George Harrison‘s 1970 album All Things Must Pass will be reissued in August for a belated 50th anniversary edition and will be available in SEVEN different physical editions including an ‘Uber Deluxe Edition’ which comes in wooden crate and contains everything…and more!

Paul Hicks – the mixer/engineer who has worked on the Lennon reissues – has created a new mix of All Things Must Pass, overseen by George’s son Dhani, who is executive producer on this project. There is a new stereo mix, a surround mix and a Dolby Atmos mix of the album. The new stereo mix replaces the original album mix on every format. Speaking of which here are the formats:

  1. Uber Deluxe Edition: 8LP+5CD+blu-ray. Comes in a wooden crate with books, figurines, Klaus Voorman illustration and more.
  2. Super Deluxe Edition (CD): 5CD+blu-ray. Original album, plus 3CDs of demos and outtakes, plus a blu-ray with the surround mixes
  3. Super Deluxe Edition (vinyl): 8LP. Original album plus 5LPs of outtakes/demos
  4. Deluxe Edition (vinyl): 5LP. Original album plus 2LPs of outtakes (no demos)
  5. Deluxe Edition (CD): 3CDs. Original album plus an extra discs of outtakes. Comes in a little box.
  6. Standard Edition (vinyl): 3LP set featuring the new mix of the album. This is available on black vinyl and green splatter coloured vinyl
  7. Standard Edition (CD): 2CD set featuring new mix of the album. Gatefold card sleeve presentation.

The Uber Deluxe and both 8LP vinyl and 5CD+blu-ray Super Deluxe Editions contain 70 audio tracks. There are 23 tracks on the original album, so that leaves 47 demo recordings, session outtakes and studio jams, of which 42 are previously unreleased. On the CD edition the three bonus discs are split into two discs of demos (‘day 1’ and ‘day 2’) and a third disc of outtakes.

The 5CD+blu-ray super deluxe edition comes in a slipcase with a 56-page scrapbook curated by Olivia Harrison, with unseen imagery and memorabilia from the era, handwritten lyrics, diary entries, studio notes, tape box images, a comprehensive track-by-track and more. It also includes a replica of the original album poster (all formats have the poster).

The 8LP super deluxe has all the tracks from the 5CD set and a 60-page scrapbook with the same contents as above.

The 5LP deluxe edition is the remixed album with two bonus LPs which are the Session Outtakes & Jams. In other words, CD 5 from the super deluxe, or LPs 7 & 8 from the 8LP vinyl super deluxe.

The ‘uber deluxe’ has an “elaborate and expanded” version of the scrapbook and includes a second book (44 pages) chronicling the making of All Things Must Pass through extensive archival interviews with notes. This also comes with a wooden bookmark made from a felled Oak tree (Quercus Robur) in George’s Friar Park, the 1/6 scale replica figurines of Harrison and the gnomes featured on the album cover, a limited edition illustration by musician and artist Klaus Voorman, a copy of Paramahansa Yogananda’s “Light from the Great Ones”, Rudraksha beads contained in individual custom-made boxes and the poster.

All Things Must Pass 50th anniversary edition will be released on 6 August 2021. The SDE widgets below cover all seven physical editions except for the ‘Uber Deluxe’ which is available via the official George Harrison store in the UK or the official store in the USA.
