George Harrison’s Living In The Material World will be reissued across a variety of formats to mark its 50th anniversary later this year.

The late Beatle's fourth studio album has been completely remixed from the original tapes by Paul Hicks and produced by Olivia and Dhani Harrison. It’ll be released on November 15 through Dark Horse Records/BMG on LP, 2LP, CD, 2CD, coloured vinyl and as a Super Deluxe box set, which will include a Blu-ray featuring the tracks in Dolby Atmos, hi-res 5.1 surround sound and stereo mixes.

Along with the original 1973 album, the new edition will also contains studio outtakes, alternative versions and acoustic tracks - and you can listen to Take 18 of Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth) below.

The Super Deluxe package is limited to 5000 units worldwide and, along with the Blu-ray, will also contain Living In The Material World on heavyweight double vinyl and 2CDs, with 12 previously unreleased early versions of every track on the record.

A 7-inch single will also contain the previously unreleased track Sunshine Life For Me (Sail Away Raymond) featuring Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Rick Danko from The Band alongside Harrison's Beatles bandmate Ringo Starr. This edition will also have a 60-page hardback book curated by Harrison’s widow Olivia and Rachel Cooper and feature a range of memorabilia alongside recording notes.

Olivia says: “I hope you revisit Living In The Material World or discover it for the first time, and as you listen, share George’s wish for himself and mankind. Give me love, give me peace on earth.”

Dhani Harrison adds: "Finally, we are overjoyed to present to you the 50th anniversary package of George Harrison's Living In The Material World. For those of you who are just discovering this album; This record was released in service and with deep love for all our brothers and sisters around the world who populate this dualistic system we live in called Earth. Peace be upon all sentient beings.”
