Lou Reed ~ Berlin / George Harrison ~ All Things Must Pass

[TheWarmth]

I'm not much of a fan of Lou Reed's solo stuff, but I put on Berlin recently and really enjoyed it. I was doing a purge of my vinyl collection and thought I might get rid of that one, but it's pretty badass.

Request: Can anyone provide me with a download link for a digital version of this album so I don't have to do a transfer from vinyl?

Another one that got taken off the shelf was All Things Must Pass. Holy shit is that a good album. I mean, it's a freaking triple album and pretty much every song is great. I jumped on ebay and sprung for a copy of the cd remaster immediately after listening to the entire thing.

All Things Must Pass is fantastic - all of the orchestration and overblown arrangements always bring to mind Let It Come Down and vice-versa... no doubt in part because the reissue came out around the same time as LICD.

I never really "got" Berlin... might be a good time to check it out again!

Some of the songs on All Things Must Pass are amazing and rank as the best post-Beatles work by any of them. Much of the time -- My Sweet Lord, Awaiting on You All, What Is Life, Ballad of Frankie Crisp, Isn't It A Pity (I) -- the overblown Spector production isn't an issue. With a few of the others the production does get in the way, unfortunately -- Spector ruined Let It Down if you compare it to the sublime demo version.

Still, one of the all-time great rock albums, and one of my favorite songs -- I Live For You -- wasn't even included on the original triple album!!

I didnt mind Lou Reed's 1st LP, thought it was a great effort, some great tracks (Perfect Day, Take A Walk On The Wild Side). As for George Harrison's 1st LP, thought it was alright, but I couldnt be doing with all that indian music reference...I prefered Lennon's debut. classic.

There isn't any overtly Indian stuff on All Things Must Pass. Unless i'm completely missing it.
I LOVE All Things Must Pass and correct me if i'm wrong but isn't it the best selling Beatles solo record. Amazing for a triple lp.

Transformer was Reed's second album.

His first is supposed to be kinda lame, but I've always been curious about it.

Theres a sweetness to All Things Must Pass that I've never heard replicated on any other album.Light and optomistic and love-ly

This isn't my upload, I found it after reading your post and discovered I've lost my CD and wanted to listen to it.
