The third studio album by British musician George Harrison, titled "All Things Must Pass", was released by Apple Records on November 30, 1970, shortly after the dissolution of The Beatles. This work reflected the musical influences that Harrison had developed between 1968 and 1970, alongside his participation in the famous band. It featured the collaboration of musicians such as Eric Clapton, Delaney & Bonnie, and Billy Preston. The album marked a turning point in his career, highlighting his growth as a songwriter beyond the secondary role he had alongside John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and consolidating a spiritual background that would characterize his future work. The recording of "All Things Must Pass" began in May 1970, two months after the breakup of The Beatles, at Abbey Road Studios in London, under the production of Phil Spector. Harrison surrounded himself with friends and prominent musicians, including Eric Clapton, his former bandmate Ringo Starr, Gary Wright, Billy Preston, Klaus Voormann, John Barham, and Pete Drake, among others. The album was innovative in including three vinyl records: two with original songs and a third titled "Apple Jam", which contained musical improvisations. This format made it the first triple album by a rock artist. Following its release, "All Things Must Pass" received positive reviews from both the public and the specialist press. Ben Gerson, of Rolling Stone magazine, described the album's sound as "Wagnerian, Brucknerian, the music of the mountaintop and the vast horizons". Over time, it has been recognized as a precursor to dream pop and has influenced the development of art-rock and progressive folk. Commercially, the album reached number one on the sales charts of several countries, including the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart. In 2001, following its reissue, it was certified six-times platinum by the RIAA. In 2020, Rolling Stone magazine ranked it at number 368 on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. British journalist John Harris noted that the origins of "All Things Must Pass" can be traced back to a visit by Harrison to the United States in late 1968, after the recording sessions for The Beatles' White Album. During his stay in Woodstock in November, Harrison forged a close friendship with American musician Bob Dylan and observed the internal dynamics of the Canadian group The Band, where all members participated equally in musical decisions, in contrast to the dominance of Lennon and McCartney in The Beatles. After this experience, Harrison experienced an increase in his ability to compose and a renewed interest in the guitar, having dedicated three years to studying the sitar with his spiritual guru and friend Ravi Shankar. In addition to being one of the few musicians to co-write songs with Dylan, alongside Robert Hunter and Jacques Levy, Harrison collaborated with Eric Clapton on the song "Badge", a single for Clapton's group Cream, released in the spring of 1969.
