1970 - All Things Must Pass

Even after the success of Abbey Road George was glad to have some time away from being what he felt to be a second tier Beatle. After a short tour with buddy Eric Clapton as backup musicians on the recent Bonnie and Delaney tour George was ready to record another solo album. With Phil Spector producing George gathered a long list of friends and studio musicains to help bring the project to life.

1. My Sweet Lord
2. Wah-Wah
3. What Is Life
4. If Not For You
5. Behind That Locked Door
6. Run Of The Mill

7. Apple Scruffs
8. Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)
9. Awaiting On You All
10. I Dig Love
11. Hear Me Lord
12. All Things Must Pass

Reality Notes:

The original triple album took quite a gouging being robbed of many great songs to be given to three other albums.

We took three songs and one demo/outtake (Art Of Dying, I'd Have You Any Time, Isn't It A Pity and Nowhere To Go) and gave them to the 1968 solo project. We then took two songs and one outtake (Beware Of Darkness, Let It Down and I Live For You) for the 1971 group project. We also assigned the outtake Dehra Dhun to the Anthology 4 album. This left us with twelve songs, a few outtakes and a disc of studio jams.

I left the songs in the order that they appeared on the original album with the exception of All Things Must Pass which was moved to the end of side two.

In the end, like the "White" album, even though we scattered many of the songs, nothing was lost and we actually gained a few songs. We are also going to leave the Apple Jam disc for either a Zapple release or for the bootleggers, either way works for me, the only question concerning a Zapple disc would be when it would be released.
