Description
Let It Be was finally released in the U.K. May 8, 1970 and in The United States May 18th to accompany the release of the “Let It Be” film. From the new release’s press blurb: “More than 60 hours of unreleased film footage, more than 150 hours of unreleased audio recordings, and hundreds of unpublished photographs have been newly explored and meticulously restored for three complementary and definitive Beatles releases this fall: a feast for the senses spanning the entire archival treasure. The new Let It Be Special Edition is joined by ‘The Beatles: Get Back’, the hotly-anticipated documentary series directed by three-time Oscar®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson, and a beautiful new hardcover book also titled ‘The Beatles: Get Back’. The raw sources explored for the new projects have revealed that a more joyous, benevolent spirit imbued the sessions than was conveyed in the 1970 ‘Let It Be’ film’s 80 minutes”.
The 2nd disc contains out-take highlights, the working up of songs in the studio, and often amusing banter between the band.
