All Things Must Pass (2001) (RMST) (30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION) (EXTRA TRACKS) George Harrison
Album Description:
ALL THINGS MUST PASS is a 1970 album by George Harrison, recorded and released after the break-up of The Beatles. The original vinyl release featured two LP's of rock songs, while the third LP, titled APPLE JAM, was composed of informal jams led by Harrison with musician friends and famous musicians.
ALL THINGS MUST PASS' lead single "My Sweet Lord" proved an enormously popular recording, reaching #1 worldwide, and earned Harrison a copyright infringement suit from the publishers of The Chiffons's 1963 hit "He's So Fine" — a grievance that would not be settled for years. A judge later found that Harrison had unintentionally copied the earlier song and this prompted Harrison to later write "This Song". He also bought the publishing rights to "He's So Fine" to prevent future suits. The album itself reached #1 in the U.K. for eight weeks, and spent seven weeks at the top in the U.S., where it was certified six times platinum, making ALL THINGS MUST PASS Harrison's most commercially successful and generally best-loved album.
Produced by Phil Spector, whose expansive, majestic arrangements and sonic flourishes suit Harrison's songs perfectly, ALL THINGS MUST PASS eclipses everything the other Beatles recorded at the time (excepting John Lennon's PLASTIC ONO BAND). This sprawling double record gives the impression of Harrison being uncorked and pouring forth all of the songs and ideas edged out by Lennon and McCartney during the Beatles years.
The title and the original melancholic black and white cover photo match the mood of the music, which brims with an armchair wisdom, and the weary, disillusioned air that permeated the early 70's in the counter-cultural wake. Yet the album also boasts an abiding sense of spirituality and tenacious optimism, as on the "Isn't It a Pity," a compassionate study of human suffering. "What Is Life" and "Awaiting on You All" continue these themes, but Spector's bright pop polish lends a counterweight, making the record feel light and deeply personal at once. Despite some lengthy, formless jams, as on the 11-minute-plus "Out of the Blue," ALL THINGS MUST PASS stands among the great records of the early 70's.
