I'm generally not a big fan of remixing classic albums, but if one ever desperately needed it, it's All Things Must Pass. I have the original vinyl I bought upon the album's release in 1971 as well as the 1st and 2nd CD issues, and regardless of the release, several tracks are just sorely lacking sound-wise.

I'd love to hear Wah Wah and Art of Dying not sounding as though they were mixed using the 1970 Wollensack recorder in my high school's AV closet. From comments I've read, George himself lamented the botched wall-of-sound reverb on many tracks; it's a shame he didn't (possibly couldn't) take a stab at remixing them. Every time I hear I Live For You I wonder how great some of the other tracks could sound.

I've never been a huge fan of Phil Spector's wall of sound as applied to these songs. George's stuff is often so ethereal and even fragile and the production just overwhelms those qualities.

The unadorned acoustic versions of some tracks included in the CD from the Scorsese documentary really underscore how much magic was lost with the heavy hand of Spector. But all that aside - given that for now at least we are stuck with the original LP production and mixes - I think the UK LP sounds as good as it's going to get, or close to it (maybe the Japan vinyl many people are raving about is even better, haven't heard it but for me I'm happy with the UK version) within the limitations of the source.
