Executive produced by Harrison’s son Dhani, the collection will include 70 tracks stretching across five CDs , including 42 previously unheard session outtakes, studio jams and demo recordings.
“Bringing greater sonic clarity to this record was always one of my father’s wishes, and it was something we were working on together right up until he passed in 2001,” Dhani Harrison said in a statement.
The triple LP doubled down on Harrison’s signature style of slide guitar as well as spiritual themes that would continue to appear in his subsequent solo work.
A who’s-who of stars filled up the rest of the session personnel, including a 20-year-old Peter Frampton, Eric Clapton, Pete Ham of Badfinger, Dave Mason of Traffic, Gary Wright, Bobby Whitlock of Derek and the Dominos, Alan White of Yes, Ginger Baker of Cream and more.
All Things Must Pass surpassed Harrison’s former bandmates on the charts, overshadowing John Lennon’s Plastic Ono Band, which was also produced by Spector and released a few months after All Things Must Pass, and Paul McCartney’s Ram, which came out in May 1971.
