GEORGE HARRISON – Deluxe Edition Of Triple LP ‘ALL THINGS MUST PASS’ Out Now
7 August 2021
Artist: GEORGE HARRISON
25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001
Album: ALL THINGS MUST PAST
Released: 27 November 1970 – 50 years ago
George Harrison: “The biggest break in my career was getting
into the Beatles in 1962. The second biggest break since then
is getting out of them.”
Deluxe Edition: The album has been completely mixed from the original tapes and
expanded with 47 (42 previously unreleased) demos and outtakes, allowing listeners
to enjoy and explore the album and the legendary recording sessions like never before.
Decades in the making and lovingly crafted by the Harrison family, the album was remixed to fulfill Harrison’s longtime desire. Executive produced by Dhani Harrison and mixed by triple GRAMMY® Award-winning engineer Paul Hicks (The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, John Lennon), with the product produced by David Zonshine, the new mix transforms the album by sonically upgrading it – making it sound brighter, fuller and better than ever.”
All Things Must Pass 50th Anniversary Edition is available in a variety of formats, including
a limited edition Uber Deluxe Edition box set, an 8LP or 6-disc (5CD + Blu-ray) Super Deluxe Edition, or a 5LP or 3CD Deluxe Edition that pairs the main album with the outtakes and jams. The main album is also available on its own as 2CD, 3LP or limited edition 3LP color vinyl.
Rolling Stone says: “People used to argue whether this triple album
should have been edited down to one or two records – but this edition
makes you believe it should have been a quadruple album.”
