History

The outpouring of such consistently great material on All Things Must Pass took many critics by surprise, with Harrison having long been overshadowed by the talents of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, despite the fact that some of his later period Beatles inclusions ("While My Guitar Gently Weeps," "Something," and "Here Comes the Sun") were hailed as highlights of their respective albums. Consequently, as Harrison had only placed just a few songs on any given Beatles album, he had amassed many compositions by their break-up, enabling him to offload many of them in one go on All Things Must Pass. John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (October 9, 1940 – December 8, 1980), (born John Winston Lennon, known as John Ono Lennon) was an iconic English 20th century rock and roll songwriter and singer, best known as the founding member of The Beatles. ...

This article is about the song by The Beatles. ...

Recorded from May to August 1970 at Abbey Road Studios, and then further recording and mixing at Trident Studios from August to September 1970, Harrison enlisted the aid of Phil Spector to co-produce the album, giving All Things Must Pass a heavy and reverb-oriented sound, typical for a 1960s/1970s Spector production — but a sound Harrison would subsequently regret with the passage of time. In the EPK that accompanies the 30th Anniversary reissue George is asked what he thinks of the album now thirty years later and he says, "...too much echo." Before recording the album Harrison sat in a studio with Spector and ran through a number of songs accompanied just by his guitar. Besides songs that would eventually make the album such as "Beware of Darkness" and If Not for You, the tape (eventually bootlegged as "Beware of ABKCO") included unreleased songs as well as songs that would turn up later in Harrison's career - "I Don't Wanna Do It," "Everybody Nobody," "Window Window" and more. "Beware of Darkness" and "Let It Down" from these May 1970 sessions would eventually be released on the remastered All Things Must Pass. Full discs of electric outtakes from the recording sessions would also leak on bootlegs in later years, and some of those tracks were also included in the remaster. Multiple takes of songs from the album appear on a three-disc box set The Making of All Things Must Pass along with other releases.

All Things Must Pass' lead single was "My Sweet Lord" — which proved an enormously popular recording, reaching #1 worldwide, earned Harrison a copyright infringement suit from the publishers of The Chiffons's 1963 hit "He's So Fine" — a grievance that would not be settled for years. (A judge later found that Harrison had unintentionally copied the earlier song; this prompted Harrison to later write "This Song".) The album itself reached #1 in the UK for eight weeks, and spent seven weeks at the top in the the U.S., where it was certified six times platinum, making All Things Must Pass Harrison's most commercially successful and generally best-loved album.

A remastered edition of All Things Must Pass, supervised by Harrison, was released in 2001, just months before his death; it contained bonus tracks, including a partially re-recorded additional version of "My Sweet Lord". It also included a newly colourised version of the originally monochrome cover. With the original version of the album being concurrently deleted, the remastered edition of All Things Must Pass is the only commercially available version of the release.

On July 29, 2006, The Official UK Charts company changed their records because there was a postal strike when the album had originally been on the charts. Since record retailers had to send in records of how many records had been sold, they could not during an eight-week period in 1971. All Things Must Pass, which had originally peaked at number 4 (with Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water at number one), now has been given the number one spot for all eight weeks.^[3] is the 210th day of the year (211th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...
