George Harrison's New 'All Things Must Pass' Box Set: An Exclusive Guide

When George Harrison went into the studio in 1970 to make All Things Must Pass, he was a man on a mission. He’d spent years waiting for this moment. George had so many songs saved up from his years in the Beatles, when he was limited to two or three songs per album. By now, he was sitting on a massive stash of material he was burning to share with the world. So he made sure nobody could ignore his definitive solo statement—the massive triple-vinyl classic All Things Must Pass. All over the album, you can hear the exhilaration as all his pent-up creative energy runs wild. The Quiet Beatle was emerging from the wreckage of the band, but with so much confidence and ambition, he suddenly sounded like the one who had it all figured out.
