have a natural home on any album
Thanks for the overview BT. Set looks very nice indeed. Know what you mean about amazon, I ordered it weeks ago and its not coming till Tuesday. However, if i order today...Friday...it will arrive tomorrow...eh ? Anyway Im going for 2 cd set with 2 x lp for Christmas from Mrs. Looking forward to watching your review.
Not too long to wait then Jim, but that's weird that you can order today and get it tomorrow. But why cant these companies get this stuff out for release day. It's not like they dont know when it is. Sadly a similar story all over the world. You wont be disappointed with the 2 Cd set though, it sounds amazing
Spot on re Amazon. They’re notorious these days for not delivering on release day… same for 4K HD Steelbooks etc. too. I never got my Band on the Run or One Hand Clapping despite pre-ordering from them when announced. Should be getting George CDs today from them but it’ll probably be next week, if at all. Album boxset looks good but I weakened and ordered Beatles 64 albums boxset instead. I know I said I wasn’t going to as have them on CD but I was sucked in by the hype. Enjoy all your new demos etc and see you for your review when you’re ready. All the best, Andy
Same story all over Andy. Ive given up on Amazon for stuff I have to have on release day because I n o longer trust them but less important stuff I still use them. Well enjoy the US albums next week and the GH CDs whenever they arrive (CDs sound fantastic )
Wow tony. You're not going to have any money at this rate! I think it's really Keen that you're so dedicated to your channel for the point where you buy another copy of something that you already paid for that you don't have on the day you said you would review it! That makes you a pretty stand-up fella. And gosh I thank you for it. My question is what are you going to do with the other 11 copies of it that you ordered and haven't received yet. Haha. Thank you seriously.
Hi there Tone and thank you so much for this vid and a very happy Unboxing day! I haven't ordered the Box set, just the 2 CD set and the 2 LP set. My Cd's arrived earlier while I was at work, but I did have a very nice and apologetic email about my 2 LP set. The site I've ordered it from have had a delay in delivery from Universal, so it looks like I won't be getting it until later next week, but when it arrives I will be getting it mailed out via registered 24 hr mail , so all is good on that front. The Box set looks beautiful, the George Harrison estate really have surpassed themselves with this release, maybe this is the way forward for all future box sets. I for one would be in favour of a box containing both vinyl and CD's, as I collect both, and always buy both iterations of an album where I can. One question. The single included with the box set, is this available to stream or download at all? Because on my 2 CD set it's not on there. On another note though box set related, are you aware that the Super Deluxe Mind Games Cube is nominated for a Grammy for the new Box set Grammy award? There's even a Grammy for Box sets now, well here's hoping that this new box from George get's a nomination next year....Any how Tone you have a great weekend, enjoy the box set and keep on getting well my friend. All the best Mate!
You're welcome Terry, glad you enjoyed it and happy unboxing day to you too. Annoying about the delay on the LPs but the at least you have the CDs to keep you going which sound absolutely superb. I agree it's a brilliantly put together box and now they have a good format that is not overly expensive that they now whip through the albums and get these boxes out to us. Sunshine Life for me is on my streaming service (Qobuz) but the instrumental version is not. Yes I saw about the grammy nomination which is great. I think the ATMP Uber Deluxe box set won one in 2022. I dont really want to encourage these massively expensive box sets but I hope both the cube and Now and then win in February. Have a great weekend yourself my friend
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Just need to let you know that on Friday I also received my copy of the 2 CD set of John Lennon and Various Artists: Radio Waves, which is basically John's one To One shows in New York which contains the performances of Sha Na Na, Roberta Flack and Stevie Wonder. The performances of them all is superb, but it's the sound quality that has blown me away, well balanced, well mixed and so clear. Which begs the question, that if a small record company can do this, then maybe, just maybe the Lennon Estate could look at remixing/ remastering the Live in New York City album, with the added inclusion of Yoko's performances, as on this release they sound superb. Disc two comprises the tapes of John and Yoko's legendary hosting of the Mike Douglas show back in '72 including performances of Imagine, Woman is... Luck Of The Irish, Give Peace A Chance, and John's duets with Chuck Berry, all sounding amazing. As a bootleg/unofficial release this is well worth getting hold of, and opens up the possibilities of what we could get officially in the future.
