 For the solos on "Living in the Material World", Harrison and Horn overdubbed slide guitar and tenor saxophone, respectively. Leng likens Harrison's soloing to the "passionate, rocking slide guitar" he supplied on "Edward" for Hopkins's The Tin Man Was a Dreamer album, also recorded at Apple in late 1972. The recording ends with what Clayson terms "a syncopated blues run-down", emphasising the song's "big production" status.
