According to Scott, he and Harrison worked alone for "weeks and months" on the overdubs, as Harrison recorded the backing vocals and lead guitar parts.

With the legendary Phil Spector co-producing and employing the talents of George's superstar friends such as: Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Badfinger, Gary Brooker, long standing Beatles friend Klaus Voorman and sax player for the stones Bobby Keys, George set about recording what would be his most successful album of his solo career, and his biggest hit single "My Sweet Lord". Among Harrison's biographers, Simon Leng views All Things Must Pass as a "paradox of an album": as eager as Harrison was to break free from his identity as a Beatle, Leng suggests, many of the songs document the " Kafkaesque chain of events" of life within the band and so added to the "mythologized history" he was looking to escape.Wilkes had designed a more adventurous poster, but according to Beatles author Bruce Spizer, Harrison was uncomfortable with the imagery.

In music journalist David Cavanagh's description, once abandoned by his co-producer midway through the summer, Harrison had "proceeded to out-Spector Spector" through the addition of further echo and multiple overdubs. Also writing in 2011, Lennon and Harrison biographer Gary Tillery describes it as "the most successful album ever released by an ex-Beatle". The collection contains a beautiful 60-page scrapbook curated by Olivia Harrison, with unseen imagery and memorabilia from the era, handwritten lyrics, diary entries, studio notes, tape box images, a comprehensive track-by-track and more. Co-producer Phil Spector employed his Wall of Sound production technique to notable effect; Ben Gerson of Rolling Stone described the sound as " Wagnerian, Brucknerian, the music of mountain tops and vast horizons". I used to think of Wah, Wah as just a mess of noise and while I would like it tighter still, it is actually quite enjoyable to listen to on this version.I’m not completely adverse to the sound of the remix as I did really enjoy George’s increased vocals and more detail, but I felt it lost some of the weight, presence and nuance of the original; I also noticed considerable amounts of distortion on the busier moments of tracks like ‘isn’t it a pity’ and ‘let it down’ which sounded compressed and muddy. But what he left us was a crisp, clear sounding copy of the album with five additional tracks including a re-working of "My Sweet Lord" with some stunning vocals by Sam Brown. In celebration of the 50th Anniversary, George Harrison’s, All Things Must Pass, is celebrated with a suite of new releases highlighted by a stunning new mix of the classic album by Grammy Award-winning mixer/engineer Paul Hicks, overseen by executive producer Dhani Harrison.

Drake's visit to London also impacted on Frampton's career, as he went on to adopt Drake's talking-box guitar effect. The Super Deluxe Edition CD collects 70 tracks across 5 CDs including 47 (42 previously unreleased) demo recordings, session outtakes and studio jams all housed in a beautiful slipcase.A series of elegies, dream sequences, and thoughts on the limits of idealism, it is arguably the most fully realized solo statement from any of the Beatles. Part of the reason for this was Harrison's need to make regular visits to Liverpool to tend to his mother, who had been diagnosed with cancer. That the Quiet Beatle was capable of such range", Rodriguez continues, "from the joyful 'What Is Life' to the meditative 'Isn't It a Pity' to the steamrolling 'Art of Dying' to the playful 'I Dig Love' – was revelatory. In his PopMatters review, John Bergstrom likens All Things Must Pass to "the sound of Harrison exhaling", adding: "He was quite possibly the only Beatle who was completely satisfied with the Beatles being gone.
