    LIVING IN THE MATERIAL WORLD
    OUT ON DVD AND BLU-RAY ON MAY 1

    Martin Scorsese‘s George Harrison: Living In The Material World, which premiered on HBO last October, is getting a proper release on May 1. Universal Music Enterprises will be releasing the film on DVD, Blu-ray, and a Deluxe Edition that will include the DVD, Blu-ray, special packaging and a 96-page book of photography to accompany the film.

    The film focuses the imaginative and inspired eye of one of cinema’s most pre-eminent filmmakers on one of the world’s most influential musicians. The film takes viewers on the musical and spiritual voyage that was Harrison’s life, much of it told in his own words. The result is deeply moving and touches each viewer in unique and individual ways.

    There is also an exclusive 10-track album called Early Takes Vollume 1 on CD and LP featuring previously unreleased music from George Harrison coming on May 1. The album is a pivotal companion piece to the documentary and features previously unreleased recordings from Harrison.
