Signed book: Live In Japan. England: Genesis Publications, 1993. Leather bound hardcover with slipcase, 10 x 13, 271 pages. Signed in black ink on the limitations page, indicating this is book number 420 out of a limited edition of 3500 signed copies. The book features commentaries written by Harrison and each band member as well as over 500 previously unpublished photos from the tour. Book is handsomely housed in a custom made slip case together with the two Live From Japan compact discs, replicas of the laminate backstage pass used on the tour, an “after show” pass and replicas of four guitar picks used by Harrison and Clapton. In 1991, Harrison teamed with Eric Clapton for a twelve-date tour of Japan, marking the first such tour for Harrison in nearly seventeen years. Harrison’s return to the road was a resounding success, and following the tour, Genesis Publications chronicled every aspect of the trip with the publication of a book titled Live In Japan, issued in a limited edition of just 3500 copies. In very fine condition, with just a bit of trivial rubbing to label on slipcase. Approximately half of these publications were sold before Harrison’s death in 2001. Legal proceedings stopped the sale of the remaining copies, making those that made it to the marketplace highly sought after collectibles today.
