Billy Preston released the masterpiece "Encouraging Words" on Apple Records in 1970. Featuring fellow Beatles alumni, including George Harrison and Ringo Starr, this album combines a spiritual, gospel feel with a soulful groove. His covers of classics "My Sweet Lord" and "All Things (Must) Pass" are also known as historic takes, anticipating George's own later performances. This reissue includes remastered audio, plus bonus tracks on a 12-inch 45 rpm disc. This definitive album encapsulates the charm of Preston's Apple days.
