This box set is beatifully presented and of the highest quality. The hardback book has beautiful photographs and includes comments from George and Ravi.
The albums come in cardboard sleeves approx 10" in size with original sleeves and inners. The 3 music albums are 1. Chants from India 2. Shankar Family and Friends and 3 Ravi Shankar's Music Festval from India. The albums have all been released previously but are unavailable, with the latter two never having appeared on CD.
The music in my humble opinion is light Indian classical, and is more accessible than some of the heavier Ravi Shankar works available.
The box includes a DVD of the Ravi Shankar conert at the Albert Hall in 1974,including 18 indian musicians.
Excellent value for money and a fitting tribute to both Ravi Shankar and George Harrison.

Truly a most beautiful and gorgeous boxset, with the albums presented in separate sturdy 10" sleeves (as if they were small LPs!). The booklet is of the uppermost picture quality and delightfully presented.
A grand expression of how much the Harrisons love/loved Ravi Shankar and his music.

I can only agree with everyone else here. This is a very aesthetically pleasing box set - maybe one of the best I have come across in years. I have heard all the albums a long time ago and have just started re-listening to "Chants of India" (disc 1 on this set). Beautiful music, very uplifting and the book that comes with this...stunning. The sheer quality of the whole presentation of the book and the discs themselves is outstanding (maybe the Apple Records box set should have been like this?)
Apparently, this is a limited edition of 10,000 copies worldwide? (Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong). Snap this up quickly if you can. NOT to be missed. Full marks to Rhino/Dark Horse & Olivia Harrison and everyone else for doing a superb job.

A marriage made in Heaven
Without George Harrison's input its doubtful whether Ravi Shankar would have meant any more in the U K than the collaboration with Yehudi Menuhin. Read more
