Special Edition New Stereo Mix on 180g Vinyl LP, Guided by the Original “Reproduced for Disc” Version by Phil Spector, Sourced Directly from the Original Session and Rooftop Performance Eight-Track Tapes!
The Beatles’ chart-topping 1970 album Let It Be receives a range of beautifully presented Special Edition packages in October 2021! The new Special Edition follows the universally acclaimed remixed and expanded anniversary editions of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (2017), The Beatles (aka The White Album) (2018), and Abbey Road (2019). All of the new Let It Be releases feature a new stereo mix of the album, as guided by the original “reproduced for disc” version by Phil Spector, sourced directly from the original session and rooftop performance eight-track tapes. The new stereo mix is presented here on 180g vinyl LP.
While recorded in 1969, Let It Be remains the Beatles’ final salvo due to its release in 1970 and the internal tensions that mark the album. Filled with a litany of underrated gems, it also hosts the universally recognized gospel-laden title track, on a par with the best material the Beatles ever recorded. Controversial due to its involvement of Spector, Let It Be marks a return to a drier, back-to-basics live-in-the-studio sound. Seldom, if ever, were the Beatles so raw and direct, as the folksy harmonies on “Two of Us” and straight-ahead charge of “I’ve Got a Feeling” demonstrate. And the orchestral and choir arrangements on the Spector-treated “The Long and Winding Road” simply soar.
