George Harrison's Apple Years Boxset Is Released Today


George Harrison's new boxset is released today.
It includes all studio albums that Harrison relased between 1968 and 1975 when he was still committed with Apple Records.
All of the albums were remastered and there is a lot of extra tracks being added to the albums.
All of the CDs will also be released separately excluding the bonus DVD, which only is available as part of the boxset.
After the Beatles back catalogue being revised and, more recently, McCartney's and Lennon's most successful albums bring remastered it was (finally) for George's turn. Actually, he was really needing a edition like this, some of his albums were last time released back in 1992.
All albums have been remastered by Gavin Lurssen, Reuben Cohen and Paul Hicks at Lurssen Mastering.
Don't forget that this week is also George Harrison week in Conan O'Brien (a huge fan) show, which will include performances of Beck, Norah Jones and Dhani Harrison.
