All Things Must Pass is a triple album by George Harrison recorded and released after the break-up of The Beatles. The first triple album by a single artist, the original vinyl release featured two records of rock songs, while the third, entitled "Apple Jam" was composed of informal jams led by Harrison with musician friends.
