George Harrison - Early Takes Volume 1 on vinyl:

Just released - a tie in to the Scorcese movie Living In The Material World, and the hardbound Christmas book of the same name, and the deluxe book/CD/DVD box, and the....whatever cash grab you can name.

Make no mistake - this is a cash grab. It's rather skimpy on songs. They are demos for the most part, finished and complete, and possessing some charm, particularly the songs from All Things Must Pass. And it is enjoyable, but not essential or revelatory. These are acoustic demos and rough early drafts.

The vinyl is selling cheap, and Universal have done their typical cheap pressing job. The sound is clearly digital, which is to be expected. It's not bad, nor is it overly good. Passable for the price and for what the record is, and it both requires and benefits from a good clean with Nitty Gritty First Rv, which is my go-to for cleaning up new vinyl from mediocre pressing plants.

Good record for Harrison completists.
