George Harrison – ré-édition de son catalogue : un communiqué de presse

HOLLYWOOD–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Feb. 23, 2004–On Feb. 8, 2004, George Harrison was twice honored at the 46th Annual Grammy Awards — once for « Best Pop Instrumental Performance » for « Marwa Blues, » from his last record, « Brainwashed, » and again as a member of the Beatles, who were honored with the Presidents Award commemorating their first appearance on « The Ed Sullivan Show.

Feb. 24, 2004 (a day before George’s birthday), will see Capitol Records release the newly acquired George Harrison Dark Horse catalogue, featuring six albums which have been unavailable for years. This long awaited catalogue will also be offered in a brand new deluxe box set, including a stunning and extensive booklet featuring unseen photographs, illustrations, press clippings and liner notes by David Fricke, as well as an exclusive 75-minute DVD including seven fully restored music videos.

« George had lots of work lined up in 1999, but his priority was to reissue his entire catalog, » Olivia Harrison explains. « He began that process by the remastering of `All Things Must Pass’ in 2000. The Dark Horse Years were to follow. These songs are especially dear to me because they chronicle events in our life together … If you want to know what George was doing those years, just listen to his music. »

Finally, this March 15, 2004, George’s brilliant career and amazing body of work will again be honored when he’s inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The ceremony will take place in New York and be televised on VH1 Sunday, March 21, at 8 p.m. and 10 p.m.
