I had bought on release All Things Must Pass (ATMP) deluxe set. I turned around and bought the 30th year anniversary version of ATMP overseen by George Harrison. If you want the sonic best version go with this or the original. Save you money and get a used CD or lp. It is great, the newest 60th anniversary is horrible as well as over priced. Glad I found this version at a good price and in excellent condition. Very happy with this one. Now I need to find the vinyl copy of this version.

I bought the original vinyl of this, when it first came out. And now that I have recently finished reading George's ex-wife's biography (Pattie Boyd, a wonderful book by the way) I understand a lot more about the lyrics in this album than I ever did before. Plus I am more mature now and I am amazed at the maturity Harrison showed back then, in his lyrics. Pattie Boyd was an inspiration to both George and Eric Clapton, and thanks to her, I now understand many of Clapton's lyrics as well. But I have been playing an old tape I found, just one of the two, of this album and it reminded me of all the talent that George had, but was never really given the ability to share, by Paul McCartney and John Lennon. And I think this has to do with Lennon actually being the "creator" of the band and partially because George was the youngest, when he joined, and didn't really know how to play an instrument. But he learned his lesson well. He became a fine lyricist and his guitar work is extraordinary. He may not have started out of the gate as a great musician but he grew into one. As far as I am concerned, his spirituality, his misgivings about his life, his marriage, his insecurities, his hopes, dreams are all revealed in this album of music. It is magical to listen to.Read full review
While this certainly is not the greatest effort put forth by an ex-Beatle, it should merit some attention, since it's George Harrison's best. This was the first proper solo album from Harrison and had a worldwide smash with the single "My Sweet Lord". There are some really good songs like "What is Life?", "I'd Have You Anytime", "Wah Wah" and much more. The downside of this album is the over-production from maniac Phil Spector, his penchant for reverb have some songs sounding like a huge mess of sound. Also George's bright idea of a half an hour of jams at the end of disc 2 is a big waste of time. The bonus tracks are great though!
Full of great songs, this is a great album. I agree the inclusion of the apple jams was not the greatest idea, but its a nice experiment of some great musicians having a blast playing with each other. The packaging is awesome, and the intro by George in the booklet is marvelous. I never listened to the original version, but this sounds as good as if it was new, although i dont like the mix of one of my favorite tracks: "Wah-wah" the voice is really unclear with all the reverb and instrumentation on top of it. I like the extra tracks, im not so fond of My sweet lord 2000 tho. All in all, a must have album
Not a lightweight album. Course I grew up with it so I'm bonded. His writing basically that wasn't used by the Beatles. Early stuff.
