George Harrison's All Things Must Pass Sessions: A Treasure Trove of Rare Tracks

George Harrison's All Things Must Pass is widely regarded as one of the best solo albums by a former Beatle. Released in 1970, the triple LP showcased Harrison's songwriting talent and musical diversity, featuring rock, folk, country, gospel and Indian influences. The album also included guest appearances by Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Bob Dylan and members of Badfinger.

But what many fans may not know is that there are dozens of unreleased tracks from the All Things Must Pass sessions that have surfaced over the years on bootlegs and online archives. These tracks reveal the creative process behind the album, as well as some alternate versions, demos and outtakes of songs that made the final cut.

One of the most comprehensive collections of these rare tracks is the All Things Must Pass Sessions (6 CD) set, which can be downloaded for free from the Internet Archive[^1^]. This set contains 69 tracks, spanning over six hours of music. Some of the highlights include:

A demo of \"Run Of The Mill\", one of Harrison's most personal songs, with just his voice and acoustic guitar.

An early take of \"My Sweet Lord\", with a different melody and lyrics.

A rough mix of \"Wah Wah\", with a more raw and rocking sound.

A backing track of \"What Is Life\", with a vocal guide by Harrison.

A demo of \"Behind That Locked Door\", a country ballad dedicated to Bob Dylan.

A take of \"Apple Scruffs\", with Harrison singing and playing harmonica.

A medley of \"Mama, You've Been On My Mind\" by Bob Dylan and \"Apple Scruffs\", with Harrison and Dylan on vocals and guitars.

These tracks offer a fascinating insight into Harrison's artistic vision and musical evolution. They also show how much work and experimentation went into making All Things Must Pass, one of the most celebrated albums of all time.

In 2020, to mark the 50th anniversary of All Things Must Pass, the George Harrison Estate released a new stereo mix of the title track, which was praised by critics and fans for its clarity and warmth. The mix was done by Paul Hicks, who had previously worked on the Beatles' Anthology and Let It Be...Naked projects, as well as John Lennon's Gimme Some Truth box set. Hicks was also entrusted with remixing the entire album and its bonus tracks for the 50th anniversary editions, which were released in August 2021[^2^].

The 50th anniversary editions of All Things Must Pass are available in various formats, ranging from a 2CD or 3LP set to a limited Uber Deluxe Edition that includes eight vinyl records, five CDs, a Blu-ray disc, two books, a poster, a bookmark, replica gnomes and more[^1^]. The editions feature 70 tracks in total, including 47 demos, outtakes and jams, of which 42 are previously unreleased. Some of the notable rarities include:

An early take of \"Awaiting On You All\", with a different chorus and lyrics.

A demo of \"All Things Must Pass\", with just Harrison's voice and piano.

An instrumental jam of \"Out Of The Blue\", with Eric Clapton on lead guitar.

A rehearsal take of \"Isn't It A Pity\", with Harrison and Bob Dylan on vocals and guitars.

A rough mix of \"Hear Me Lord\", with a longer outro and organ solo.

A basic track of \"Down To The River (Rocking Chair Jam)\", a song that was later reworked as \"Rocking Chair In Hawaii\" on Harrison's Brainwashed album.

The 50th anniversary editions also include new hi-res stereo, 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos mixes of the main album on the Blu-ray disc, which bring out new details and nuances in the songs. The mixes were done with Harrison's longtime desire to improve the sound quality of All Things Must Pass, which he felt was too dense and murky due to Phil Spector's production style. Hicks said he tried to respect Harrison's original vision while making the album sound more modern and dynamic[^3^]. aa16f39245
