If I ever make another mixtape I'm putting "Behind That Locked Door" on it.
Which one of the long jams has the "Electronic Sound" samples wailing away obliviously in the background? "I Remember Jeep"? "Thanks For The Pepperoni"? Either way, a pretty daft artistic choice - not unlike that Spooky Tooth album from the same year.

Since no one has mentioned it yet, let me put in a vote for the comparatively-low-key-but-still-somehow-epic "Let It Down." A perfect example of the buried gem that doesn't hit you right away while you're enjoying the more obviously great songs.

Was just digging around Christgau's site and stumbled on his review of ATMP. Has he ever been more wrong than this about anything?
All Things Must Pass [Apple, 1970]As a slave of the very "MAYA" (pidgin Hindi for the concrete world) Harrison warns against, I am obliged to point out that playing headsie with the Universal Mind is not introspection and that the International Pop Music Community is not a group. Presumably, the featurelessness of these three discs--right down to the anonymity of the multitracked vocals--reflects Harrison's notion of Truth, and he's welcome to it. But he's never been good for more than two songs per album, and after "My Sweet Lord" I start to get stuck. C
― medelman, Sunday, 20 February 2011 08:14 (2 years ago) Permalink
It's not a C, but it deserves no higher than a B+ or B. And most of George's other records are irredeemable.
― Rich Lolwry (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 20 February 2011 13:25 (2 years ago) Permalink
The "only 2 good songs per album" jibe holds for some of his others, its true, but never for ATMP. I'm especially fond of Simply Shady from Dark Horse, but its surrounded by tedious jams.
― Dr X O'Skeleton, Sunday, 20 February 2011 13:29 (2 years ago) Permalink
Irredeemable is a bit harsh. George lends himself to a S/D thread because there are great songs - if you're into melancholia with a spiritual edge - across his solo albums, amongst a bit of filler, e.g
Living in The Material World:
- That is All- The Light that has Lighted the World
Extra Texture:
- The Answer's at the End- World of Stone- Can't Stop Thinking about You
― Bob Six, Sunday, 20 February 2011 13:37 (2 years ago) Permalink
Aside from "Don't Let Me Wait Too Long," "Blow Away," and Cloud Nine (the only one I love end to end), I think the guy really needed collaborators.

Or if you're into George as a pop song writer, there's lots of good stuff on his Dark Horse-era LPs (especially 33 1/3, the self-titled album, and Gone Troppo). Unless someone happens to be a big Jeff Lynne fan, I'm not sure how Cloud Nine is substantially different from those.

Unless someone happens to be a big Jeff Lynne fan
Not expressing myself right here. I AM a big Jeff Lynne fan. But Alfred, I don't hear Cloud Nine as being much more of an example of Harrison working with collaborators than the albums that preceded it.
There's a real style that comes to the fore on 33 1/3 and it very much has to do with the people playing on those records. And, of course, of couple of them had co-producers, too: Russ Titelman, Ray Cooper. Co-writing with Gary Wright on the self-titled album (the excellent "If You Believe").
As for George's own production, I think the crispness of 33 1/3 is really cool coming after Dark Horse and Extra Texture.
