The key issue with "All Things Must Pass" is a perception, based on the opinions of so-called music "experts", that time has not treated it very well. The songs are dated, they say; that it feels like a museum piece. It's a human nature thing, I guess; say something enough and people just start believing it. And, based on the liner notes, George himself is no exception. He speaks of production that "seemed appropriate at the time" and how difficult it was to resist re-mixing every track for the CD package. What comes across is how precious this album is to him, and how desperately he wants to preserve it for history - to undo the "crime" of that damn production. He has struggled, it seems, with how much he should tamper with it. For George, these are songs that he thinks of a certain way, and the Spectorized treatment of them does not always match with his own perceptions. He tries to clue us in to this with the bonus tracks included on the first CD. He has rid these tracks of ALL reverb whatsoever - the production is very raw. As if he's saying, "See, this is what it really should sound like". It is interesting to think of how it all could be different - if you listen to "I Live For You", the logical extension is to think of how a song like "Awaiting On You All", a titanic wall of sound if there ever was one, would fare with the alternative treatment.
The fact is, though, that this is all a bunch of nonsense.
The songs sound great - or rather, the great songs sound great. "I'd Have You Anytime", "My Sweet Lord", "Beware of Darkness", "All Things Must Pass", just to name the most obvious, are simply perfect. Any other production would be a detriment, contrary to the prevailing school of thought. And that's one key point: this is not a perfect album. MOST of the songs are good or great, but not all, and no matter what the production the lessor tunes were not headed for immortality. If I had the chance to talk to George myself, I'd tell him to let it go - this is a beautiful record, warts and all (as they say), and there's no need to change a thing. What comes to mind is something Duke Ellington said in a film clip in the last installment of the Ken Burns "Jazz" program. When asked what piece of music of his was his favorite, he instantly replied, "The one I'm writing tomorrow, always!" Go out and make another masterpiece tomorrow, George, and be proud of All Things Must Pass for the great achievement it is. Let it be.
There's also been a little talk about the paucity of liner notes from George. But frankly, I'm a member of the "enough anthologies" crowd. There's no need to put this under the microscope and dissect it. Just listen to the music - that's the message. The minimalism makes the little things, like George poking fun at his Liverpudlian accent, "Let your `hur' hang all around me", stand out a little more. And the cover on the booklet, with the freeway, skyscrapers and nuclear towers? - hysterical! How very, well, Beatle-esque!
One additional note: if you were looking for the lyrics for that one verse in "Awaiting On You All", you won't find it. Radio announcer Richard Neer will still always be able to find work answering that bit of trivia!
All in all, a loving treatment of a great record by George Harrison.
SUMMARY OF REMIX (first 3 LPs in the 8-LP set), SESSIONS/JAMS (“PARTY”) DISC (last two LPs in the 8-LP set), and LINER NOTES: “ATMP” is a masterful album that shows George Harrison exuding confidence as a songwriter and a group leader following a decade in the shadow of Lennon and McCartney. As an artifact of and reflection on his then-5-year journey of spiritual growth and transformation, the album is characterized by paradox (maturity and enlightenment on one hand; playfulness and catharsis on the other) and has inspired generations of listeners to engage in their own inner work. That said, it strikes me as no cosmic accident that this remix was delivered in the midst of a troubled moment in human history.
The remix is a treat! Though the Wall of Sound is still somewhat present due to the way multiple instruments were combined on a single track on the original 8-track tapes, with the reverb and polish greatly de-emphasized, the sound is much more organic and therefore gives the raw power of George’s voice and the richness of his intricate weaving of moods, atmospheres, and genres new space to flourish. The remix draws out fresh definition in George's transcendental guitar playing and reveals complexities in his self-harmonies and in the instrumentation. And there are plenty of pleasant surprises that were either buried in or missing from the original mix. (For each of these points, please consult my full review of the 3-CD set for examples and specifics.)
The sessions/jams disc (spread over 2 LPs in the 8-LP set and referred to as the “party disc") has been thoughtfully selected and sequenced as an album with its own narrative structure. (It’s a real improvement over the tedious repetition on Midnight Beat’s “Making of ATMP” 3-CD set as well as the Lennon “Ultimate Mixes” sets.) It captures the fun spirit of the recording sessions, showcases the evolution of several songs, reveals the raw power of as well as subtleties in the rhythm section (with the absence of overdubs), and serves up a generous portion of impromptu performances. (Again, please consult my full review of the 3-CD set for examples and specifics.)
The liner notes feature a dialogue between Dhani Harrison (who provides some thoughtful reflections on the process of creating the album and the paradoxes and complexity of moods it expresses) and Paul Hicks (who draws attention to a couple of the aforementioned surprises in the remix that, as he notes, once heard, cannot be unheard). I was heartened by their emphasizing that their intention was not to “de-Spector-ize” the album but rather to offer a counterpart to the original. They deserve many kudos and thanks for this project.
Now, on to more about the 8-LP set….
CD vs. VINYL: During the pre-order phase earlier this summer, I originally held off from purchasing a vinyl copy given that the 3-CD edition (“ATMP” and “Apple Jam” on 2 CDs plus the sessions/jams disc) cost $25 whereas the 3-LP edition of only the remix (with no sessions/jams) was $65. I also wanted to hear both the remix and the sessions/jams disc before I committed to dropping money on any of the costly vinyl editions. However, after hearing only about ¾ of “I’d Have You Anytime” on the CD, I was sold on the remix and knew that a vinyl purchase was imminent. And, I thought, if it sounded that good on an overly-compressed CD (more about this below), and if my experience with the ’12 Beatles vinyl remasters compared to the ’09 CDs was any indication, I imagined that the vinyl would be stellar! From there, after hearing the first half of the sessions/jams disc, I knew I wanted to hear more and couldn’t settle on just the 3-LP (album-only) vinyl set—so I decided to upgrade to the 8-LP set with the added 3 LPs of May ’70 demos. (I’ve also kept the CD copy for car trips.)
