All Things Must Pass 50th Anniversary Edition Part 1

George Harrison’s absolute masterpiece (no, not “Gone Troppo”) has been remixed at last, in a deluxe boxed set, and myriad configurations. (Why save for retirement when you can own the #DeluxeGnomeEdition for only $1K?) Regardless of how you listen, it’s clear that the new 50th anniversary edition of “All Things Must Pass” sparkles and shines like never before. To our ears, it’s the definitive way to hear this essential record. 

In Part One of our Deep Dish on this long-awaited reissue, Tony & T.J. delve into this gorgeous package - ahem, #DingDongDingDong - and the stunning Paul Hicks remix of the original triple album. Is this the greatest Beatles-related boxed set to date? We’ll address that and more, including: 

• What if Apple had signed Jackson Browne instead of James Taylor - OR DID THEY?
• Is the computerized soundtrack to the Journey video game better than actual Journey songs?
• Do some songs just sound better when heard from your neighbor’s apartment? (Related: Shut Up, Little Man!)

Part Two arrives next week, where we’ll get into albums four through eight; assuming Tony hasn’t scratched them while DJ’ing in the L.A. club scene.
