Strangely enough, this technically isn't a cover; Billy worked with Harrison on this album, and Harrison "lent" him two songs. All Things Must Pass came out months later. In other words, this is the first studio recorded version of All Things Must Pass, sanctioned by George Harrison himself

@Vlogoraptors Though I guess if we want to get technical, George recorded an early version of the song with the rest of the Beatles, but, then, that wasn't officially released until many years later.
