Let It Be [VINYL]

Product Information

Started January 1969 as Get Back, the original idea was to record an album aux natural with as little of the production values that has graced their latter albums (Sgt Pepper, MMT, The White Album). The Super Deluxe collections also feature 27 previously unreleased session recordings, a four-track ‘Let It B’e EP, and the never before released 14-track ‘Get Back’ stereo LP mix compiled by engineer Glyn Johns in May 1969. This was never released, becoming known as one of the great ‘lost’ albums in rock history and is now included in this Super Deluxe Set.

George Harrison – lead and rhythm guitars, acoustic guitar on “For You Blue” and “I Me Mine”, tambura on “Across the Universe”, tuned-down six-string electric guitar on “Two of Us” and “Maggie Mae”, lead vocals on “I Me Mine” and “For You Blue”, backing vocals.

Following on from the global success of ‘Abbey Road’, Apple Corps and USM are proud to present the next multi-format Beatles album reissue of ‘Let It Be’.

All the new ‘Let It Be’ releases feature the new stereo mix of the album as guided by the original “reproduced for disc” version by Phil Spector and sourced directly from the original session and rooftop performance eight-track tapes.My own copies (I have two – another variant lists the Fab Four as arrangers of "Maggie Mae" on the label) are all Scranton. This album has been prepared using the 2009 digital remasters which had been created from the original stereo analogue master tapes. Genuine Let It Be pressings with the red Apple were mastered at Bell Sound by a guy named Sam Feldman and that’s why you can see his initials “sf” scratched into the vinyl above.
