45 years ago today (1/2/71). George Harrison’s epic solo triple album All Things Must Pass begins a seven-week run at the top of the US albums chart. Recorded and released in 1970, the album was Harrison’s first solo work since the break-up of the Beatles in April that year, and his third solo album overall. It includes the hit singles “My Sweet Lord” and “What Is Life”, as well as songs such as “Isn’t It a Pity” and the title track that were turned down by the Beatles. Watch Harrison perform “Beware of Darkness” live from the Concert For Bangladesh, Madison Square Garden, New York, 08/01/71.
