Let it Be-Special Edition

Description

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. The new stereo mix is presented here on180g vinyl LP.

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.
