"'Good music will prevail' is the motto we stand by, and for the launch of our fall issue, we want to inspire our readers with the FILTER generation's tribute to George Harrison," said Alan Miller, FILTER Magazine Co-Publisher. "George has helped influence the way we see the world, and it's up to us to get the word out on why our generation has been shaped by his music and legacy."
The launch of the fall issue of FILTER coincides with the completion of the Martin Scorsese documentary, George Harrison: Living in the Material World. A few images from the film are also featured in the fall issue of FILTER.
Olivia Harrison will be releasing never-before-seen photographs of George as well as George's own photographs in the film's companion book.
