Did you gnome a 50th anniversary set of George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" is coming soon?

Jem Aswad in Variety writes of an off-beat promo item that arrived in the mail...

...the sheer bizarreness of the item helps it to achieve its aim, which is to promote the project memorably. The box has very little identifying information but says “Gnome set” in large letters; just imagine coming home to, “Hey dad, somebody sent you gnomes.”

My family, long accustomed to (if not jaded by) such bounty, gathered around the box as I opened it, perplexed as to the who and why. There wasn’t even a press release explaining the anniversary campaign or anything — just the gnomes and a box illustrated with the iconic photo’s background and lettering reading “George Harrison All Things Must Pass 50th Anniversary.” But the sender also knew that no further information was necessary for the target audience: We’re not likely to forget that the 50th anniversary edition is coming.

I'm sure we'll be getting some official details about this long-rumored set soon.
