George Harrison 1st Press OZ 3LP All things must pass NM ’70 STCH639 Apple
Original 1st Press OZ 3LP released in 1970 on Apple Records. Cat: STCH 639. Matrix numbers: YEX 817-1U/ YEX 818-1U/ YEX 819-1U/ YEX 820-1U/ YEX 821-1U/ YEX 822-1U. Comes in full gloss gatefold foldout cover. Also has original foldout poster which is in Near Mint condition. By far the most perfect original Australian copy of this lovely album I’ve ever come across...Every so often Timewarp is lucky enough to come across a special record collection. Over the following weeks I will be listing records from one such collection. Collected mostly during the 1960’s and 70’s this set of records have been well preserved and cared for some dating back to over 50 years old!! Our regular customers will be aware that if we do grade a record at Near Mint expect it to have only been played a handful of times at most and to sound superb. We hope you enjoy the records we will be offering as much as we have in presenting them to you.
Without a doubt, George Harrison's first solo recording, originally issued as a triple album, is his best. Drawing on his backlog of unused compositions from the late Beatles era, Harrison crafted material that managed the rare feat of conveying spiritual mysticism without sacrificing his gifts for melody and grand, sweeping arrangements. Enhanced by Phil Spector's lush orchestral production and Harrison's own superb slide guitar, nearly every song is excellent: "Awaiting on You All," "Beware of Darkness," the Dylan collaboration "I'd Have You Anytime," "Isn't It a Pity," and the hit singles "My Sweet Lord" and "What Is Life" are just a few of the highlights. A very moving work, with a slight flaw: the jams that comprise the final third of the album are somewhat dispensable, and have probably only been played once or twice by most of the listeners who own this record. Those same jams, however, played by Eric Clapton, Carl Radle, Bobby Whitlock, and Jim Gordon (all of whom had just come off of touring as part of Delaney & Bonnie's band), proved to be of immense musical importance, precipitating the formation of Derek & the Dominos. Thus, they weren't a total dead end, and may actually be much more to the liking of the latter band's fans.
Tracks: I’d have you anytime/ My sweet lord/ Was-wah/ Isn’t it a pity (version one)/ What is life/ If not for you/ Behind that locked door/ Let it down/ Run of the mill/ Beware of darkness/ Apple scruggs/ Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp/ (Let it roll)/ Awaiting on you all/ All things must pass/ I dig love/ Art of dying/ Isn’t it a pity (version two)/ Hear me lord/ Out of the blue/ It’s Johnny’s birthday/ Plug me in/ I remember jeep/ Thanks for the pepperoni.
