Customer Rating:      Summary: All Things Must Pass [DIGI-PAK EDITION Comment: All Things Must Pass [DIGI-PAK EDITION was Harrison's first solo album after the Beatles broke up 1970 and it is a dandy of a record. One wonders why so little of Harrison's tallent was used during his days with the Beatles. Harrison was a surprisingly adept lyricist and a much better vocalist then I was aware of. Yes, the book-let is a strange one. Harrison in purple boots, big brown hat surrounded by gnomes. Harrison has also written a very well-written and thought worthy essay regarding the recording. I love the photographs and one can see that he was a very pensive and cerebral man. This is a recording not to be missed.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Spirit from a Beatle Comment: When the Beatles were recording in the 1960s, those of us who were total fans and knew every album and single word-by-word also knew we were missing out since there never seemed to be enough room for more than maybe one George Harrison song.
After the group split, the album All Things Must Pass proved to be filled with songs Harrison fans had always just known were sitting inside his quiet and spiritual demeanor. George Harrison may not have been able to answer all the big questions but he sure tried - especially in this varied collection.
Customer Rating:      Summary: All Things Must Pass Comment: George really was way too underrated. This album will always be a classic.
Delivered within a few days and in perfect condition. I've played it every day since I received it and love it.
Customer Rating:      Summary: George: The Genius One Comment: Do yourself a favor: buy this album. When it arrives, put everything else aside, get your headphones on, lie on your bed, close your eyes, and listen to it beginning to end. This is an album that deserves to be listened to in one sequence before you start listening to each song individually.
This album is a journey through George's soul, and if you're lucky, your own soul as well. Yes, it's long, but all meditations are long. Listen carefully to the lyrics as you lie there, try to get the imagery in your head.
This is the best album by any solo Beatle. Yes, better than Lennon's "Imagine" and "Plastic Ono Band", better than McCartney's "Band on the Run". Those are phenomenal albums with some great individual songs, but this one stands alone as an experience to be treasured.
The only flaw with this album is that some of the jams at the end are kind of filler. You'll probably only listen to them once. You'll probably be in a trance by then, so it'll be really cool, but once you snap out of it you'll realize that you're hungry and the album is running a bit long. But that's okay, because more is better when it comes to George Harrison. Bless you, George.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Thank you George. Comment: The 30th anniversary boxed-set edition was remastered by George Harrison and is much better than the original 1970 release. As a bonus you get a booklet written by George, explaining his views about the old and new versions. Plus, you get bonus tracks not included on the original release.
This was and is George's best solo album and this version is as good as it gets. As you may know, the original recordings made shortly after the Beatles dissolved, featured Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Klaus Voorman. Dave Mason, Badfinger, Billy Preston, Ginger Baker, Phil Collins, Bary Brooker and others.
I could go on endlessly trying to explain why this album is great and worth purchasing or repurchasing if you still have the original version. All I can say is, spend the twenty dollars. You will not regret it. This album will last a lifetime. Thank you George. We miss you.
