All Things Must Pass was George Harrison's first release following the acrimonious falling apart of the Beatles. Co-produced by the unhinged genius that was Phil Spector, it features his biggest solo hit in the "He's So Fine"-soundalike, "My Sweet Lord". Alongside a laid-back strum through Bob Dylan's "If Not For You", this remastered two-CD set also has the gentle "Isn't It A Pity" and "What is Life"--songs that show a writer enjoying true creative freedom for the first time and exploring his growing devotion to Krishna, outside of Lennon and McCartney's shadow. Ably supported by celebrity mates like Eric Clapton and the redoubtable Ringo Starr, All Things Must Pass is the sound of Harrison breathing out for the first time in 10 years. Moreover, it's conclusive proof that the Beatles were blessed with not just two, but three truly great songwriters. --Billie Swift

All things must pass. George Harrison
Review date: 2010-08-29 Rating: 10 out of 10
I have been promsing to buy myself some of GH's music for years. Now I have and should have done it years ago. I have never heard some of this music, but its all brilliant. You would never think it gose back as far as the 70's. Don't wait like I have done you will be depriving your self.
Harrison's masterpiece

Harrison's solo work never got better than his first album, and here it is the VINYL version of the remastered records: a beautiful box with photo inner sleeves, custom labels (with the garden gnomes) and a LP-sized booklet with George's notes, lyrics and pictures. Excellent.
George Harrison's 'White Album'
Review date: 2009-10-08 Rating: 8 out of 10
Having heard good reports of this album and the odd track I thought I'd take punt and get it.
After several listens my feelings are mixed. There is some out and out brilliance but it's let down by a lack of editing and overproduction.
In many ways it's much like The Beatles' white album... unfocussed and unedited. So let's talk about the good bits... well I'd say that most of the first disc is pretty good... focused with the better tracks towards the start... there is some sublime playing by George as well as Pete Drake on Pedal Steel really adding a new dimension to the sound on some tracks. The Dylan collaborations are excellent too, however venture onto Disc 2 and much of the disc sounds languid and lacking direction. Had George Harrison been more ruthless with his editing and left some of the tracks off this could have been a classic album.
What really lets the whole thing down is the additional jams that ramble on in endless tedium. Much as we love George's guitar work, his forte comes when he plays to structured pieces.
Let's face it... it's always going to be a struggle to produce something of the quality of the Beatles even when you were a quarter of them... and this is far in excess of 25% as good.
Great, Great album - not so great package
Review date: 2009-07-10 Rating: 6 out of 10
Others have already said what a superb album this is - and it is - one of the greats easily. But I think it's worth pointing out that the manner in which the songs are put in on the various CDs to me, ruin the package. I can understand putting the extra songs all at the end, or on a separate CD, but not being able to listen to the album as originally released is highly annoying.
