LET IT BE THE BEATLES CHARACTERISTICS PLUS
Let It Be.Naked isn't on Let It Be, a six-disc box set released alongside Peter Jackson's The Beatles: Get Back - a docuseries that revisits the original film footage shot by Michael Lindsay-Hogg in 1969 - but a remixed version of Let It Be is, alongside the first official release of the heavily bootlegged Get Back, plus two discs of outtakes and a disc of remixes (the sixth disc is a BluRay). Paul McCartney was never fond of the production Phil Spector added to the tapes, particularly on "The Long and Winding Road," so he spearheaded the odd Let It Be.Naked project, a 2003 album that was a hybrid of the relatively polished 1970 Let It Be LP and the scrapped Glyn Johns mix of Get Back from 1969. There was drama in the sessions, drama in the post-production, drama in the film, and drama in its afterlife. The Beatles did wind up giving a concert, but it was a surprise gig held on the rooftop of Apple at the end of the sessions, an event that gave the film a dramatic conclusion.ĭrama is the keyword for Let It Be. The loose nature of the sessions combined with inner-band tensions made for a rocky road, one that got a little smoother once they decided to move to the fledgling Apple Studio and abandon their plans for a public performance.
They headed to Twickenham Film Studios in January 1969, finding their new accommodations not nearly as hospitable as their home at Abbey Road. The group decided that they'd document the entire process of recording and rehearsing on film, culminating in a live performance at the end of the proceedings. The Beatles intended the album that became Let It Be as a back-to-basics move, deciding to hunker down with a bunch of rockers they could play live - to get back where they once belonged, as it were.
