Hi Andrew! I think that 50 years from now, people will still be listening to this album! Be safe; God bless!

Thank you for the video, Andrew! 👍 Well, I must admit I never had enough patience to sit through all the January 1969 session tapes, but I managed to explore the first day recordings in their entirety. It’s interesting how the session comes to life as soon as Paul appears in the studio and everybody's on fire right away. And I really think "Two Of Us" was written about Paul and John. "You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead" - what a deep meaning lies beneath these words! Seems like Paul understands by "now" (1969), how grandious is the way they both have walked up to that point in their life. And it’s time to sit and look back with love and admiration at what they have achieved. Seems like it was really the first time The Beatles took a pause from constantly going forward and let themselves observe their recent past years.

Great info Andrew, I am.a Beatles fan just about 50 years and you enlightened me about a few things I didnt know. Keep on doing what you are doing, you are on the right track!

Can’t wait for the new Peter Jackson movie and the Let it Be 50 box set! I certainly hope that one of the incarnations of the Glyn Johns album is included in the box set! Ringo also brought two songs to Twickenham-Picasso and Taking A Trip To Carolina.

Hi Andrew Great review lots of detail and interesting information. Looking forward to your next video

Great video thanks Andrew, I'm glad we have the new movie coming to get us through these tough times and 50th anniversary release hours of session audio to look forward to

I always caught the impression that macca "carried all on his shoulders". In times of trouble ( lol) let it be, get back and the long and winding road. Evergreens, Only a maestro. Of course it's a matter of opinion, everyone 's right and nobody is wrong, i ♥️ phil spector's version of the long and winding road.

Good work Andrew. It's bizarre but I've never till now noticed (at least consciously) that Let It Be doesn't have a Ringo lead vocal. I agree he turns in a great drumming performance on the album though. Looking forward to further instalments, I love this period of the Beatles.

Excellent appraisal Andrew. Never thought of the Lennon contributions in such an analytical way. Two of Us, I've Got a Feeling, I Me Mine and Get Back are probably favourite tracks, but Dig A Pony is the one I probably play along with most - it's a great riff! Look forward to your next videos on the subject.

Can’t wait for the new Peter Jackson movie and the Let it Be 50 box set! I certainly hope that one of the incarnations of the Glynn Johns album is included in the box set!

Hi Andrew! What a terrific review. The approach to it, by looking at each of the individual Beatles contributions was really informative and enjoyable. Also, I know that I’m not with the crowd on this... but I really think The Long and Winding Road is great. I think the production made the song a classic. I’ll need to give a listen to the Let It Be Naked version. Thanks for the video 😀. Best regards, Brian.

It's amazing that from February 7th 1964, (their NYC arrival), to October of 1969... 5 short years and 8 months, that The Beatles were able to create a body of work containing the most creative and innovative music- MIRACULOUS! Buddy Holly and The Crickets inspired their instrument choices, two guitars, bass and drums. The 50's rock and roll era was top heavy with piano, ( Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Fats Domino- Elvis too)! The Beatles put their own spin on Rockabilly, which was lost on the young teens. One of my favorite Beatles songs is Ringo's version of Honey Don't! The Beatles singles in 65 and 66 ushered in a second floodgate of radio hits! Songs more for listening than dancing.(We Can Work it Out, Day Tripper, Ticket to Ride, Help, Nowhere Man, Yesterday, Michelle and Lady Madonna)! How the hell did they go from Rubber Soul to Revolver? Now, Revolver to Sgt. Pepper makes perfect sense. Sgt. Pepper to the White Album... WHAT?!? The White Album to Let it Be? W T F !! Or The White Album... PERIOD!! Let it Be has been relentlessly scrutinized, by fans and critics for decades. The Long and Winding Road sounds more McCartney than Beatles. It's pure Phil Spector syrup and fluff. So sweet, it hurt my teeth! It's also a little weird and off putting to hear background singers on Across the Universe and Winding Road! But don't cheat yourself out of experiencing the silver lining in Let it Be. No overdubbed voices. You won't hear McCartney harmonizing with himself. It's just John, George and Paul doing their thing...playing like a goddamn "band"! Although Let it Be obviously doesn't break new ground, it was an essential record that motivated them to step up to the plate one more time and deliver their "true" swan song, ABBEY ROAD! Thank heaven for George Martin's return!

