All Things Must Pass is a triple album by George
Harrison. Recorded and released in 1970, the album was Harrison's first
solo work since the break-up of The Beatles in April that year. The
original vinyl release featured two LPs of rock songs as well as Apple
Jam, a third disc of informal jams. Often credited as rock's first
triple album, it was in fact the first by a single act, the multi-artist
Woodstock live set having preceded it by six months.
In regards to the album's size, Harrison stated: "I didn't have many
tunes on Beatles records, so doing an album like All Things Must Pass
was like going to the bathroom and letting it out.
The album was critically acclaimed and, with long stays at number 1
in both the US and the UK, commercially successful. It was certified 6x
platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in 2001.
