It contains tons of other great things, including three discs of rarities. On the contrary, I hope this will whet the appetite of George Harrison fans and remind them to buy that. I'd be curious what you think of my use of this program, and if you can tell the difference between the ones I used it one (which are marked with "" in the name) and the ones I didn't.īy posting this, I don't want to take away from sales on the newly released super deluxe edition of the album. But I generally kept the bass at a relatively low volume, for more of a subtle bass presence.Īnyway, the final result, I believe, sounds exactly as if all the songs were demos done just by Harrison and his electric or acoustic guitar. Note I also included the bass on some songs, as I felt having some bass helped cover for some of the sonic imperfections of the Spleeter program.

Even really rocking, full band songs like "What Is Life" now sound like solo guitar demos, though with electric guitar instead of acoustic. So for the purpose of this album, at least, the program worked great. For instance, some of the songs were just vocals, drums, bass, and guitar (with the guitar sometimes electric, sometimes acoustic). But in the case of the "All Things Must Pass" demos, the "other" is usually just guitar. The guitar is lumped in with everything else that isn't vocals, bass, drums, or piano. The one issue I have with the program is that it doesn't specifically separate out the guitar parts into its own track. But this program has come along in the last year, and while it's not perfect - sometimes there's some loss of audio quality - it's way better than anything I've ever seen before. I thought separating out the different instruments in a recording was next to impossible. I tried this for the first time on some "All Things Must Pass" songs, and I was amazed at the results! I plan on using this program a LOT more in the future. This program splits any sound file into five tracks, one containing the vocals, another containing the bass, another the drums, another the piano, and finally one that's everything else. I didn't find any, but during the search I came across an amazing (and free) program I'd never known of before, called Spleeter. I searched the Internet for other acoustic versions. There were interesting demo versions for all of them from the super deluxe edition, both those either included a drummer and bass, or a full rocking band. Out of those, I was able to find acoustic demos for 11 of them, mostly drawing on the super deluxe edition, but also a few other sources, including the album "Early Takes, Volume 1," the Beatles album "Anthology 3," an unreleased take, and an iTunes only bonus track. The first two albums have a total of 18 songs. The third album is a bonus album of jams that I'm going to completely disregard, because those jams have nothing to do with the acoustic format, and they're largely forgettable anyway. The first two albums are full of great songs.
"All Things Must Pass" is a triple album. Well, this takes things in the opposite direction, re-imagining the album strictly as a solo acoustic one! Whatever you think about Spector's production, this allows you to enjoy the album in a different way. The one gripe some people have about "All Things Must Pass" is that the producer, Phil Spector, drenched the album in his typical "Wall of Sound" production that sometimes veered into overproduction. Happily, I figured out a way to turn those into acoustic versions (as I will explain in more detail below). Unfortunately, a handful of songs were rocking, full-band versions. I noticed that edition contained a bunch of acoustic demos, almost enough to make an entire acoustic version of the album.
A few days ago (as I write this), a "super deluxe" edition of that album was officially released. In 1970, George Harrison released "All Things Must Pass," a masterpiece solo album, and some argue, the best Beatles solo album of all.
