GEORGE HARRISON
ALL THINGS MUST PASS
His masterpiece.
Produced by Phil Spector
George was only allowed one to two tracks of his own work per Beatles album. And so, following the band's break-up in 1970 he had a pent-up payload of songs ready for release. For a producer he turned to the maestro of "the wall of sound", Phil Spector. His influence is heavy on some tracks especially 'Awaiting On You All'. Interestingly, a portion of the lyrics for this song are omitted on the record sleeves. The line "While the Pope owns 51% of General Motors. And the stock exchange is the only thing he's qualified to quote us" was excised as too controversial. My, how times have changed.
Record Condition
Completely play tested through all 6 sides...
Sides 1 - 4 > The body of the songs are clear and crisp with remarkable clarity. There is very light surface noise heard between tracks
in the dead wax. Occasionally, but very infrequently, it may be heard during a song but it is uncommon and not distracting at all.
Sides 5 & 6 > Near pristine throughout.
The cover is quite presentable. No surface wear seen on the cover photo although there is light age wear in the "sky line" above the trees.
There are no splits at the corners
Original inner sleeves with song lyrics included.
Almost all records sold on ebay are rated visually. While this is a useful process for obvious flaws, such as scratches and rubs, it fails to detect hidden sound problems. What cannot be seen with the eye are tiny particles of dust and grit that are often lodged deep in the groove. These particles cause what is called 'crackle' which sounds somewhat like the sound frying bacon makes while cooking. Normal cleaning methods will not dislodge the grit that causes this problem. The only way then to accurately rate record quality, simply put, is to play it. I am a low volume seller and take the time to thoroughly test the sound quality of records. All records up for sale are play tested. I strive for accurate description of sound quality. Any record with excessive background noise is rejected and not offered for sale.
All records are packaged in a commercial record mailer. Records are removed from the cover before packing to prevent seam splits during mailing. In the case of a single album, the record and cover are placed in a plastic sleeve. They are protected by the ample use of bubble wrap. If more than one album is won, the albums and records are tightly wrapped in cellophane to prevent shifting and are also protected by bubble wrap. The outside of the package is clearly stamped as 'FRAGILE' and 'DO NOT BEND'
Media mail shipping is $4.00 An additional individual album may be combined with minor additional shipping charges. Shipping discount up to 4 records. Additional record purchases will be packaged and charged separately with original mailing costs. This is due to limited record mailer depth. Record albums and books may not be combined for shipping due to their different configurations.
You may return any album that does not play to your satisfaction. However, please email me with any problems you have in this regard before return. All albums must be returned in the time alloted and in the same condition and manner as they were shipped. This applies to individual Lps and lots. However, you may not split up lots for a partial refund. I will reimburse your purchase price and original mailing cost. Return mailing cost is the responsibility of the customer. I package records with great care and ship with delivery confirmation. I have shipped thousands of records without breakage or loss and the USPS does a great job with delivery
