It's been 50 years but the re-release has been selling quickly:

George Harrison’s former No. 1 album All Things Must Pass returns to the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart for the first time since 1971, as the set re-enters at No. 7 (on the Aug. 21-dated list) following its 50th anniversary reissue on Aug. 6.

The album was newly mixed and reissued in a variety of formats for its re-release. All versions of the album, including the original 1970 release, are combined for tracking and charting purposes.

The 50th Anniversary ‘All Things Must Pass’ box set is being rubbished by fans worldwide for its cheap packaging, excessive price and terrible remixes but the Whitlock statement is the most high-profile criticism of the reissue to date.

When Bobby Whitlock heard the finished product he said he was “mortified”. “That’s the worst sounding shite I have heard in my life”, he said. “It sounds like it was done by a couple of high school people. You can’t hear anything on it. Its all muddy bass and muddy drums. The voice is out the front but there is no clarity to it. I can hardly believe it. It is fricking awful”.

Note: Whitlock began his career with Sam & Dave, then Booker T & The MG’s. He then joined Delaney & Bonnie and Friends and was a member of Eric Clapton’s Derek and the Dominos where he co-wrote seven of the 14 tracks on the album including ‘Bell Bottom Blues’ and ‘Tell The Truth’.

Bobby Whitlock took down his blazing Youtube critique after push back from Harrision's estate.

Interesting...

BTW his Youtube channel is great. He is one of the few from that time that has not blown out his memory chips!

Have not heard the re-issue yet, but truly sad if the mix is as bad as some say...
This is a legendary album that deserves quality, epic sound!!

Love this album. My Sweet Lord, Wah Wah, Isn’t it a Pity, Let It Down, Beware of Darkness, All Things Must Pass. A lot of good stuff there. Disappointed to hear about the quality of the reissue, though. I can just keep listening to the old one.