Excellent. Mine does not come in till tomorrow as well.What can you do? Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Enjoy the album when it arrives
Tony, great vid mate! I also, (and I suspect many of us) was screwed by Harrison's website on this shipping business. I guess shelling out hundreds of dollars for unnecessary items, wasn't nearly enough to ensure that our items were shipped in a timely manner. And don't get me wrong, Universal and Paul's website pull the same B.S.. Pre-ordering these items should give us the right to receive them on day of release, instead of, as in some cases (like with Now and Then) a week after the fact. I don't blame the artists, but we know they read these comments and while BMG, Universal, et al are multi-billion dollar businesses, these artists must have some sway and need to make it clear that we mere pawns are getting tired of their b.s. I apologize for being harsh, but these past 10 days or so have been devastating to me (and others) and I was really looking forward to having something new and awesome to distract me, alas not to be this weekend. Cheers mate!
Thanks very much Ricard, glad you enjoyed the video. yes it seems like the failure to deliver on release day is a common one all over the world. Totally agree a pre-release order should guarantee delivery on release day - no excuses. When you talk about the last 10 days, I assume you're taking about the election result . Totally get it mate, it's not just a blow for the US, they will be reverberations all over the world.
@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Tony, indeed I was speaking about the election. And yes, I believe the results of this election will have a profound and long-term effect on not only the US but the rest of the world. I am extremely fearful of the chaos that shall be wrought by this moron and the others like him. I am also saddened that although this Country was far from perfect in its best days, that this Country as it has been known, will not survive this.
Thinking ahead for the future here. 40th anniversary George Harrison CLOUD 9.
That is such a great album that I remember I worked in a record store when it came out. It's one of those few albums that I've got a vinyl, i cassette, and CD of so if you're all out there looking for more ideas. I'll take one of those, please dot with associated besides from all regions.
Cloud 9 is great album and maybe they will go that in 2027 as there wasnt a George album in 1977 to anniversary up
Hi Tone, great video as always and lovely packaging, but I didn't understand a thing, there's no cover for the vinyls?, only inner sleeves? I would like to have the original cover for the vinyls, maybe I didn't get it well. Thanks.
Thanks very much Daniel, glad you enjoyed the video. There is inner sleeves and and outer jacket for the records in the box , I show them in the video but the outer sleeves are not gatefolds like the standalone album. ATMP was similar the box itself is the sleeve I suppose. Some box sets that come with slip cases have the proper album sleeves inside but usually boxes that shut (like this one) that have the contents inside dont
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Hi Tone, thanks a lot, I can't belIeve you found the time to answer all your followers comments. You're right, these boxes doesn't have the standalone gatefold cover. Keep your great work. Best wishes.
I got both versions. Two songs I don't see on either version that were included on the 20th? 30th? Anniversary are Deep Blue & Bangla Desh. I wonder why. You are correct Sunshine Life For Me is only on the Deluxe version. Anyway, that is all. Enjoy your music!
Bangla Desh and Deep Blue weren't part of the LITMW sessions so I guess that's why they're not here. Those two songs dont really have a natural home
Tone i got my copy via Georges site today so maybe a north south thing as i see it came from Burnley!My question is how small the album sleeves are in the deluxe set you cant get the albums in them!
Oh I haven't tried that yet David. With the All Thing Must pass box I just left the LPs in the poly lined sleeves in the box rather than putting them in the spare inners that came with it. It occurred to me that as both the sleeves provided with LITMW are identical , you would have to take the whole inner out of the sleeve before playing as you wouldnt be able to tell which Lp was which . So im probably going to leave the LPs just in the poly lined sleeves in the box
Let's just mix those two labels up and call them dapple? Right, sure.
Red rose speedway had the wings fan club address on the back, I think George was having a bit of fun at the expense of Jim kenlt er , who apparently got some weird fan mail back in the 70s. I ordered mine on Amazon not coming til Tuesday.went into Hmv Plymouth picked up the double vinyl as I couldn't wait til Tuesday.
Yes I know about the Wings thing Paul - it's a good gag. The delay seems the same story all over the world. Sounds like you had a similar day to me
According to Amazon my deluxe box set is waiting for me when I get home. What happened to the news that Dark Horse did a deal with BMG and George's back catalogue was due to be reissued over a yea ago. Hope they do the same with all the other albums.
