The Beatles’chart-topping 1970 albumLet It Bereceives a range of beautifully presented Special Edition packages in October 2021! The new Special Edition follows the universally acclaimed remixed and expanded anniversary editions ofSgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band(2017),The Beatles(akaThe White Album) (2018), andAbbey Road(2019). All of the newLet It Bereleases feature anew stereo mixof 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.TheSuper Deluxecollection also features27 previously unreleased session recordings, a four-trackLet It BeEP, and thenever-before-released 14-trackGet Backstereo LPmix which was compiled by engineer Glyn Johns in May 1969.

TheSuper Deluxevinyl collection’s beautiful book features Paul McCartney’s foreword; an introduction by Giles Martin; a remembrance by Glyn Johns; insightful chapters and detailed track notes byBeatleshistorian, author, and radio producer Kevin Howlett; and an essay by journalist and author John Harris exploring the sessions’ myths vs. their reality. The book is illustrated, scrapbook style, with rare and previously unpublished photos by Ethan A. Russell and Linda McCartney, as well as never before published images of handwritten lyrics, session notes, sketches,Beatlescorrespondence, tape boxes, film frames, and more.

While recorded in 1969,Let It Beremains theBeatles’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 theBeatlesever recorded. Controversial due to its involvement of Spector,Let It Bemarks a return to a drier, back-to-basics live-in-the-studio sound. Seldom, if ever, were theBeatlesso 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.
