George Harrison – The Vinyl Collection is a box set by English musician George Harrison, released on 24 February 2017.[8][9] The box set contains sixteen vinyl LPs – comprising Harrison's entire output of studio albums from Wonderwall Music (1968) to the posthumously released Brainwashed (2002), together with the double live album Live in Japan (1992)[10] – and two 12-inch vinyl, picture-disc singles.[11][12]
The box set's release coincided with what would have been the artist's 74th birthday.[9][12] Accompanying the release, Genesis Publications launched an extended edition of Harrison's 1980 autobiography, I, Me, Mine,[13] featuring new material compiled by his widow, Olivia Harrison.[14][15]