Still waiting for my box. How long that will be who knows? Good video to give us a peek.
Thanks very much Patricia, glad you enjoyed the video. I hope your box arrives soon and you enjoy it
Hi Tone, Enjoy! I got deluxe set and purple. Probably won’t receive it till Tuesday so disappointing. I see deluxe is sold out. Ted
Not too long to wait I suppose , but why cant these companies get this stuff out for release day. It's not like they dont know when it is. Sadly a similar story all over the world Ted
Mine hasn't even shipped yet (?!).
why cant these companies get this stuff out for release day. It's not like they dont know when it is. Sadly a similar story all over the world Joe. hope yours comes soon
I got the HDTRACKS 24-44.1 files: there is more resolution than on the CD/DVD box set but the bass is cranked too high.
really ? What are you playing it on?
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel ELAC Vela 409.2 speakers. HDTRACKS files file may be very different than those on your complete box set. And I wish someone would check the compression as the producers seem to be engaged in the Loudness Wars on these files.
Yep… mines coming tomorrow 🙄
The remix sounds great though!
Similar story all over Paul. Yes remix is a belter. Sounds amazing
I must say I am quite disappointed with this Living In The Material World box set in having only 11 outtakes in all. George recorded so many outtakes of all of these songs and they decided to give us only 11 of them, one outtake for each LP track. They could have given us more of the outtakes than that. I am also disappointed with not getting the Sunshine Life For Me tracks on the CD box set, but I guess they wanted to have something special for those who bought the super deluxe box. I know if you bought the super deluxe box set you might get something more than what you get on the 2 CD set, but I would have loved to get Sunshine Life For Me on this 2 CD set. It would have been nice to have a same sized (7 1/2" x 7 1/2") box like the All Things Must Pass box rather than the smaller 5"x5" box. Oh well.
Sorry you're disappointed Richard. I know everyone is different regarding out-takes . Personally the main thing for me is the remix and the outtakes are just a bonus . It's rare that any out-takes are better than the released version (that's why they're outtakes) although they are interesting to hear so I suspect the thinking they will give the best outtake of each song - a bit like the Beatles did with Anthology. Its a shame Sunshine Life wasnt included on the 2 CD version as it is the deluxe box set - seems a bit pointless as they have had to make 2 different versions of the bonus material CD, but any the same token , if you're paying £130 for a box set you deserve to get something extra . Also a shame that made the Cd box smaller - I didnt know this as I didnt get the Cd box for either album
Hi Tone , I received my living in the material world super deluxe box set & I also received the coloured vinyl of living in the material world . But I’m still waiting for the 50th Anniversary deluxe edition on CD & the 50th Anniversary deluxe edition on 2 vinyl LPs , so I hope they come soon , they should be sent by Royal Mail Track 24 🤞.
Well at least you have all the music already John. Hope the rest of the stuff arrives soon
Curious. I ordered the same as you but the box set is coming from Amazon. The purple vinyl I only ordered on Tuesday and guess what..... it turned up today. No reference on the stickers that it's coloured vinyl , just that it's a George Harrison store exclusive.
Well enjoy it Peter - odd the sticker doesnt give the full details though
Just go my deluxe box. The double vinyl has a large double sided poster which i haven't got in the the cd/ vinyl box.
Yes I remember that was included from when i did tge announcement video. There’s a small version in the 2 CD version. Odd that its not in the deluxe
I did this video in 2011 when the Scorcese doc George Harrison: Living In The Material World came out. I chose Be Here Now and compiled some pics I got from the documentary. Enjoy ruclips.net/video/xb4uFy2m96Q/видео.html
You had the box coming in a couple days but you couldn’t wait I or 2 days for it??? So you bought it again because you had to have it today! That’s nutty and expensive
lol but actually it's neither. firstly the box I bought this morning was £11 cheaper than the one I ordered and secondly when the original box arrives, I will be sending it back and getting a refund !
Looks like a great box! It's not really one of my absolute favourite albums from George. I think ATMP and Brainwashed are better. I'll probably get the 2CD version.
Very well presented box Ralph. I agree it's not one of his best , but I think the remix will give a new appreciation for the album. You wont be disappointed with the 2 Cds, they sound fantastic
CD quality is 44.1 KHz, 16 bit. 192KHz, 24 bit is substantially higher sampling rate and resolution.
