Album Credits:“What we need isn’t material, it’s spiritual. We need some other form of peace and happiness.” – George Harrison (1967)In May 1973 came the release of George’s second studio album of new songs, Living In The Material World. He was joined in the studio by several musician friends who had also played on and others like Jim Keltner, with whom he had worked during concerts in 1971. The album and its lead single, “Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)” both reached number one in America and on charts around the world. The spiritual nature of Living In The Material World, described by Rolling Stone as “miraculous in its radiance,” is also reflected in the inclusion of an illustration from the Bhagavad-Gita in the artwork.

No thread for this album, the follow-up to ', and there should be as its a fine collection.Highlights for myself are the first three tracks.' Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)' - some of George's best slide guitar work and a US #1.' Sue Me, Sue You Blues' - a funky sounding track with some great lines highlighting George's humour and feelings such as'You serve me,And I'll serve youSwing your partners, all get screwed.Bring your lawyerAnd I'll bring mineGet together, and we could have a bad time'The is fabulous as well.' Living In the Material World' - Love George's address to those who were bitching that George was no longer 'Beatle George'. The piano and guitar instrumental section is beautiful, one of my favourites of any record. The emptiness of the demo works so well, gives it a bit of a different feel.The great bonus with the 2014 remaster is the inclusion of 'Deep Blue', 'Miss O'Dell' and 'Bangladesh'; all highlights of George's solo career.

Took me a while to get into 'Bangladesh' as its not that catchy but now I find it to be fantastic. The urgency and plea throughout the recording makes the cause and need for action blatant. Would rather listen to it than the patronising 'Do They Know It's Christmas'.

The emptiness of the demo works so well, gives it a bit of a different feel.I'll join several others in echoing your sentiments - those songs are my favorites off a great album as well (It's my 2nd favorite George album). Only my copy has Living in the Material World as the 6th song:pOn Give Me Love., I'd be interested in hearing what people think the line 'keep me free from birth' means. I figure is it's some reference to either original sin or the trauma that birth is supposed to be (the concept gained popularity in the 70s and now we have home births, underwater births, doulas, etc). That is, the natural birth movement gained ground in the 'first world' where hospital births with heavily sedated mothers had become the norm - of course in more primitive areas childbirth has always been pretty 'natural.'

According to my sources (George himself), it's referring to karma- the cycle of rebirth. 'Look out, kid, it's something you did' as George put it.

Silly Girl saidAccording to my sources (George himself), it's referring to karma- the cycle of rebirth. 'Look out, kid, it's something you did' as George put it.Or as Bob Dylan originally put it 😉 'Look out kid, it's something you did/ knows when but you're doing it again'- and now I've got 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' stuck in my headYep it's really all about the concept of reincarnation- it's tedious to be begotten, born and die and Hindus want to escape that seemingly endless cycle by becoming as good a person as they can be so they can become one with Brahma or the creator of the known-universe.
