'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' is the best song I ever heard.' 'He was a big idol of mine,' Freedman said. The card said, 'My guitar will gently weep forever. Kym Freedman, 17, came with her 16-year-old friend, Natalie West, to leave a bouquet of yellow roses. I don’t think that those conditions come around maybe once in a lifetime for an artist.Some fans and neighbors brought bouquets to the gates of Friar Park, Harrison's Victorian mansion at Henley-on-Thames, west of London. “It’s a family time capsule and there’s so much love in it,” said Dhani Harrison. The All Things Must Pass recording sessions began just six weeks after the April 1970 announcement of The Beatles’ break-up and the younger Harrison notes that his father was going through a lot during that time: In addition to the band’s break-up, he lost his mother and he was also leaving a lover. “It was incredible to hear Eric say how hard it was because that’s a guy that doesn’t find playing guitar very hard.” He learned that Clapton struggled at times to play Harrison’s notes. The younger Harrison also investigated stories behind the songs, like the album opener, I’d Have You Any Time. “It was a pretty mean squad of people that he recruited, you know what I mean? Like, he wasn’t messing around with this record,” said Harrison. Harrison collected quite a roster of musicians to help him on All Things Must Pass, including Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett, Pete Drake and even a young Phil Collins (whose bongo work never made the album). So we really wanted to show a lighter side to some of the content.” “We wanted to show that the guys were having fun,” said Hicks. Harrison and Hicks have dubbed Disc 5, which contains session outtakes and jams, the “party disc.” And during the 14th take of Isn’t It a Pity, a fed-up artist goes off-script to instead sing: “Isn’t it a pain/Why we do so many takes?” The demos reveal the origin of a very rootsy Woman Don’t You Cry For Me, which would become the opening track of his 1976 album, Thirty Three & 1/3. There’s also Harrison’s recording of It’s Johnny’s Birthday, a gift to mark John Lennon’s 30th birthday. His Going Down to Golders Green is Harrison doing his very best Elvis impression, a real treat. He’s captured asking for orange juice - while playing a very cool version of Get Back.

“What we were looking for was the ones that really stood out and that really screamed something new,” said Harrison.Ī very human George Harrison - who died at age 58 in 2001 - can also be heard in the mix. Instead, he wanted to bring the listener into the recording process to hear how the songs had evolved. He recalled once listening to a Beach Boys box set that had 10 versions of every song and didn’t want to go that route. They emerged from the vault with some 110 different songs and Harrison and his team had to decide how to present what he’d found. It was an ever deeper dive than the 30th and 40th anniversary reissues. The 1970 session tapes produced 25 hours of music, including several songs that didn’t make the album like Cosmic Empire, Going Down To Golders Green, Dehra Dun, Sour Milk Sea and Mother Divine.ĭhani Harrison and Hicks started work on the anniversary editions five years ago, re-digitizing and listening to every song and every take made during the sessions. The original 23-track album - complete with hits Isn’t It a Pity, What Is Life and My Sweet Lord - has been remixed for the anniversary editions from Capitol/UMe and are now augmented with 47 demos and outtakes, 42 of them previously unreleased.
