Released in 1970, All Things Must Pass was George Harrison's triumphant and sprawling solo debut, a creative eruption following the breakup of The Beatles. Widely regarded as one of the greatest solo albums by any former Beatle, it presented a triple-LP set of spiritual-minded rock, folk, and blues, showcasing the wealth of material Harrison had accumulated in the latter years of the band. Produced by Phil Spector with his iconic "Wall of Sound," the album features an all-star cast of friends including Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, and members of Derek and the Dominos. This 50th Anniversary Edition, released in 2021, is the definitive celebration of this landmark record, offering a stunning new mix and a treasure trove of unreleased material.
🎵 Album Highlights
This Deluxe Edition Box Set is the most comprehensive version of the album ever released. The centerpiece is a brand-new stereo mix of the main album by engineer Paul Hicks, created under the supervision of executive producer Dhani Harrison. This mix provides a fresh clarity and balance, allowing the intricate instrumentation and Harrison's vocals to shine through without losing the power and essence of Phil Spector's original production. The packaging is a faithful reproduction of the original, including the iconic "garden gnome" photo session and the elaborate box design.
