VISIT OUR AUCTIVA STORE AT: WWW.DADDIOSISTERS.COM GEORGE HARRISON "THE CONCERT FOR BANGLA DESH" 3 LP BOXED SET WITH 64 PAGE COLOR BOOK APPLE RECORDS - 1971 - CATALOG # STCX 3385 ORIGINAL PRESSING George Harrison's fourth solo album release, second triple boxed set, and ONLY number one album. Recorded live at Madison Square Garden, New York on 1st August 1971 where there was an afternoon and evening show. The concerts were recorded using 44 microphones and a 16-track mobile recording facility from The Record Plant, manned by Phil Spector. The finished tapes were edited and mixed by Phil, with the final production being credited to George and Phil. With millions starving in his home country, Ravi Shankar asked George to assist him in organising a relief concert to raise funds for UNICEF. In very short time, George had got together the "Greatest rock spectacle of the decade" (to quote NME of the edition after the concert) including Ringo, Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Leon Russell, Mick Jagger and Bob Dylan. George had invited John, Paul and Ringo. Paul declined, saying that the time wasn't right for a Beatles reunion, Ringo accepted as did John, at first, until he realised the invitation to perform did not extend to Yoko...... The concert was watched by 20,000 attendees and raised $243,418.50. A check was sent by Madison Square Garden Center, Inc. to UNICEF on 12th August 1971. The merchandising post-concert, the film and the album, potentially raised a further 15 million dollars, but legal problems with some record companies, and the U.S. tax system tied the money up for years, and only a very small amount ever found it's way to Bangla Desh. In fact, George had to write a personal check to the Inland Revenue for One Million pounds to satisfy constant tax claims by the British government, who decided that this non-profit, goodwill production should be taxed as a standard commerical release. On 5th June 1972, George and Ravi were rewarded for their efforts from UNICEF with an award entitled, "The Child Is The Father Of Man". The three albums are housed in a dark orange colored box, designed by Barry Feinstein and Tom Wilkes of Camouflage Productions. Photography is by Barry Feinstein, Tom Wilkes and Alan Pariser. Also included is a 64 page booklet, in full-color of photographs taken at the concert.

CONDITION VINYL - VERY GOOD CONDITION ++ - All three of these albums are nearly spotless. This should probably be catagorized as Near Mint, but we'll stay on the conservative side and leave it as we've graded it. At the MOST, it has one or two ULTRA LIGHT marks on two of the LP's, only seen when carefully inspected under a bright light. These are bright, shiny and were wonderfully cared for. LABELS - Each Label has the former owners' name stamped on ONE side of each LP (in a 'stamp' format - it says "David Brooks"). INNER SLEEVE - There is ONE inner sleeve. We're not sure if it was produced this way or not, but one LP is housed in the sleeve and sandwiched between the two that are not. BOX SET COVER - VERY GOOD CONDITION. This is in great shape, with the only exception being that THREE of the corners are split (SEE PICS). Regardless of that, it is still holding together well (not sticking out) and could be reinforced. COLOR BOOKLET - This is in NEAR MINT CONDITION. It has two very minor spots on the front (very small and light yellow - see pics). There are no rips, tears or dog ears.
