Great news! In 2021 we will be treated to a re-issued and remixed All Things Must Pass which will be "De-Spectorized" and a teaser "single" of the title song "All Things Must Pass" has been released! uk.umusic-online.com/4YS9-1LDR-E52D5CD6505FF1871B8F139E9C8919DC124CB3/cr.aspxHere is the newly re-mixed ATMP where George's lead vocal is clearly brought forward and we can now really hear the steel guitar, bass and drums. It has been re-mixed by Paul Hicks, son of Tony Hicks, lead guitarist of The Hollies, and one-time bandmate to Dhani Harrison. This is exciting! Thoughts?

I still hear some Spector. Hicks isn't terribly aggressive with those mixing bars.

I agree but I am still really enjoying George's lead vocal way up front and actually hearing the guitars, bass and drums much more distinctly. But yeah, the test will be on songs that were really drowned by Spector like "Let It Down" and several others including "Wah Wah." I was never terribly impressed with the 2000 remastering and George was still here to oversee it. I think the Spector Production made it a hard album for remastering to help the sonics. A radical re-mixing is in order as long as we continue to have access to both mixes, original and new.

I ordered the 3 CD version through the uDiscover Music site, using their discount code SUMMER25 which includes free shipping, so I'm getting it for under $20. I can listen to the rest of the outtakes and demos through one of the streaming services.

All Things Must Pass, a great George Harrison song which could have been a great Beatles song.
George was definitely looked on as the third Beatle but some of the treatment he got from Lennon, McCartney and even Martin makes me think they saw him as the turd Beatle.

Olivia and Dhani just sent me this video for the upcoming ATMP re-issue: Have I heard this before, John? I've said I haven't heard something a few times before and you've pointed me back to one of my responses, commenting on the song in question, from a thread a few years back. But this seems new to me.

LOL, I am not sure on this one and in fairness to you Deb, I think I only did that once but it was funny because you turned us on to some really cool song but you forgot that you had a few years later! This is on the original Beware Of Abkco and there George warns Phil Spector that, "This is just full of chorus voices...and stuff." There is even a false start on electric guitar and then George switches to acoustic guitar. It is the happiest melody ever and George sings with such enthusiasm in places. I would have loved for this one to be flushed out more.

Cosmic Empire - I re-listened to my copy of 'Beware of ABKCO!' cd to compare it to the officially released version. The 'ABKCO' version has the vocals in the left channel and the music in the right channel. The new official mix centers both the vocals and the music, giving it a more fuller sound. Definitely looking forward the release of this set.

Old, unemployed Beatle people such as myself can no longer afford to spend money on all these re-releases, hope this George release is a good buy for those that do purchase it.

There should be places we can hear all of it without buying it. We can post such links here as long as it is a legal source like YouTube, etc.

Okay folks, my early opinion is that I am not crazy about the ATMP50 2020 Mixes as they are spotty and the songs are not "De-Spectorized" enough for me!
However, I absolutely love Discs 3, 4 & 5 in the CD/Blu-Ray Box! These sound amazing and are Wall of Sound free!
Rough and Spartan but this is George's Plastic Ono Band version of ATMP!
