Description
George Harrison - All Things Must Pass Apple Records STCH 639 1970 Original Pressing
Grading is always subjective especially for a record that is over 50 years old but I will do my best to give you an accurate and honest description as I can. From my own personal collection bought new and lovingly cared for ever since.
I was and still am a massive fan of The Beatles and bought All Things Must Pass as soon as it was released. I was 15 at that time but I treasured my records. As a teenager, I was very fussy about things being correct and altered the lyrics in pen when the written words did not match those sung (see pics). Also wrote "George Harrison" on the back of the poster(see pics)

Overall
Using The GOLDMINE GRADING STANDARD I HAVE RATED IT AS A STRONG VERY GOOD PLUS*
*GOLDMINE GRADING VERY GOOD PLUS
The item will show some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Any defects are of a cosmetic nature and do not affect the actual playback. In theory, a Very Good Plus (VG+) item should sound the same as a Near Mint (NM) one. Surfaces may show some signs of wear, such as slight scuffs or very light scratches, and slight warps that do not affect the sound are okay. Paper products like sleeves will have some wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a small seam-split.
- Release issued with a 36 x 24 poster of George, and each inner sleeve is in a different colour, each containing the lyrics. Record 1 is lilac, Record 2 is tawny, and record 3 is mustard.
- All three inner sleeves have splits at the bottom (see pic). The box is in excellent condition apart from a split in top right corner(see pics)

All Things Must Pass is a triple album by George Harrison. Recorded and released in 1970, the album was Harrison's first solo work since the break-up of The Beatles in April that year. The original vinyl release featured two LPs of rock songs as well as Apple Jam, a third disc of informal jams. Often credited as rock's first triple album, it was in fact the first by a single act, the multi-artist Woodstock live set having preceded it by six months.
In regards to the album's size, Harrison stated: "I didn't have many tunes on Beatles records, so doing an album like All Things Must Pass was like going to the bathroom and letting it out.
The album was critically acclaimed and, with long stays at number 1 in both the US and the UK, commercially successful. It was certified 6x platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in 2001.
All photographs are of the actual box set.
THE BOX SET IS TOO LARGE FOR A REGULAR CARDBOARD LP MAILER BUT WILL BE SECURELY PACKAGED
