All Things Must Pass

George Harrison's first album after the Beatles' breakup is a landmark shining brightly in rock history, unleashing all at once the frustration and songs he had been holding back. All 23 tracks include "I'd Have You Anytime," co-written with Bob Dylan and featuring a superb solo from Eric Clapton, the UK and US No. 1 hit "My Sweet Lord," and jam sessions featuring an all-star cast.

Released in 1970. Newly remastered for 2026 from 192kHz/24bit files freshly transferred from the UK original master tapes. 2 SHM-CDs. Type A double cardboard sleeve jacket. Comes with newly written liner notes (Kunihiko Fujimoto), lyrics, and Japanese translations.

Living in the Material World

Riding the momentum of the hugely successful 1971 Concert for Bangladesh, this fourth solo album became a huge hit, topping the US charts for five consecutive weeks. A masterpiece showcasing George's singular melodic sense throughout, from weighty ballads reflecting his faith at the time to earthy blues and breezy rock and roll, led by the opening signature track "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)."

Released in 1973. Newly remastered for 2026 from 192kHz/24bit files freshly transferred from the UK original master tapes. SHM-CD. Type A double cardboard sleeve jacket. Comes with newly written liner notes (Kunihiko Fujimoto), lyrics, and Japanese translations.

Dark Horse

George Harrison's fifth album, released during the only US tour of his career. His hoarse, raspy vocals give the record a unique flavor all its own, and it is packed with fine songs, including the title track (also released as a single), the catchy "Ding Dong, Ding Dong," "Far East Man" (co-written with Ron Wood), and "So Sad," which he wrote for Alvin Lee.

Released in 1974. Newly remastered for 2026 from 192kHz/24bit files freshly transferred from the UK original master tapes. SHM-CD. Type A double cardboard sleeve jacket. Comes with newly written liner notes (Kunihiko Fujimoto), lyrics, and Japanese translations.

Extra Texture (Read All About It)

George's sixth album, released just 10 months after its predecessor and his final release for Apple. Religious themes recede in favor of a more straightforward direction, including the advance single "You" and "This Guitar (Can't Keep from Crying)," a spiritual sequel to the Beatles-era classic "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."

Released in 1975. Newly remastered for 2026 from 192kHz/24bit files freshly transferred from the UK original master tapes. SHM-CD. Type A double cardboard sleeve jacket. Comes with newly written liner notes (Kunihiko Fujimoto), lyrics, and Japanese translations.

Thirty Three & 1/3

George's seventh album, the first release on his own Dark Horse label. A work whose appeal lies in its bright, buoyant sound, including "This Song," which pokes fun at the "My Sweet Lord" plagiarism lawsuit, the standout pop melody of "Crackerbox Palace," "Beautiful Girl," written in the late Beatles years, and "Dear One," which finds him returning to Indian spirituality after a long absence.

Released in 1976. Newly remastered for 2026 from 192kHz/24bit files freshly transferred from the UK original master tapes. SHM-CD. Type A double cardboard sleeve jacket. Comes with newly written liner notes (Isao Inubushi), lyrics, and Japanese translations.

George Harrison

George's eighth album, true to the image of its cover art of him smiling amid dappled sunlight, sets beautiful melodies to gentle sounds. A popular record packed with consistently strong songs, including the hit single "Blow Away," the Formula 1 tribute "Faster," and the Beatles-connected "Not Guilty" and "Here Comes the Moon."

Released in 1979. Newly remastered for 2026 from 192kHz/24bit files freshly transferred from the UK original master tapes. SHM-CD. Type A double cardboard sleeve jacket. Comes with newly written liner notes (Isao Inubushi), lyrics, and Japanese translations.

Somewhere in England

George's ninth album, originally scheduled for release within 1980, though four songs were swapped out at the request of the record company, which wanted material with stronger hit potential. During that process, the single "All Those Years Ago," written in tribute to John Lennon after he was shot and killed, featured Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr and became a major talking point.

Released in 1981. Newly remastered for 2026 from 192kHz/24bit files freshly transferred from the UK original master tapes. SHM-CD. Type A double cardboard sleeve jacket (featuring the original LP artwork). Comes with newly written liner notes (Isao Inubushi), lyrics, and Japanese translations.

Gone Troppo

George's tenth album, incorporating elements of the New Wave sound then in vogue as he took on his own take on '80s production. Though it was not a commercial hit at the time, it offers plenty to enjoy, including the synthesizer-heavy single "Wake Up My Love," the tropical-flavored title track, and "Dream Away," the theme song for the film "Time Bandits."

Released in 1982. Newly remastered for 2026 from 192kHz/24bit files freshly transferred from the UK original master tapes. SHM-CD. Type A double cardboard sleeve jacket. Comes with newly written liner notes (Isao Inubushi), lyrics, and Japanese translations.

Cloud Nine

Five years after its predecessor, George's 11th album was made with ELO's Jeff Lynne as co-producer and features irresistible songs, including the first single "Got My Mind Set on You," a huge hit that topped the US chart and reached No. 2 in the UK, and the second single "When We Was Fab," a deliberate return to a Beatles-esque sound. It became a triumphant comeback that satisfied George fans everywhere.

Released in 1987. Newly remastered for 2026 from 192kHz/24bit files freshly transferred from the UK original master tapes. SHM-CD. Type A double cardboard sleeve jacket. Comes with newly written liner notes (Isao Inubushi), lyrics, and Japanese translations.

Brainwashed

A year after the news of his death sent the world into mourning, George's son Dhani Harrison and Jeff Lynne selected from songs he had been recording since his previous album and assembled them into this final, posthumous record. From "Any Road," recorded as far back as 1988, to the very end, it is filled with the guitar playing and vocals unmistakably his own.

Released in 2002. Newly remastered for 2026 from 192kHz/24bit files freshly transferred from the UK original master tapes. SHM-CD. Type A double cardboard sleeve jacket. Comes with newly written liner notes (Shun'ichi Otaka), lyrics, and Japanese translations.

Live In Japan

A miracle of a live album capturing the complete setlist from George's December 1991 concerts in Japan, his first tour there in fully 17 years, since 1974. Backed by his old friend Eric Clapton and Clapton's band of the time, and featuring Beatles-era songs woven throughout, this is truly a "Best of George Harrison"-style set.

Released in 1992. Newly remastered for 2026 from a 48kHz/24bit digital TD master. 2 SHM-CDs. Type A double cardboard sleeve jacket. Comes with newly written liner notes (Shun'ichi Otaka), lyrics, and Japanese translations.

Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1

George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, and Jeff Lynne: the first album from this masked supergroup of five towering British and American names was a huge hit, its sound drawing on classic Americana styles, including "Handle with Care," originally recorded for the B-side of one of George's singles, and "End of the Line," also led by George.

Released in 1988. Newly remastered for 2026 from 192kHz/24bit files freshly transferred from the UK original master tapes. SHM-CD. Type A double cardboard sleeve jacket. Comes with newly written liner notes (Kenta Hagiwara), lyrics, and Japanese translations.

Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3

Two years after its predecessor, and overcoming the sudden death of Roy Orbison, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne reunited as a foursome for this second Traveling Wilburys album, which was well received for following a similar path to its predecessor, including "She's My Baby" with guest Gary Moore, the accessible "Inside Out," and the upbeat R&R-styled "Wilbury Twist."

Released in 1990. Newly remastered for 2026 from 192kHz/24bit files freshly transferred from the UK original master tapes. SHM-CD. Type A double cardboard sleeve jacket. Comes with newly written liner notes (Kenta Hagiwara), lyrics, and Japanese translations.
