About this deal

I think I have every version: 1971, 1988 cd, 2001 cd, 2014 cd, 2021 cd/lp, but why won't they release a version with LP1/2 on single cd and all the jams (junk) and outtakes/demos on separate cds? Harrison commissioned Tom Wilkes to design a hinged box in which to house the three vinyl discs, rather than have them packaged in a triple gatefold cover. John Gabree of High Fidelity described it as "the big album of the year" and a "unified yet tremendously varied" work. Melody Maker 's Richard Williams summed up the surprise many felt at Harrison's apparent transformation: All Things Must Pass, he said, provided "the rock equivalent of the shock felt by pre-war moviegoers when Garbo first opened her mouth in a talkie: Garbo talks! Music historian Richie Unterberger comments that, typical of the Beatles' solo work, the precise dates for the recording of All Things Must Pass are uncertain, a situation that contrasts with the "meticulous documentation" available for the band's studio activities.

Apple included a poster with the album, showing Harrison in a darkened corridor of his home, standing in front of an iron-framed window. It peaked at number 6 in the UK and number 7 on the Billboard 200 in the US; in other Billboard charts, it topped the listings for Top Rock Albums, Catalog Albums and Tastemaker Albums, and placed at number 2 on Top Albums Sales. Citing Wright's description that Harrison created a "profoundly peaceful" mood in the studio that complemented the quality of the musicianship, musicologist Thomas MacFarlane likens the atmosphere to the sessions for Harrison's Indian-style recordings for the Beatles, such as " Within You Without You".Harrison gave him a credit on the 30th anniversary reissue of the album, [149] but Collins' playing does not appear on the track. The majority of the album's backing tracks were taped on 8-track at EMI between late May and the second week of June.

Voormann immediately "loved" the sound, [165] as did Clapton; Harrison later said: "I grew to like it. The face label on each side of disc three contained a jam jar painted by designer Tom Wilkes, showing a piece of fruit inside the jar and two apple leaves on the outside.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. Triple 180 Gram vinyl contained in a slim box, including a poster and an 8-page insert with photos and notes from Dhani Harrison and Paul Hicks on remixing the album. Writing for Rolling Stone in 2002, Greg Kot described this grandeur as an "echo-laden cathedral of rock in excelsis" where the "real stars" are Harrison's songs; [54] in the same publication, Mikal Gilmore labelled the album "the finest solo work any ex-Beatle ever produced".

During the final year of his life, Harrison oversaw a successful reissue campaign to mark the 30th anniversary of the album's release.In response to rumours that the Beatles were due to reunite, Gabree said that, on the strength of the Harrison and Lennon solo albums, "I, for one, don't care if they ever do. nb 21] Some of the Feinstein photographs that Wilkes had incorporated into this original poster design appeared instead on the picture sleeves for the "My Sweet Lord" single and its follow-up, "What Is Life". The new treatment feels more airy and open with George's guitar and vocal sitting slightly more on top of the mix resulting in this being a more emotional feeling representation of the songs within.
