Liner Notes: The genaral consensus in 1973 was that George
still had his act together more then any of the others. Given surprise triumphs
of "All things must pass" and the magnanimous "Bangla Desh Concert", album
and film which were fresh in the public´s mind, a receptive audience
was guaranteed for "Living in the material world".
The album, whose titles was originally announced as "The magic is here again" was lavishly packaged color representation of Hindu scriptures decorated with Sanskrit smybols, while the lyrics repeatdly hammered home the message tht the best way to insure a better deal for yourself in the next life is to keep your mind focused on God in this one. Just about the only secular not on the rcord was struck by "Sue me Sue You blues", a commentary on the Beatles legal squabbles, complete with the sort of vicious slide guitar work George had provided for John´s "How do you sleep" With one exception, Harrison handled "Material World´s" big production job by himself. As on "All things must pass", great blocks of strings, horns and overdubbed guitar were piled onto one another to bring Harrison´s somewhat dirge-like hyms to appropriately trancendent heights. |