While knowing most the background and information on this album myself, you did a phenomenal job describing to those out there that might not know all the little bits and pieces in between. Nicely done Andrew! Cheers...

I love this album..warts and all as John said..but yeah McCartney at his peak..but if things were different .imagine an album with Let it Be.. Across the universe. And All Things Must Pass!!.WOW..the best John song at the time was a bside..Don't Let Me Down..can't wait for the film...Box ...T shirt..mouse pad..etc. etc..and Paul being Paul..said Two of Us was Linda and him!!...it is about him and John. Clearly!!...all that stuff was happening...another great video...cheers!!

great video...hopefully they will reinstate the missing parts to dig a pony...the "all i want is you"....parts from the beginning and end of the song..the second one has a great harmony with john and paul....i guess phil thought it sounded better without them...you can hear them on bootlegs....again excellent review....

I have a soft spot for this Album. I love it. ❤️

Paul has stated many times that ‘Two Of Us’ was about Linda and him. But it does sound like he’s singing about him and John!

Nice overview. For me, this album is in my top 5. Love all the songs and certainly the rooftop numbers are fantastic! Funny tho...Paul didn't like the strings on Long and Winding Road, but how has he been doing it live since 89? With the beautiful strings! So looking forward to this reissue and the new film. Can't wait!

Actually, I heard an interview with Paul regarding “Two of Us,” where he talks about it being about him and Linda and there excursions together.

Hi Andrew, great review as usual.

You make some great points about the Let It Be album. While not my favorite, I wonder it's potential to be a great Beatle production had John been fully engaged. You get the sense that McCartney, alone, was dragging the band through the sessions and you could argue that he needed John's invaluable input like so many other times. In the past, McCartney has certainly produced his fair share of brilliant work unassisted but many times it had been Lennon's out-of-the-box input that made a great song a song for the ages. Ticket To Ride comes to mind. It's interesting also, that had All Things Must Pass made the album, would that have been the title? It has the same connotation as Let It Be but more definitive in terms of truly being the Beatles last released album. However, I would NOT have trusted Spector on that song. No way! It definitely would have needed Martin to bring it up to an Abbey Road/Pepper standard. But, all that said, Let It Be is the album we were supposed to get. Its enigma and idiosyncracy are part of its allure.

Great Work Sir

I did enjoy this video well done you . Take care and be we;; !!!

Hello, Andrew. Great videos, useful insights. I have two questions. Have you something anywhere about the original packaging of the album? In the Netherlands it was released in a thin carton box along with a great book of photos and text. Soon that packaging was abandoned, the boxes scrapped and the book sold off cheaply separately. Managed to get a copy of that. Not of the box alas, must be rare. Do you know anything about what and why? Second unrelated question: why was there never a 50th anniversary edition of Revolver, a candidate best Beatles album?

The problem with the "Get Back sessions was that it was yet another Paul project, and George Martin didn't produce. It's near the very bottom with Paul's "Magical Mystery Tour" project.

Best way i love to show friends how different early Beatles are vs late Beatles is to play them ‘one after 909’ , the anthology 1 1963 version then the 1970 release on Let it be. I love watching the reactions lol

Hello Andrew I've just subscribed to your channel look forward to viewing your videos 👍

Nice review,A. It's always cool when one learns a thing or two didn't really know,from'all those yr.s ago'. Ever notice how often lyrics from Beatles& 'solo worx' come up when ur writing or simply talking ? On my top channels, it tickles me,a bit. As u& so many of us feel; it's gonna b very interesting to see what they do with the album,& what Mr.Jackson does with new film. U know,A., I've liked just 'bout everything seen that he's done- even the apocalyptic sci-fi 'Distric9' . Take care, M

Andrew overall what is your take on let it be naked. I love let it be as an album. it has a sadness to it but some great songs

Really great video. Not a very cohesive album but far from a bad album some classic Beatles songs such as get back,long and winding road as well as the title track let it be with for you blue and I’ve got a feeling being some of my personal favourites off of the album.

Andrew, what do you make of the fact that Paul later re-recorded his own version of Long and Winding Road, and included the Spector string arrangements?

Brilliant review Andrew. I do love the album Let it Be including all its flaws but agree with your comments. I don't think there's many musicians who have written and had three million selling singles Let It Be, The Long and Winding Road & Get Back off one album! Looking forward to the rest of the series. Cheers...

