Drawing on his backlog of unused compositions from the late Beatles era, George crafted material that managed the rare feat of conveying spiritual mysticism without sacrificing his gifts for melody and grand, sweeping arrangements. Enhanced by Phil Spector's lush orchestral production and Harrison's own superb slide guitar, nearly every song is excellent: "Awaiting on You All," "Beware of Darkness," the Dylan collaboration "I'd Have You Anytime," "Isn't It a Pity," and the hit singles "My Sweet Lord" and "What Is Life" are just a few of the highlights. A very moving work, with a very significant flaw: the jams that comprise the final third of the album are entirely dispensable, and have probably only been played once or twice by most of the listeners who own this record. Those same jams, however, played by Eric Clapton, Carl Radle, Bobby Whitlock, and Jim Gordon (all of whom had just come off of touring as part of Delaney & Bonnie's band), proved to be of immense musical importance, precipitating the formation of Derek & the Dominos. Thus, they weren't a total dead end, and may actually be much more to the liking of the latter band's fans. ~ Richie Unterberger & Bruce Eder

Editorial Reviews
...This remains the best Beatles solo album....oozing both the goggle-eyed joy of creative emancipation and the sense of someone pushing himself to the limit...
Mojo

Included in Mojo's Best Reissues of 2001.
Mojo

...His best and most accomplished work...
Alternative Press (20010501)

5 stars out of 5 - ...Rock and religion have rarely, if ever, been so happily conjoined....it remains the single most satisfying collection of any solo Beatle, maybe sounding even fresher for being sidelined so long...
Q (20010301)

...Brighter, remastered sonics....Harrison and Phil Spector's Wall of Krishna Sound is still majestically congested, and the songs are so strong that Harrison would never top them. Even the jams feel refreshing in their looseness... - Rating: A-
Entertainment Weekly (20010126)

4.5 stars out of 5 - ...An album that is simultaneously modest and bold...[it] has stood up well to the passing of time....a bracing air of creative liberation...
Rolling Stone (20001012)

..an intensely personal statement and a grandiose gesture, a triumph...an album of striking honesty and force..
Rolling Stone (19710107)

Great re-mastering by GH! The extra tracks are superb!

Created: 18/04/10
Loved the album since it came out. I knew if Harrison (and his 2nd son, Dani) were involved in re-mastering it, it would be fabulous. The extra tracks, recorded years later, were actually better in many ways than some the originals, which were dominated by the insane Phil Spector's "L.A. Wall of Sound". Hearing GH tell an audience, "This is called..." and then play it acoustically with just the backup he later felt was right (decades later) is great. I love this even more than the original. His own dad, the bus driver who took Paul (McC.) and him to school, certainly steered him in the right direction. He became a true giant, from his music to getting Monty Python's movies started. (A long-time fan, as he put it himself, "I just told my business manager, put up the money. Whatever they need.") For a deep perspective of the human being he was, go to YouTube and see McCartney talking to a BBC TV film crew just after he died ("he was so brave, so strong...we were in grade school together...he was like my baby brother [they were a year apart and Lennon almost didn't let him audition for The Quarrymen because he was only 14 -- though he taught P.Mc. how to play the guitar -- but Paul's parents had a place for them to rehearse]...gave me the strength to cope with his inevitable passing." Yes, all things must pass -- except the music and messages we keep alive. With this album, George Harrison doesn't really pass either -- just his corporeal self in this limited, flawed world. "Daylight is good at arriving at the right time/the cloudburst doesn't last all day."

It was great when I was 12, and it's even better now that I'm in the throws of my mid-life crisis...which will pass.

Thanks George.

George's essential recording

Created: 04/01/10
Few people will disagree that this is George Harrison's best post-Beatles work, and that's my opinion, too. Mostly written during the years preceding the breakup, All Things Must Pass is a grand statement that manages to avoid the preachiness that came later. Lavishly, but not overly produced by Phil Spector, it still sounds great. Bob Dylan fans should be aware that If Not For You and I'd Have You Anytime (the latter is co-written by Dylan and Harrison)are among the highlights. And, of course, the notorious My Sweet Lord, accidentaly plagiarized or not, it's a signature song. This remastered edition includes a handful of new tracks that don't really improve the package, but are still nice to have. You can use the instrumental version of What Is Life for your own karaoke! Seriously, though, any Beatles fan should have this in their collection. George made plenty of recordings after this one, some of which are pretty good, some not, but none as definitive. Essential.

All Things Must Pass (with an A+ Average)

Created: 07/03/11
When the Beatles finally broke up, everyone figured John Lennon and Paul McCartney would compete for best solo artist career. Everyone was wrong. George Harrison knocked the ball out of the park on his first real solo effort, All Things Must Pass. More than a passing grade is deserved for this masterpiece! An absolute gem. Limited to just one song per Beatles album, George Harrison had a reservoir of material stored up. The floodgates were released on this 3 LP offering. Spiritual, personal, and well-crafted melodies make this an excellent use of that much vinyl. Admittedly, the Apple Jam is a little bit much, but almost all of the rest range from listenable to sublime. This 30th anniversary remastered edition IS the definitive version for CD. If you thought The Beatles only had two world-class songwriters, these CDs will change your mind. For all Beatles fans as well as all music fans. All Things may indeed pass, but the glory of this monumental offering will fade as slowly as the images on Mount Rushmore.

Arguably Harrison's finest work.

Created: 03/06/09
I've been listening to a lot of Harrison's solo work lately. The concert in Japan CD is amazing I insist you buy that one as well. This album (All Things Must Pass) was redone or digitally freshened by Harrison in 2000 and songs i.e. outtakes were added. Both albums create a great compilation of George Harrison's solo work.
