All of the studio recordings have been dramatically remixed, dialing back the overwrought reverb from Phil Spector's original production (an approach that Harrison wanted for the 30th, but demurred on) and making numerous other tweaks throughout. The album's original running order is restored here, but that's where fealty to the original All Things Must Pass ends. However, it was again remastered 10 years later, and now, a half-century after it was originally released, we are getting even more bonus tracks, another remastering, and, perhaps most notably, a brand new mix. That earlier edition tweaked the album's running order for the sake of CD sequencing, tacked on a good selection of bonus tracks, and was remastered under Harrison's guidance, making it feel like a definitive statement. But for an album that was already seen as sprawling on its original release, it's simultaneously surprising and appropriate that there was enough unreleased and complementary material to fill up this expansive new edition beyond what had already been included on the 30th anniversary edition. With four LP sides of gentle, spiritual, and highly melodic songcraft and two more of loose, muscular rock jams, it was a consummate expression of everything that Harrison had creatively held onto during the Beatles years. When it was originally released in 1971, George Harrison's first solo rock album managed the impressive feat of being both expansive and consistent.
