LIST OF GEORGE HARRISON ALBUMS SERIES

The latter series served to illustrate Harrison's dismay at 'the direction the world seemed headed at the start of the millennium', biographer Gary Tillery observes, a direction that was 'so far afield from the Age of Aquarius that had been the dream of the sixties' The new version of the album contained five bonus tracks, including 'I Live For You', two of the songs performed for Spector at Abbey Road in May 1970 ('Beware of Darkness' and 'Let It Down') and 'My Sweet Lord (2000)', a partial re-recording of Harrison's biggest solo hit. Harrison oversaw revisions to Wilkes and Feinstein's album artwork, which included a colorised 'George & the Gnomes' front cover and, on the two CD sleeves and the album booklet, further examples of this cover image showing an imaginary, gradual encroachment of urbanisation on the Friar Park landscape. The reissue appeared on Gnome Records, a label specifically set up by him for the project. To mark the 30th anniversary of the album's release, Harrison supervised a remastered edition of All Things Must Pass, which was issued in January 2001, less than a year before his death from cancer at the age of 58. In 2012, Rolling Stone placed All Things Must Pass 433rd on its list of the '500 Greatest Albums of All Time'. In March 2001, following a successful reissue campaign coinciding with its 30th anniversary, the album was certified 6x platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Reflecting the general surprise at the assuredness of Harrison's post-Beatles debut, Melody Maker's Richard Williams likened the album to Greta Garbo's first role in a talking picture and declared: 'Garbo talks! – Harrison is free!' A number of music critics consider All Things Must Pass to be the best of all the Beatles' solo albums. The album was co-produced by Phil Spector and employs the latter's Wall of Sound production technique to notable effect Ben Gerson of Rolling Stone described the sound as 'Wagnerian, Brucknerian, the music of mountain tops and vast horizons'. All Things Must Pass was critically acclaimed on release and, with long stays at number 1 on charts around the world, commercially successful. The sessions produced a double album's worth of extra material, most of which remains unreleased. Among the large cast of backing musicians were Eric Clapton and Delaney & Bonnie's Friends band – three of whom formed Derek and the Dominos with Clapton during the recording – as well as Ringo Starr, Gary Wright, Preston, Klaus Voormann, John Barham, Badfinger and Pete Drake. Production began at London's Abbey Road Studios in May 1970, with extensive overdubbing and mixing continuing through October. Commentators interpret Barry Feinstein's album cover photo, showing Harrison surrounded by four garden gnomes, as a statement on his independence from the Beatles. The original vinyl release consisted of two LPs of songs and a third disc of informal jams, titled Apple Jam, and it was the first studio triple album by a single act in the history of rock music. The album introduced Harrison's signature sound, the slide guitar, and the spiritual themes that would be implicit throughout his subsequent solo work. The album reflects the influence of his musical activities outside the Beatles during 1968–70 – with Bob Dylan, the Band, Delaney & Bonnie, Billy Preston and others – and Harrison's growth as an artist beyond his supporting role to former bandmates John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

Released in November 1970, it includes the hit singles 'My Sweet Lord' and 'What Is Life', as well as songs such as 'Isn't It a Pity' and the title track that were turned down by Harrison's former band, the Beatles. Is a triple album by English musician George Harrison. George Harrison - All Things Must Pass 1970 only1joe FLAC-EAC
