George Harrison - All Things Must Pass
Moderator: cgarges
Wow. I've always felt the complete opposite. The bootleg of the Glyn Johns acetate I've had always sounded terrible to me. A real mess. Which begs the question - why didn't the Beatles release it as it was originally?I always considered it a masterwork until I heard the rough mixes without all the spector crap on it. Same routine as the get back record.
Well, they knew what they were getting when they HIRED him to work on the records. It's not as if he stole into the vaults to piss on the master tapes when nobody was looking.I wouldnt consider the sound of phil spector to be more important than george harrison alone or the beatles collectively, yet he got in the way of thier sound twice.
Which you can on every GH record post 1971. I love George, but...I want to hear george harrison, not the producer...
*blech*
Yeah. And I never understood what the hell people like Picasso, Monet, Pollock and Debussy were on about either. The cunts!I never understood the praise for Spector's wall of smear, wall of blur, wall of shit... whatever you want to call it.
Totes, votemiles. Harrison ASKED Spector to do the record, he KNEW what it would sound like. Too bad if he later regretted his decision.
To answer the Let it be question - I *think* they (beatles) thought the record was a shitty mess and only agreed that they didn't like it as is. I don't care either way, that's another record I don't listen to.

There are probably several names for the bootleg versions, but I'm only familiar with the ones I've downloaded (I presume legally, since they are boots!). One is called "Beware of ABKCO", and I think it has most of the stuff.
Thinking about it now, I think it is mostly demos - but good demos.
