All Things Must Pass (50th Anniversary - Deluxe)

Product Information

Spector has praised Harrison's guitar and vocal work on the overdubs, saying: "Perfectionist is not the right word. one of the outstanding rock albums in years", while Tom Zito of The Washington Post predicted that it would influence the discourse on "the [real] genius behind the Beatles". In Leng's book, Voormann states it was him playing lead guitar with Harrison on "Out of the Blue" and not Clapton, as credited by Harrison on the Apple Jam sleeve: "[George] thought it was Eric, because I was playing a little thing like Eric. Spector also made suggestions about overdubbing more instruments and orchestration on some tracks, but encouraged Harrison to focus on his vocals and avoid hiding his voice behind the instrumentation. All Things Must Pass received almost universal critical acclaim on release [275] – as much for the music and lyrical content as for the fact that, of all the former Beatles, it was the work of supposed junior partner George Harrison.

During the final year of his life, Harrison oversaw a successful reissue campaign to mark the 30th anniversary of the album's release. nb 29] Nigel Williamson of Uncut said that the album includes some of Harrison's best songs in "My Sweet Lord", "All Things Must Pass" and "Beware of Darkness", and stands as "George's finest . Run of the Mill" followed soon afterwards, its lyrics focusing on the failure of friendships within the Beatles [62] amid the business problems surrounding their Apple organisation. Aside from the popularity of Harrison's recording, the song attracted a large number of cover versions in 1971. 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.In January 1970, [23] Harrison invited American producer Phil Spector to participate in the recording of Lennon's Plastic Ono Band single " Instant Karma! The widespread success of "My Sweet Lord" worked against Harrison when a near-bankrupt music publisher, Bright Tunes, pursued an ultimately successful claim of plagiarism against him in the US district court, for unauthorised copyright infringement of the 1963 song " He's So Fine". Recently picked myself up a clean UK -1U copy with the USA printed box and original inners (no poster), after owning the 50th Anniversary edition for a few months.

Discussing the song's cultural impact, Gilmore credits "My Sweet Lord" with being "as pervasive on radio and in youth consciousness as anything the Beatles had produced". In addition, Harrison resequenced the content of Apple Jam so that the album closed with "Out of the Blue", as he had originally intended.Adding to his and Badfinger's acoustic guitars on some All Things Must Pass tracks, Harrison invited Peter Frampton to the sessions. Among Spector's comments were detailed suggestions regarding "Let It Down", [62] the released recording of which Madinger and Easter describe as "the best example of Spector running rampant with the 'Wall of Sound '", and an urging that he and Harrison carry out further work on the songs at Trident because of its 16-track recording desk. nb 8] Ginger Baker, Clapton's former bandmate in Cream and Blind Faith, played drums on the jam track "I Remember Jeep".
