B39267 – Genesis Publications George Harrison Live In Japan Book (UK)

‘Live In Japan’ is a large format, full colour book featuring almost 500 previously unpublished photographs. The foreword by Eric Clapton explains how George was persuaded to return to touring after a break of 17 years. The first (and longest) chapter is written by George himself and details his thoughts and feelings on taking to the road after such a long absence. It includes George’s personal recollections of the tour and memories of times on the road with The Beatles. Subsequent chapters are written by each member of Eric Clapton’s band and reveal private moments behind the scenes, during sound checks, on stage and in transit. The final chapter by John Harris (who engineered the ‘Live In Japan’ CD) provides a revealing account of working with George Harrison in the studio. The book also includes a full itinerary of the tour. ‘Live In Japan’ includes a double CD with original artwork and a total of 19 live tracks. A souvenir pack containing a laminated ‘After Show’ pass and Eric’s and George’s guitar picks accompanies this volume. The book is bound in black leather with gold and red tooling and gilt-edged pages. This is No. 27 of 3,500 limited edition copies, each of which is signed by George Harrison.
