All Things Must Pass (50th Anniversary - Deluxe)

Product Information

Production began at London's EMI Studios in May 1970, with extensive overdubbing and mixing continuing through October.

Music journalist Jim Irvin says that Harrison sings of "deep love – for his faith, for life and the people around him". In celebration of the 50th Anniversary, George Harrison’s, All Things Must Pass, is celebrated with a suite of new releases highlighted by a stunning new mix of the classic album by Grammy Award-winning mixer/engineer Paul Hicks, overseen by executive producer Dhani Harrison. Jim Irvin considers it to be "a sharper clutch of songs than Imagine, more individual than Band on the Run" and concludes, "It's hard to think of many bigger-hearted, more human and more welcoming records than this.

Scott says that Spector would visit Trident for a few hours and make suggestions on their latest mixes, and that some of Spector's suggestions were followed, others not. Aside from the seventeen songs issued on discs one and two of the original album, [99] Harrison recorded at least twenty other songs – either in demo form for Spector's benefit, just before recording got officially under way in late May, or as outtakes from the sessions. Molland said they would record two or three songs each day, and that Harrison ran the sessions, rather than Spector.

Immediately after Wings' success, Harrison again held both number 1 positions, with his " Give Me Love" single and its parent album, Living in the Material World.

In his liner notes accompanying the 2001 reissue of All Things Must Pass, however, Harrison gives the date for the run-through as 27 May. Spector's signature production style gave All Things Must Pass a heavy, reverb-oriented sound, which Harrison came to regret. In January 1970, [23] Harrison invited American producer Phil Spector to participate in the recording of Lennon's Plastic Ono Band single " Instant Karma!
