It contains many of HarrisonвЂ™s finest moments, including the mournful ballad IsnвЂ™t It a Pity, lilting Americana waltz Behind That Locked Door, melodious Run of the Mill, luminous Beware of Darkness, pleading rocker Hear Me Lord and rip roaring Let It Down. John Lennon is credited with вЂњhandclapsвЂќ on what is most Beatley of all post-Beatles albums, carrying on the rocky spirit of Abbey Road and rootsy immediacy of the White Album (a surprising outtake even offers a snatch of Harrison blasting out McCartneyвЂ™s Get Back).

There is an appealing live resonance to songs recorded in carefully orchestrated takes with a huge assembly of talent including fellow Beatle Ringo Starr on drums, Eric Clapton and Peter Frampton on guitars, Billy Preston on keyboards, plus members of Yes, Traffic, Badfinger, the Rolling StonesвЂ™ horn section and most of ClaptonвЂ™s short-lived band Derek and the Dominoes. It is a work of great energy, joy and dynamism, that essentially sprang from HarrisonвЂ™s palpable excitement at fully realising his own musical identity after years of playing a supporting role to the towering geniuses of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. The good news is that the album still sounds fantastic, with a fresh clarity and separation that comes from ever-so-slightly dialling down SpectorвЂ™s ubiquitous and now rather dated echo effects. It is a potentially sacrilegious move, especially when you consider that Phil Spector, heralded as the greatest producer of his time, worked on the original with Harrison himself. This time around, HarrisonвЂ™s 42-year-old musician son Dahni has gone back to the original tapes and overseen a remix of his fatherвЂ™s masterpiece. Half a century since its release in 1970, and 20 years since the guitaristвЂ™s death, the title songвЂ™s philosophical celebration of the transitory nature of things sounds as gorgeous and meaningful as ever, unironically remarketed for a fourth time (following 30th- and 40th-anniversary editions) as part of a lavish box set. When George Harrison decided to title his first post- Beatles album All Things Must Pass, he clearly wasnвЂ™t considering our apparently endless appetite for nostalgia.
