It was released by Koch Records on 25 February 2003, on what would have been Harrison's 60th birthday.

Among the artists who contributed recordings to the compilation are Todd Rundgren, Dave Davies, Leslie West, They Might Be Giants, John Entwistle, Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings and Wayne Kramer. Proceeds from the sale of the album went to Harrison's charitable organisation, the Material World Charitable Foundation.[1]
