Early Takes: Volume 1 is a pivotal companion piece to Martin Scorsese’s critically acclaimed documentary on the life of George Harrison, Living In The Material World.
The album features a wealth of previously unreleased recordings from Harrison, including early takes of "I’d Have You Anytime" and "Awaiting On You All", plus unheard demo versions of "Behind That Locked Door", "All Things Must Pass", "Run of the Mill" and "My Sweet Lord"; all later featured on Harrison’s 1970 chart-topping album All Things Must Pass. Other unreleased tracks include demos of "The Light That Has Lighted the World", "Let It Be Me", Bob Dylan’s "Mama You’ve Been on My Mind", and an early take of "Woman Don’t You Cry For Me".
