| | Let It Be (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Let It Be is an album by The Beatles, released on May 8, 1970 by the band's own Apple Records label. | | | The photograph was later used on the compilation album The Beatles 1967-1970 (aka "The Blue Album"). | | | After increasing use of overdubs and multi-layered recordings on recent albums, the group wanted to record the new album live in the studio, just as they had done for their first albums in the early 1960s. |

| | Let It Be...Naked - With The Fly On The Wall |
| | However, caught in the turmoil of the break-up of the band, the album was re-produced by Phil Spector and never released as The Beatles had originally meant it to sound. | | | When The Beatles first set out to make the album in 1969, they intended to record an album that would be a return to live performance of just the bare necessities of the band, no studio effects or overdubbing of voices or instruments would be allowed. | | | Released worldwide from November 17th, Let It Be...Naked is the sound of The Beatles as nature intended; raw and rocking. |

| | BBC NEWS Entertainment Reviews Let It Be - no strings attached |
| | The album sounds terrific, although it may not be overly obvious to the casual listener. | | | As the last-released of the Beatles' 12 original UK albums, Let It Be holds a special fascination for many fans because of the bittersweet circumstances of its recording. | | | In an age when bands release remix albums all the time, it comes as a surprise that some in the media have criticised this new version of Let It Be as a cash-in. |

| | Amazon.co.uk: Let It Be...Naked: Music |
| | Beatles, the [the White Album]; Audio CD ~ The Beatles | | | Let It Be, while obviously better than almost everything ever recorded by anyone else, was compromised by the fact that the Beatles were disintegrating as a unit during the recording sessions, the rancour most famously illustrated by John Lennon calling in Phil Spector behind Paul McCartney's back to rework "The Long and Winding Road". | | | This album was played by me upon release as often as I would have played The White Album in November 1968 on ITS release...had I been more than FOUR at the time. |

| | PopMatters Music Feature Reconsidering Let It Be |
| | The history of the album often overshadows the actual music. | | | Naked, a stripped-down version of Let It Be, the album culled by producer Phil Spector from the sessions shortly after the band broke up, is creating a bit of a buzz. | | | Let It Be, as released, is flawed album that manages to rock nearly as hard as McCartney and Lennon probably intended. |

| | Let It Be began at a Beatle rehearsal in the fall of 1968. | | | Let It Be was held up until the album, single, and movie could all be ready at the same time. | | | Let It Be should be an "honest" album, without overdubs, mixing, or even editing. |

| | The release of the album coincides with a surge in interest in the Fab Four following the success of the greatest hits album "1" which was released three years ago. | | | The Beatles' record company has unveiled the cover of a stripped-down version of the band's album, "Let It Be," which is due to be released next month. | | | "Let It Be" was recorded before the acclaimed final album, "Abbey Road," but was released later due to disagreements that ultimately led to the band splitting in 1970. |

| | Alan W. Pollack's Notes on "Let It Be" |
| | Two are official releases — the single, and the "Let It Be" album track — and the third one — the "Get Back" album track — is readily available on bootleg. | | | The Spectorized "Let It Be" album track features a different guitar solo, the brass, marracas, cymbals and original bass part mixed very loud, additional lead guitar licks in the final sections of the track, a different drumming pattern on the cymbals, and an additional refrain section tacked on before the bitter end. | | | But, "Let It Be", with its quaint, diatonic style, its inclusion of pseudo-religious imagery in the lyrics, and its lingering afterglow of having stated some mysterious truth, earns it a unique, high place in Macca's songbook, a niche that it shares, perhaps alone, with "Hey Jude". |

| | Though the project was intended to showcase the Beatles' returning to their roots as a four-piece rock band, it instead captured the band in the throes of its breakup. | | | The album was temporarily abandoned, and the film, retitled Let It Be, was released the following year. | | | Spector was later brought in at John Lennon's insistence to compile an album from the hundreds of hours of tape. |

| | Blogcritics.org: "Let It Be . . . Naked" - November 17 |
| | The controversial "new" Beatles album, an orchestration-stripped version ("deSpectorized," as the fans have been saying) of second-to-last-but-really-final album Let It Be will be released as Let It Be. | | | The song "Let it Be" itself was also improved by Spector's clever tracking of two Harrison guitar solos at the bridge of the song, and by his non-obtrusive chorus. | | | Let It Be...Naked should be awsome sonically and all killer no filler...and hopefully the music album will finally outshine all the negativism that surround it's creation. |

| | Generally regarded as the Beatles' last album, LET IT BE was actually recorded in 1969, before the recording and release of ABBEY ROAD. | | | No one is likely to argue that LET IT BE is the band's best album, but it is a strong releasenonetheless. | | | By Beatles standards, this is a weak album, simply because they had recorded so many outstanding albums before they did this one. |

| | It was the album that confirmed the break-up of The Beatles and, almost prophetically, was called Let It Be. | | | The planned album was to be called Get Back, after the track of the same name, and was intended to signal a return by the band - after the lavish Sergeant Pepper, Abbey Road and White Album - to their rock and roll roots. | | | Sir Paul has Beatle break-up album remastered to strip out the sound of Phil Spector. |