As predicted, the sound of the “ATMP” remix on vinyl is FAR superior to the CD—MUCH cleaner, fuller, and rounder. It’s worth noting that, when listening to the LP, I needed to turn the volume up to -30 to arrive at the same loudness as what the CD reproduced at -55. (For a basis of comparison, I usually play most LPs at -40 and most CDs around -50.) While some have complained about the need to turn up the LP, on the contrary, I think that shows just how much the CD is compressed. Also, for the sake of comparison, many of my original pressings of Beatles LPs (including my ’70 copy of “ATMP”) need to be turned up. I’m pretty certain that has more to do with EMI’s strict engineering specifications during the original sessions (discussed in Geoff Emerick’s “Here, There, and Everywhere”) than the mastering of the remix/remaster editions. There was no loudness war in those days, and recording parameters were set to prevent needle jumping and other fidelity issues on the equipment of the time. That said, also remember that the first run of “Rubber Soul” was recalled because the master was deemed too “loud.”
DEMOS: The demos are wonderful. They include over a dozen songs that didn’t make it past the sketchbook phase of the album sessions: songs written at Maharishi’s meditation retreat and based on George’s affiliation with the Radha Krishna Temple, as well as an otherwise-unrecorded Dylan song from the late 60s, among others. Half of the demos were made with Billy Preston, Ringo, and Klaus Voorman and have a slight “Plastic Ono Band” feel in their simplicity. The other half include solo acoustic readings of songs like “Let It Down” and “Art of Dying” that received a louder, punchier, large band treatment on the final album, as well as a more subtle "I Live for You" without Pete Drake's weeping pedal steel and “My Sweet Lord” with the ink still drying on the paper.
BOOK: In addition to Dhani and Hicks’ aforementioned dialogue, the book in the 8-LP edition includes details about the inspiration for and development of each song on the album. Some have argued that more material should have been included for the price of admission; while I generally agree, the information provided is (a) VERY insightful and (b) down to earth (whereas, in comparison, the author of the book that came with the Lennon “Plastic Ono” set tended to lose the forest for the trees. Too bad that a third author couldn’t have been hired that so both books could come out more in the center). In any case, for just a couple of examples, the book in the Harrison set sheds light on why the last song on the album was titled “Thanks for the Pepperoni” and on why the “Apple Jam” tracks were not remixed (among other reasons, it would have been impossible to remix “I Remember Jeep” because, with all 8 tracks on the multitrack tape being full, George’s Moog part had been recorded live onto the master tape). The book also includes several photos and artifacts not included in the 3-CD set. Among my favorites is George’s thank-you note to Bob Dylan for hosting him in ’68 (which resulted in their writing “I’d Have You Anytime” together) that, combined with the songs on "ATMP," really reveals George’s humanity.
NOW, DESPITE ALL THAT, HERE’S THE DOWNSIDE: My biggest complaint about the vinyl set is the poor quality control. Another reason I’d been hesitant to drop over $150 for a vinyl set was my awareness of all the problems with inferior vinyl manufacturing during the last decade. Unfortunately, my intuition was confirmed with the first copy I received. Both sides of all 8 of the discs arrived covered in dust and paper flakes (which resulted in noticeable snap/crackle/pop on the last songs on both sides of Disc 2). Moreover, 7 of the LPs had spindle holes that were too small, 2 of the LPs were severely warped on arrival (one could not be held down with a 15oz record weight, and the other still made my tone arm bobble with the weight on), and another 4 discs were moderately dish-warped. Further, the box that houses the 3 “ATMP” LPs had 3x 4" streaks on the back and glue smudges on the front. Without going into more of a soapbox about the unacceptability of quality control in our late capitalistic society (which extends far beyond the production of records), I’ll just say that I am happy that, with no questions asked, Amazon shipped a replacement set and had UPS pick up the defective copy without charge.
UPDATE ABOUT REPLACEMENT COPY: The replacement copy arrived in 2 days and is just wonderful. While 4 of the 8 LPs still have slight dish-warping, (a) it is *nothing* compared to the first set (and is not any better or worse than today's average new 180g LP), and (b) with a record weight, the discs lay perfectly flat and even on the turntable and play with no substantial tone arm movement. Moreover, the spindle holes are just the right size, and while there are still some dust/paper flakes on the disc surfaces (almost inevitable these days), it is substantially less and there is no snap/crackle/pop other than what is normative in the dead wax. Also, there are no streaks/smudges on the boxes. One minor complaint is that the earth-tone lyric sheet sleeves are cut too small to use as jackets for the individual discs. (After cleaning each of the records with my Record Doctor and replacing the standard-issue inner sleeves with rice paper sleeves, I'd hoped to slide those into the lyric sheet sleeves for an extra layer of protection as well as easier access with there being so many discs in the box. C'est la vie.)
All things considered, while I know that some defective copies are inevitable, I find it unacceptable that having so many of them floating around has become the norm these days. (As George sang, "Beware of greedy leaders"!) My understanding is that dish-warping tends to be caused by not giving the LP ample time to cool during fast-paced production. That said, bringing things full circle, again, this remix comes at a very pivotal moment in human history as both a reminder of the collective need to slow down and a modeling of an I-Thou (versus I-it) way of being.
