The remix sounds so much better that it elevates my opinion of the song. The remix sounds like George and the band are in the room with you. They all sound great, especially the last one. It may be better that George was able to keep these songs for his personal vision.įollowing “Isn’t It A Pity” are three more of the album’s best songs… “What Is Life”, “If Not For You”, and “Behind That Locked Door”. By the way, like many of these songs, “Isn’t It A Pity” was written during The Beatles’ time together, but wasn’t seriously worked on by the band.
We’re fully hearing the song for the first time. Now we can hear the individual instruments, and how brilliantly they were used to build up the song as it progresses. The new remix of “Isn’t It A Pity” is especially revealing. “My Sweet Lord” let’s you hear George’s voice and the background chorus like never before. From the first track, the Harrison/Dylan song “I’d Have You Anytime”, the depth and clarity of the voices and instruments are so much better. The improvement in those recordings is impressive.
Paul Hicks was able to do the same thing for John Lennon’s best songs with last year’s collection Gimme Some Truth.ĭespite all the extra demos and outtakes, the most important recordings are the ones on the original album that we’ve known for over 50 years. The 50th Anniversary remix of All Things Must Pass lets us hear George Harrison’s vocals much better than previously, yet the the songs retain the feel of the original arrangements. George’s son Dhani and mixer/engineer Paul Hicks have made that happen. George Harrison said he was tempted to remix the album to lose some of the reverb and “wall of sound” production techniques used by Phil Spector. It’s been 51 years since George Harrison’s best post-Beatles album was released, and now it sounds better than ever! All Things Must Pass…but apparently not this great album.
