Paul McCartney Said George Harrison Had an 'Affectionate' Description For 'All Things Must Pass'
While The Beatles didn’t split until 1970, George Harrison already had ideas for his triple album, All Things Must Pass. He knew he wanted to go forward with his solo career, and Paul McCartney said he had an “affectionate” description for the album that sounded crude but could be considered an accurate metaphor.
While John Lennon and Paul McCartney were the first to announce their departures from The Beatles, George Harrison was the first Beatle to embark on their solo career. He had released two albums before the band split up: Wonderwall Music and Electric Sound. All Thing Must Pass was his third studio album and was a triple album consisting of 23 songs, including unreleased tracks that he wrote when he was with The Beatles, such as “Wah-Wah.” The album includes “My Sweet Lord,” his single that hit No. 1 on the charts, making him the first Beatle to reach that accomplishment alone. The album reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for seven consecutive weeks.
