Their remix of "Let It Be" absolutely sizzles. Beatles aficionados might understandably yearn for more material from the Twickenham sessions, and a loud contingent has already voiced their displeasure at not having access to a full version of the Rooftop Concert.Įven still, Martin and Okell have scored knockout remixes on several counts.
The deluxe box set, engineered by Giles Martin and Sam Okell, is a valiant effort indeed. Originally conceived to accompany the documentary directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, the album finally saw the light of day in the hands of Phil Spector, who carried out post-production duties after earlier attempts by Glyn Johns and George Martin to bring the LP to the marketplace had fallen short in the Beatles' estimation.
When it comes to "Let It Be," you just can't pin it down.Īnd that goes for the entire "Get Back" saga - the project that the Beatles undertook in that fabled month and that eventually morphed into the "Let It Be" LP release in May 1970. In the long history of the Beatles' recorded output, and the various and ongoing efforts to spin the events of January 1969 in one direction or another, it has simply become too beguiling to know what really happened, much less fully encapsulate the band members' creative intentions with their work. With the deluxe remixed release of the Beatles' "Let It Be," I am convinced that the album will always defy attempts at creating a definitive edition.
