GEORGE HARRISON All Things Must Pass (Apple STCH 639) RARE we believe this to be a 1st Pressing!
RARE very first pressing of George Harrison`s mesmerising solo debut "All Things Must Pass" on Apple Records (November 1970).
"But the heart of All Things Must Pass resides in its songs of spiritual acceptance. The title was thought to refer, among other things, to Harrison's former band, the likely subject also of the elegiac "Isn't It a Pity." The haunting "Beware of Darkness" suggests the inner fears -- "The hopelessness around you in the dead of night" -- that Harrison's religious searching was meant to calm. And "Awaiting on You All," the title track and "My Sweet Lord" (for which Harrison was successfully sued for "subconsciously" plagiarizing the Chiffons' "He's So Fine") capture the sweet satisfactions of faith.
Sonically, All Things Must Pass finds producer Phil Spector in top form. In order to bolster the confidence of the "quiet Beatle" -- and compensate for the thinness of his voice -- Spector employs strings, horns, multiple guitars and swelling background vocals. This gentler Wall of Sound not only makes the most of Harrison's melodic flair but matches the aspiration of his songs with arrangements that seem to rise to the very heavens. The result is an album that is simultaneously modest and bold -- and that, despite its title, has stood up well to the passing of time." - Anthony Decurtis, Rolling Stone, October 2000.
