With the upcoming 50th Anniversary edition release of George Harrison's classic 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass less than a month away, it's no surprise to find previously unreleased material creeping into the public domain.     

First up is Cosmic Empire, a Harrison demo recorded on the second day of sessions for the album, which now finds itself the soundtrack to an animated lyric video featuring sunflowers, peacocks, toadstools, galaxies and other trippy paraphernalia.
 
The song is one of 30 demos featured on the expanded edition of the album,  including 26 tracks never officially released before, while the reissue is available in eight different configurations. As well as 2CD and 3CD editions, there's a triple vinyl set, a triple coloured vinyl set, a 5LP set, a 5CD plus Blu-ray edition, a super deluxe 8LP set and, most excitingly, an 8LP uber deluxe edition.   
 
The 50th anniversary edition of George Harrison's All Things Must Pass is available on August 6. Full tracklist below.
