It's hard to imagine, but Beatles resident mystic George Harrison has arguably become the band's most curmudgeonly cynic. We offer as evidence this splendidly remastered 30th-anniversary edition of his 1970 multidisc solo epic. If the mini-boxed set's booklet and twin inner CD sleeves won't convince you (the album's familiar cover is colorized and altered to include backdrops of a freeway-tangled cityscape and nuclear reactor cooling towers, respectively), then maybe his liner-note apology for Phil Spector's "big production" (kind of like Da Vinci grousing about Mona's crooked smile) or his laconic, stripped-down, 2000 rethink of "My Sweet Lord" will. With such a mindset, it's unsurprising Harrison has allowed a nearly decade-and-a-half gap to grow between recordings. Still, no amount of grumpy auto-revisionism can subtract from the admittedly overwrought majesty of these tracks, which were the logical sonic extension of Abbey Road. It remains Harrison's unequaled masterpiece. The devolved "My Sweet Lord" aside, the bonus tracks here offer new insight: the unreleased "I Live for You" further highlights the album's oft overlooked country facet; spare takes of "Beware of Darkness" and "Let It Down" underscore the strength of Harrison's songwriting; an alternate backing track of "What Is Life" demonstrates the meticulousness of Spector's production. And then there's the project's truly stellar session lineup, which included Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Klaus Voorman, Jim Gordon, Dave Mason, Badfinger, Billy Preston, Ginger Baker, Carl Radle, Gary Brooker, Jim Price, Bobby Keys, Pete Drake and, it turns out, even Phil Collins! --Jerry McCulley

The key issue with "All Things Must Pass" is a perception, based on the opinions of so-called music "experts", that time has not treated it very well. The songs are dated, they say; that it feels like a museum piece. It's a human nature thing, I guess; say something enough and people just start believing it. And, based on the liner notes, George himself is no exception. He speaks of production that "seemed appropriate at the time" and how difficult it was to resist re-mixing every track for the CD package. What comes across is how precious this album is to him, and how desperately he wants to preserve it for history - to undo the "crime" of that damn production. He has struggled, it seems, with how much he should tamper with it. For George, these are songs that he thinks of a certain way, and the Spectorized treatment of them does not always match with his own perceptions. He tries to clue us in to this with the bonus tracks included on the first CD. He has rid these tracks of ALL reverb whatsoever - the production is very raw. As if he's saying, "See, this is what it really should sound like". It is interesting to think of how it all could be different - if you listen to "I Live For You", the logical extension is to think of how a song like "Awaiting On You All", a titanic wall of sound if there ever was one, would fare with the alternative treatment.
The fact is, though, that this is all a bunch of nonsense.
The songs sound great - or rather, the great songs sound great. "I'd Have You Anytime", "My Sweet Lord", "Beware of Darkness", "All Things Must Pass", just to name the most obvious, are simply perfect. Any other production would be a detriment, contrary to the prevailing school of thought. And that's one key point: this is not a perfect album. MOST of the songs are good or great, but not all, and no matter what the production the lessor tunes were not headed for immortality. If I had the chance to talk to George myself, I'd tell him to let it go - this is a beautiful record, warts and all (as they say), and there's no need to change a thing. What comes to mind is something Duke Ellington said in a film clip in the last installment of the Ken Burns "Jazz" program. When asked what piece of music of his was his favorite, he instantly replied, "The one I'm writing tomorrow, always!" Go out and make another masterpiece tomorrow, George, and be proud of All Things Must Pass for the great achievement it is. Let it be.
There's also been a little talk about the paucity of liner notes from George. But frankly, I'm a member of the "enough anthologies" crowd. There's no need to put this under the microscope and dissect it. Just listen to the music - that's the message. The minimalism makes the little things, like George poking fun at his Liverpudlian accent, "Let your `hur' hang all around me", stand out a little more. And the cover on the booklet, with the freeway, skyscrapers and nuclear towers? - hysterical! How very, well, Beatle-esque!
One additional note: if you were looking for the lyrics for that one verse in "Awaiting On You All", you won't find it. Radio announcer Richard Neer will still always be able to find work answering that bit of trivia!
All in all, a loving treatment of a great record by George Harrison.
Well for one, the previous remasters were as a whole lacking in the pressing phase. Too many buyers complained of the records skipping, warping, etc... Before I bought the album here on Amazon. I did some study as to where the album was pressed, whether it was the analog tapes used or a digital source. From the sticker a fixed to the wrapper it states it is the original analog tapes, on 180 gram vinyl and states it was pressed in Germany. Now whether that is at Pallas, which has done some magical pressings of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album and many others. I don't know. I had heard Abbey Road had a hand in this version as well.
It has also been said Dhani Harrison had a hand in this process, if so, he and all involved need to be commended. This is by far the best Vinyl version remaster I have heard. The 2000 version is great on CD. This is the definitive remaster on vinyl. When you drop the needle onto the record, it is dead quiet. It has been remastered quietly, which when you turn the volume up the songs open up and reveal depth not heard before in this format. The packaging outside is exact, if the only the hinge box is slightly thicker than any previous version. Some of that is the 180 gram records it houses, but there is another reason. I bought my first "All Things Must Pass" album in 1970 with the snow shoveling money I had worked for that week during snow storm in Atlantic Iowa that November. It had just been released and I was already hooked on The Beatles. So having a fondness for George's Beatle songs I took the plunge.
Over the years that first pressing was played and played. The inner sleeves took a beating as did the hinged box. The records are still great, even though there are a few pops and crackles. Well when they put this Remaster together they took the care of putting each album in what I would call a rice paper inner white sleeve with plastic insides to protect the records. They also put the original sleeves which have the lyrics to the songs on them in inside as well. So these replica sleeves should last the lifetime of the records themselves because you don't have to use them.
The only cosmetic change was to the orange Apple labels on the records. Now instead of a whole Apple on sides 1 and 3 and the half cut Apple on 2 and 4. They are all whole orange apples. Almost as if saying none of these songs were less deserving of A-side status than any other songs.
In closing, if you are getting into vinyl for the first time or like me needing a new copy of this classic album because you played it to death. This is the one to get. The RSD from 2010 ( the 40th yr since it's original release) now runs into the several hundreds of dollars to buy because it was limited. The 2000 vinyl version is also expensive. This 2017 remaster is also a Limited release, so get one while they are still under $100.00. Because like the man said, All Things Must Pass, and this version will become scarce in a short time.

I went to Customer Service and the associate was very understanding and got me to the download library. There I was able to download the missing tracks. Thanks to him.
