A new ‘Super Deluxe 50th Anniversary Edition’ of George Harrison’s ‘All Things Must Pass’ shows the communal depth behind his masterpiece solo debut.
, a 50-pound beast that comes in a wooden crate and contains two gorgeous books, small models of the gnomes from the album cover, and more goodies. Living in the material world, indeed. The originalhas aged brilliantly . You can all but hear Harrison inventing the indie rock that would dominate college airwaves in the 1980s and Nineties, from friendly, folky tunes to spiritual exploration to blowout jams .
This album could have been released in 1987, 1995, or next Friday, possibly on Merge or Secretly Canadian. Speaking of jams, more than the minimalist psychodrama of Lennon’s, both also released in 1970, Harrison anticipated perfectly the heavy psych-rock of the coming decade. The two CDs of early demos could easily stand on their own; these are spare, campfire-ish takes on which Spector would soon add Wall of Sound bricks. “Cosmic Empire” recalls early T. Rex, while you can imagine Harrison serenading the woman-as-goddess “Mother Divine” at Patti Boyd.
The fifth and final disc is dedicated to full-band outtakes — “Wah-Wah” gets a slightly longer version, while the gorgeous “Isn’t It a Pity” sounds like a group heartbeat and the first take of “What Is Life” somehow sounds even sprightlier. What this glorious collection best drives home is that, while his former bandmates kept their own counsel, Harrison embraced being a member of the rock community and invited them into his head.
