In the old days (there's that term again), most of us dismissed it.
But I put it on the other day, having not listened to it for a while, and I really enjoyed it, for what it is. Good stuff. It's mostly Clapton, but...

"Out Of The Blue" is very good. With Bobby Keys adding a few nice touches, it's definitely a close cousin of CYHMK.

It's Johnny's Birthday is reminiscent of the playout jam from Abbey Road's The End, and Thanks For The Pepperoni and Out Of The Blue are verging on Stones territory in terms of heavy rocking jams. A pity The Traveling Wilburys weren't thinking more along these lines.

I @#$%& love the Apple Jam from All Things Must Pass. I can see back then it just being filler, but listening to it now thats a hell of some amazing musicians in the same studio playing some great material.

I believe if had only leaked as a bootleg rather than a legitimate release, it would be legendary. I seem to recall that when I got it on CD, the songs were in a different order. -- anyone know why?

because harrison resequenced it when he prepared the album for cd, the new sequencing he said, was original intended but nut used in the end

A pity? Travelling Wilburys were great. Why would you want to ruin that with overlong, bloated, meandering, cocaine-fueled rock jams.

Love a nice thick spread of Apple Jam! Great, and unique addition to a triple album. I have always said Out of the Blue could have been a genesis of CYHMK. Great moody jam. Yeah, Clapton is all over Apple Jam, but so is George and Dave Mason. It's Johnny's B'day was a tape he made for Lennon's b'day. On the FM show, The Lost Lennon Tapes there was a cool segment on the different tapes sent to Lennon for his B'day. Janis Joplin, I recall, had a very cool one. Love the inner sleeves of the album with the different color sleeves and the cool jar of Apple Jam on the sleeve. Such an amazing album, my favorite of the solo albums.

just listened to out of the blue, reminds me of cyhmk but also of art of dying, so maybe it´s closer to aod and the sax reminds us of cyhmk

It's great house cleaning music, spring cleaning, or working on something, painting a room, hanging pictures, rearranging furniture, fixing a table or door -- great music for project stuff. Open the windows, put it on really loud, get a buzz going and do something creative around the house. Step out on the porch for a smoke and it still sounds awesome in the next room!

I haven't listened to it since I was 13 years old.

All Things Must Pass... 3 Vinyl box set with a great poster of George.
Apple Jam; It's music that should be played loud, open the door and sit outside with some friends and have a drink

When the 20th anniversary edition of Derek & the Dominoes came out it included a disc of long jams that were reminiscient of some of these Apple jams....good stuff when in that kinda mood.

While All Things Must Pass was a hit when released, I don't think the "Apple Jam" disc really contributed much to the album as a whole.

Had those tracks--like those added to the Layla box set--instead been included as "bonus" material in an anniversary edition many years later it wouldn't have turned the album into a 3-record set. That was a little self-indulgent.

That is precisely the formula that resulted in Exile On Main Street.

I dunno - my courses are usually 7 - a six-pack and a burrito. I never considered that particularly self-indulgent.

The only reason All Things Must Pass became a 3- rather than 2-record album was because Lennon and McCartney were being so self-indulgent with space on those late 60s Beatles albums, the period during which Harrison wrote the 16 songs for All Things Must Pass (some early versions of Let It Down and 107 takes of the title track can be heard as Beatle versions from the Get Back sessions).

Yes - but the Stones didn't release the 'jams'. They released the honed down, 'sculpted' results of them. Big difference. And Travelling Wilbury's was never about that kind of approach - and all the better for it. IMO

Since there's a lot of talk about Ginger Baker recently...
He's on an Apple Jam track, and he's not doing the whole bombastic drum thing. Mind you, it's's only a jam. I'm really enjoying that Apple Jam disc.

Yes, a interesting listen. I particularly like 'Thanks for the pepperoni' from the 'jam' session. And 'It's Johnny's Birthday' though silly is quite fun.

But I must admit it has been long time since I've listened to 'Apple Jam.' (Actually I only listen to the songs from the first two discs).
