George Harrison - All Things Must Pass - Unreleased DCC.
This was found on a (really) dark corner of the internet. The most famous of George Harrison albums 'All Things Must Pass', supposedly remastered by Steve Hoffman and for a short while sold via his website.
Although this maybe a bit obsolete after the very good 24-bit remaster of last year, this is also a piece of music history that needs to be liberated. That's also the reason why I upped it here, so you can listen to it and decide for yourself. Sadly the 'Apple Jam' portion is not included.
I have also been told that this remaster stays in sync with the old CD from 1987, suggesting that it may be derived from that CD, or from a digital production tape.

This was passed on to me by a disgruntled Steve Hoffman associate. The Apple Jam portion is not included.
It may be worthless now, after the fantastic new 24-bit remaster, but I thought it deserved to be liberated in it's own right.
The back story of this unreleased DCC remaster is that it was only a "test run" from the US master tapes and likely wouldn't have been the final product. However, this has not stopped Hoffman from mastering from copy tapes before, and claiming they were "original masters", so it's not out of the question that this is how it would have appeared.
I have also been told that this remaster stays in sync with the old CD from 1987, suggesting that it may be derived from that CD, or from a digital production tape.
Regardless of the source material used, this is the actual CDR version that Hoffman illegally sold on his vanity website to an unsuspecting sucker.