Let it be / get back was the album where they realized, there wasn’t any going back.

Hi Andrew, I always liked the album, but imagine All Things Must Pass and Don't Let Me Down on the album instead of Dig A Pony and I Me Mine or One After 909. It would nearly be as good as Abbey Road. I prefer this album above Let It Be .... Naked.

Where did you find the interview of John out of it during the sessions?

I hope they finally release the long version of Dig it. It was one of the best moments in the movie.

I agree with every word you said in this video. Paul McCartney completely owns "Let it be"

Great video Andrew,, agree with your opinion of Let it be, one after 909 and dig a pony not great tracks, maybe it shows how divided they were feeling and for John and Paul to have no interest in All things must pass, no wonder George was not happy either. Look forward to your other videos on the subject, your Beatle knowledge is fantastic 👍😀

I always thought Get Back was live, well did Phil have us all fooled! It that case they should have put Don't Let Me Down on the album since there is a live version from the roof top sessions. I see why Paul had it on LIB Naked. I think maybe they should have took a break after the White album and maybe waited a little later in the year before making LIB.

Good overview. Yes it would have been a better album on John's part if Don't let me down had replaced Dig a pony. Looking forward to your sessions video, the part that has always held the most intrigue to their fans.

Dude.. where is the vinyl?

The original "Let It Be" was one of my least favorite Beatles albums. I preferred the bootlegs that had been appearing months and months prior to the official release. I also wasn't that keen on all the remixing that had been done on previous 50th anniversary productions, especially The White Album and "Abbey Road". However, for this new version of "Let It Be", the production has approached the recording with a more appropriate context, that of making it not sounding clean and spruced up. It reminds me of the old boots; presenting The Beatles "getting down", giving the tracks a sort-of low-fi quality. Five thumbs up for this one!

My version of Let it be has Teddy Boy,Junk,All things must pass,Let it Down,Isn’t. It a pity, Hot as sun. But me personally I don’t think Maggie Mae and Dig it were necessary. I wonder how Gimme some truth and Backseat of my car, Another day were sounding at this time..

I would have replaced Across the Universe with Don't Let Me Down. There's a nice version of it combined with Save the Last Dance For Me. There are some interesting versions Across the Universe that were rockin' versions. The same can be said for Two of Us. Never cared for The Long and Winding Road...too bloated. The version in the film and on Naked are better. John did have some early versions of Mind Games, and Gimme Some Truth, so he wasn't totally dried up. McCartney was coming up with half the lyrics to Gimme Some Truth. So much so, he should have gotten a songwriting credit on the released version, which would have been interesting on album that included How Do You Sleep.To be fair to John, he wrote half the lyrics to Get Back. I was listening to one of those massive Get Back sessions boots the other day (seems I have the time for such things), and the way they approached this song was unique. They would bash out the song, spit out any lyric that came into their head, listen to the playback, and pick and choose the lyrics they liked: "I like the bit about Tucson, Arizona", for instance. I apologize for being so wordy but like I said before, " I have the time." Looking forward to the sessions video.✌😷🧤

Hi Andrew, I know you're not much of a bootleg person but I think to give this album a contextual appraisal you need to get the Glyn Johns Final Compilation of "Get Back". I have many feelings on the whole project and I agree with people who think that Spector did a bad job. It was just for the money, I believe he rattled this off in a couple of weeks.... The main thing though..................WHY DID SPECTOR CHOP OUT "DON'T LET ME DOWN" !!!

Long long long gotta be the best beatles song maybe

Andrew , get real , Let it be isn't good as you say. I wonder WHO ask Spector to produce...

"I Me Mine," "For You Blue," and, "Old Brown Shoe" are really weak songs.

Let it be is worst Beatles album. Beside barely 4-5 good songs , the other ones sounds like a very bad demos .About the production...Phil Spector? Really?I have 40 years , still something's wrong there. Andrew , yes , there's Let it be Across the universe , Long and winding road , Don't let me down , I've got i feeling etc... Shame about the swan song of the BEST band ever existed. Compare Let it be with such a giants as Abbey Road , White album , Pepper , Revolver , Rubber Soul even Magical mystery tour...something is very wrong...Paul live versions are 100% better. Unique in WHAT?

Can’t wait for the new Peter Jackson movie and the Let it Be 50 box set! I certainly hope that one of the incarnations of the Glynn Johns album is included in the box set!
