Customer Rating: Summary: ALL THINGS MUST PASS......indeed Comment: all things must pass but George harrison is still remembered! from MY SWEET LORD to WHAT IS LIFE to RUN OF THE MILL It is said there are 2 main reasons the BEATLES broke up. 1...YOKO 2...Not recording Georges songs As an X Beatle, he released a large number of the songs he had stockpiled in the first major solo work released after the breakup, All Things Must Pass, the first triple album by a single artist in rock history. All Things Must Pass as vinyl is four sides of material, followed by an additional two sides of extended rock jams by Harrison and other musician friends. this work was the achievement of a sole individual. produced by The album, which topped the charts, included the number-one hit singles "My Sweet Lord" and "Isn't It a Pity" as well as the top-10 single "What Is Life." Harrison was later sued for copyright infringement over "My Sweet Lord," because of its surface similarity to the 1963 Chiffons single "He's So Fine". Harrison denied deliberately stealing the song, but he lost the resulting court case in 1976. In the ruling, the court accepted the possibility that Harrison had "subconsciously copied" the Chiffons' melody as the basis for his own song. Disputes over damages dragged on into the 1990s, with manager Allen Klein changing sides by buying Bright Tunes, which published "He's So Fine", and continuing the suit after parting with Harrison ! Harrison ultimately wound up as the owner of both songs (Huntley 2004). "All Things Must Pass " was revived in early 2001, when a remastered version was released. It peaked at #4 on Billboard's Pop Catalog chart, with Harrison taking part in Internet chats to help promote it. It reappeared on that chart following Harrison 's death. Featured on the 30th Anniversary edition were five bonus tracks, including the top-notch outtake "I Live For You" as well as a new, updated version of "My Sweet Lord." ATMP has been certified by the RIAA as having sold six million copies in the U.S. alone. In early 2007, it was determined that "All Things Must Pass" indeed was a #1 album in the United Kingdom when first released in the winter of 1970-71. Because some sales were not properly counted, the album originally peaked at #4 in Britain . Produced by George Harrison and Phil Spector for Apple Records.

Customer Rating: Summary: Great Recording, but Prefer the Original Comment: I got the original incarnation of this album (3 vinyl LPs) on my sixteenth birthday, about a week after it hit the record stores. I then bought the two CD set immediately upon its release, as this has always been, and remains, one of my favorite albums of all time. I have yet to purchase this third version for a couple of reasons: 1) I HATE the colorization of the original sepia-toned cover photo, and 2) the order of the songs has been re-arranged with additions of demo covers of some of the orginal songs. I'm generally not that much of a purist about 'bonus tracks' added to other classic rock albums, but this one is truly sacred to me on a number of levels, and I can't bring myself to fork over the $25 for it for those reasons. Otherwise, and especially for those new to Harrison's solo output, I highly recommend adding this edition to your music collection. The first 18 tracks (17 on the original set) comprise some of the most uplifting, finely-crafted, brilliantly produced rock & roll songs that have ever been recorded. The lyrics are insightful, spiritual, and poignant throughout. And George's unmistakable slide-guitar playing, along with his soulful vocals make this collection of songs among the finest pop music you'll ever hear. And for those who think this is just a Hare Krishna revival meeting set to rock music, there's what was originally known as the "Apple Jam" LP: four instrumental tracks of some of the best rock musicians of the era (or any subsequent one) jamming out together, having fun and showing their stuff to perfection. So, while I regret the changes made to the original, this is still a gold mine of a set and worthwhile for both hard-core Beatle/Harrison fans and new listeners alike. Hopefully, I will one day overcome my sentimental attachment to the original format of this recording and purchase this edition in the spirit of the title song. Customer Rating: Summary: A MASTERPIECE Comment: You really have to had live through the years George and the Beatles were doing there thing... I for one did.. George's great guitar playing, he is so pure, a beautiful man, who gave all of us something so special...... I have not much more to say, and any one who can be so condescending towards this wonderful genius of a man should look a lot closer inside of there hearts, soul and mind...... He found his inner peace, his strength,and spirituality and shared all of this with everyone of us through his beautiful talented guitar and songs...... Thank you George, love and peace to you, say "hello" to John L. for me Namaste More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: It's hard to imagine, but Beatles resident mystic George Harrison has arguably become the band's most curmudgeonly cynic. We offer as evidence this splendidly remastered 30th-anniversary edition of his 1970 multidisc solo epic. If the mini-boxed set's booklet and twin inner CD sleeves won't convince you (the album's familiar cover is colorized and altered to include backdrops of a freeway-tangled cityscape and nuclear reactor cooling towers, respectively), then maybe his liner-note apology for Phil Spector's "big production" (kind of like Da Vinci grousing about Mona's crooked smile) or his laconic, stripped-down, 2000 rethink of "My Sweet Lord" will. With such a mindset, it's unsurprising Harrison has allowed a nearly decade-and-a-half gap to grow between recordings. Still, no amount of grumpy auto-revisionism can subtract from the admittedly overwrought majesty of these tracks, which were the logical sonic extension of Abbey Road. It remains Harrison's unequaled masterpiece. The devolved "My Sweet Lord" aside, the bonus tracks here offer new insight: the unreleased "I Live for You" further highlights the album's oft overlooked country facet; spare takes of "Beware of Darkness" and "Let It Down" underscore the strength of Harrison's songwriting; an alternate backing track of "What Is Life" demonstrates the meticulousness of Spector's production. And then there's the project's truly stellar session lineup, which included Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Klaus Voorman, Jim Gordon, Dave Mason, Badfinger, Billy Preston, Ginger Baker, Carl Radle, Gary Brooker, Jim Price, Bobby Keys, Pete Drake and, it turns out, even Phil Collins! --Jerry McCulley
