If you go to www.darkhorserecords.com, you'll get an excellent look - in flash - at the box set, including the artwork and the booklet. It's as close a look as you'll get without buying the box yourself.

There are also audio clips of some songs, as well as a nice EPK video (about six minutes) for the box set itself.

An aside, I think George's website is very nicely run. It can be perused at www.georgeharrison.com. Lots of goodies there to keep you busy.

I don't get the new cover of Somewhere In England. What was wrong with the old one?

the "new" cover is supposedly the one George intended for the US release, but Warner made him change to another cover. So now we're getting the cover George Harrison wanted in 1981

What BuffySlayer said.

I like the "new" one much better than the original, anyway!

So I guess the old cover was meant for just the UK release? Funny cover though - it looks like George is lying on the "pavement" (as the Brits call a sidewalk), then turn the cover around and he's walking away laughing from the painting of a curbside (kerbside?

)

The old cover is just something they threw together after Warner Bros. rejected the one that's currently being used on the Capitol reissue.
