 All Things Must Pass (Music)
comment
All Things Must Pass is the third studio album by George Harrison, released in 1970 through Apple Records. It is generally considered to be his greatest solo album and was an international commercial success, spawning the hit singles "My Sweet Lord" (his Signature Song) and "What Is Life". Unusually for the time, it was a triple album; it largely consisted of songs rejected by The Beatles when Harrison was still a member, with an additional disc of studio jams.All Things Must Pass is the most commercially successful album by any former Beatle. Even to this day more copies of this album have been sold than any solo album by Paul McCartney, John Lennon or Ringo Starr.

Interfaith Smoothie: The backing vocals of "My Sweet Lord" transition effortlessly from chanting "Hallelujah" to chanting "Hare Krishna" and eventually become a Vedic prayer to Vishnu.

The Cameo: A number of celebrities make brief appearances in the music video for "My Sweet Lord", some of whom were connected to Harrison in one way or another (including prior collaborator Jeff Lynne, "Weird Al" Yankovic, who parodied Harrison's version of "Got My Mind Set On You" as "(This Song's Just) Six Words Long", and Beatles bandmate Ringo Starr).

comment
Special Guest: As the Beatle most engaged with outside musicians, George was able to assemble quite the backing group for his big solo moment. Along with a return appearance from Ringo, Ginger Baker, Jim Gordon, and session ace Jim Keltner contributed on drums alone - not to mention temporary "Fifth Beatle" Billy Preston on keyboards, along with, Gary Wright and Gary Brooker, best buddy Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton, Dave Mason, and Harrison himself playing guitar. They also flew legendary Nashville steel guitarist Pete Drake in to help out. All the bricks Phil Spector could possibly want for a mighty wall of sound, often cramped into one studio with the entire Badfinger band along for good measure. That's not to mention the (supposed) inclusion of a pre-fame Phil Collins on congas. Also, while he doesn't appear on the album, Bob Dylan co-wrote "I'd Have You Anytime."

Pep-Talk Song: "Behind That Locked Door" has the narrator urging the song's subject to stop being sad and to share "the love you are blessed with" with the world. Harrison later said that the lyrics were aimed at Bob Dylan, encouraging him to open back up as a songwriter following his motorcycle crash.

 All Things Must Pass (Music) / int_979ca348
comment
Repurposed Pop Song: George wrote the majority of the album's songs when he was still with The Beatles, and made some unsuccessful attempts to convince the others to record them. "Isn't It a Pity?" dated all the way back to the Revolver sessions. They actually worked a bit on "All Things Must Pass" during the "Get Back sessions" in 1969, before dropping it. A demo of the song finally did appear on a Beatles album in 1996: The Beatles Anthology.

Production Throwback
 All Things Must Pass (Music) / int_985f0a0f
comment
Production Throwback: The first version of "Isn't It a Pity" reprises the ending melody of "Hey Jude" in a minor key, making it feel like a Dark Reprise. It's also just a second shorter than the earlier song. "Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp" makes a nod to "The Inner Light". The music video for "My Sweet Lord" (released in 2021) features a brief sequence where a man in the movie theater imitates Harrison's dance moves from the "dancing furniture" music video for "Got My Mind Set On You" (released in 1987), complete with a recreation of his leather chair.

Distinct Double Album
 All Things Must Pass (Music) / int_b134a27d
comment
Distinct Double Album: A triple one, for that matter! The first two records were filled with songs (including the title track) that George had originally offered to the Beatles but didn't get recorded because John and Paul were unwilling to let him have more than his two-songs-per-record quota (kinda like what happened to Ringo, just not nearly as extreme). The third record is mostly jam-session recordings.

The Not-Remix
 All Things Must Pass (Music) / int_ba4fd8c2
comment
The Not-Remix: The Harrison estate remixed the entire album in 2020, exactly 50 years after its original release, to address longtime issues Harrison had with Phil Spector's dense production, with this new version releasing in 2021. While everything on the original 1970 release is retained, the amount of reverb is heavily reduced and the vocal tracks are brought further forward. These changes were based on Harrison's unfulfilled intentions for the 2001 remaster.

Re-Cut: The tracks on Apple Jam are rearranged in most reissues to reflect Harrison's originally intended order; "Out of the Blue" has been moved to the end of the album, with the other four remaining in sequence. The 2020 remix restores the original running order.

"It's Johnny's Birthday" is Cliff Richard's "Congratulations" sung with new lyrics to commemorate John Lennon's thirtieth birthday.

Spinoff: The formation of Derek and the Dominos was an indirect result of the sessions for this album, as all of the band's members ended up playing on the album together. As was Ringo Starr's second solo album Beaucoups of Blues. Starr and steel guitarist Pete Drake hit it off during the sessions, and when Ringo mentioned an interest in doing a whole album of Country Music, Drake invited him to come to Nashville and try it. Drake ended up producing the album and assembling the musicians and songs.