Lovely box set, Tone, but I'm not a fan of how the Harrison camp forced people to buy a box with the double vinyl just to get the CDs and blu-rays... and made some tracks exclusive to the box. I ended up ordering just the purple vinyl from the GH site the day it was announced. Got an email two days ago saying it was on the way, but the online tracking shows that they only printed the shipping label -- it hasn't shipped at all.
But setting aside my quibbles, the tracks I've heard on streaming so far have been phenomenal. I'm hopeful that this remix will bring a new appreciation for an underappreciated album, just as the recent re-release of Mind Games did for that LP.
unfortunately, they skipped “Deep Blue” that was actually my favorite bonus track on earlier edition of LIMW. I guess they were going to put that on “Concert For Bangladesh” remaster reissue??
It's a bit of weird one Derek because Deep Blue hasnt really got a natural home as the B side of Bangla Desh. I guess it's left of this box as it wasnt part of the LITMW sessions. Doesnt really belong on CFBD either as its not a live track
The song doesn’t have a home.. that’s sad. Maybe they need another more in depth compilation album. or maybe an album full of songs that has nowhere to go like for example those 4 songs left off “Somewhere In England”, “Flying Hour”, “Lay His Head” (which made it as a bside to “Got My Mind Set On You”), “Sat Singing” and “ Tears Of The World” (which for some reason was added as a bonus track to “33&1/3rd” CD….
I am still waiting for mine they now tell me from Amazon that mine will not come till November 29 th ! I am so disappointed! I do have Apple download.
That's a long wait , but why cant these companies get this stuff out for release day. It's not like they dont know when it is. Sadly a similar story all over the world James
Thanks Tone, what are you doing with your extra copy of the box set?
Going to send it back . Unbelievably the HMV box was £11 cheaper as an added bonus. Unusal as HMV is usually very expensive
@ was it £129?
@ yes
Mine can this morning with Royal Mail. Remix is stunning, love the spot varnishing on the pictures in the book
@@richardalvien346 Yes its superb set Richard but more of that in my review. Glad yours has shown up now , as has mine
Unless it's a hidden track, Sunshine Life For Me, isn't on the 2 CD set
Looks like its not there
"Sunshine Life For Me" is not on the CD of the 2CD Deluxe Boxset. So if we want this track, we must buy the big Boxset. It's not fair Dhani !
Oh that’s really disappointing to hear
it’s on Spotify though….
Yes but I prefer to have bonus tracks on CD. Maybe I'm gonna return this poor little (Deluxe ?) CD box and buy the big Boxset.
@@baronsaturday951 Yes its the only way to get all the music
The George Harrison "store" is playing games and not promptly shipping my boxed set. Tracking shows that they've never gone any further than printing a shipping label. In the meantime, I found and downloaded the files from a free download site, and I'll "burn" them to CD-R later today. This is a major dissappointment.,especially not getting to hear the 5.1 surround mix
Similar story all round for many. hope yours turns up soon
Amazon Canada sent me an e mail , will be delivered next Tuesday….
Not too long to wait , but why cant these companies get this stuff out for release day. It's not like they dont know when it is. Sadly a similar story all over Phil
Amazon told to be delivered November 15 th then on the 14 th they changed it to November 29 th ! So I am not the only one around the world dealing with this?
I know that you're a huge George fan Tone and so at this, the fag-end of a tumultuous year for you, I wish you unalloyed pleasure in tasting every morsel of this musical feast! (Let's be honest, you're probably spinning this even as I type😁).
I think I was Rob - ooh it's bloody lovely. Thank you my friend
It's a real shame that you can't even receive the music you paid for that was promised to be delivered on the release date I think that as a matter of good customer service any party that can't fulfill this should give you a small discount on the next thing you order and actually get it to you when they claim they will. Sending you an email saying oh gee whiz sorry you're not going to get it on the day we promise you would have it. That's just lousy customer service. It's a standard of modern sales that I sure despise.
Couldn't agree more
I am confident the fruit on the white background amidst the lyrics is meant to represent the feast table from the gatefold photograph.
Yes of course you’re right Brad. That didnt occur to me. Great shout mate
Mine just arrived moments ago.
Hoorah. Enjoy Andy. Which one did you get? Remix is fantastic
