Let It Be is the 12th and final studio album released by the English rock band The Beatles. It was released on 8 May 1970, by the band’s Apple Records label shortly after the group’s announced breakup.
Most of Let It Be was recorded in January 1969, before the recording and release of the album Abbey Road. For this reason, some critics and fans, such as Mark Lewisohn, argue that Abbey Road should be considered the group’s final album and Let It Be the penultimate. Let It Be was originally intended to be released before Abbey Road during mid-1969 as Get Back, but the Beatles were unhappy with this version, which was mixed and compiled by Glyn Johns, and it was temporarily shelved. A new version of the album was created from the studio tapes by Phil Spector in 1970 and finally released as Let It Be. The album acts as a soundtrack album for the 1970 motion picture of the same name, a documentary of the band rehearsing and recording the album. While two songs from the sessions were released as singles before the album’s release, “Get Back” and “Let It Be,” the songs were remixed by Spector for the album.
The Beatles together again in 1994, playing their new song: Free as a Bird!
Can you imagine they together again, playing in a concert?
Of course that never happened. Actually, the song was recorded in 1994 (yes, after Lennon“s death), but thIs video is just a EDITION with scenes of clips from each other concerts.
The single was released on 4 December 1995, as part of the promotion for the release of The Beatles Anthology video documentary and the band’s Anthology 1 compilation album.
The song had been written and recorded as a demo by John Lennon in 1977. Paul McCartney asked Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono for any unreleased material by Lennon, and “Free as a Bird” was chosen as being the song all three remaining Beatles could be involved in, as they could finish the arrangement and write extra lyrics.
Help! is the fifth UK and ninth US album by The Beatles, and the soundtrack from their film of the same name. Produced by George Martin for EMI’s Parlophone Records, it contains (in its original British form) fourteen songs, of which seven appeared in the film Help! (including the singles “Help!” and “Ticket to Ride”).
In 2003, the album was ranked number 332 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
“Come Together” is a song by The Beatles written primarily by John Lennon and credited to Lennon/McCartney. The song is the lead-off track on The Beatles’ September 1969 album Abbey Road. One month later it also appeared as one of the sides of the group’s 21st single (it was a double A-side, the other side being George Harrison’s “Something”) in the United Kingdom, their 26th in the United States. The song reached the top of the charts in the U.S., while becoming a Top 10 hit in the UK.
The song, one of Harrison’s best-known Beatles contributions alongside “Something”, originated from a song-writing collaboration between Harrison and close friend Eric Clapton called “Badge” (recorded by Clapton’s group Cream), which featured an arpeggiated guitar riff that is similar to the one that forms the bridge of “Here Comes the Sun”.
Harrison stated in The Beatles Anthology:
“Here Comes the Sun” was written at the time when Apple was getting like school, where we had to go and be businessmen: ‘Sign this’ and ’sign that’. Anyway, it seems as if winter in England goes on forever, by the time spring comes you really deserve it. So one day I decided I was going to sag off Apple and I went over to Eric Clapton’s house. The relief of not having to go see all those dopey accountants was wonderful, and I walked around the garden with one of Eric’s acoustic guitars and wrote “Here Comes The Sun”.
“Don’t Let Me Down” is a song by The Beatles (credited to The Beatles with Billy Preston on the single), recorded in 1969 during the Get Back (Let It Be) sessions. Richie Unterberger of Allmusic called it “one of the Beatles’ most powerful love songs”,and Roy Carr and Tony Tyler called it “a superb sobber from misery-expert J. W. O. Lennon, MBE. And still one of the most highly underrated Beatle underbellies.”
An anguished love song Lennon wrote to Yoko Ono, Paul McCartney interpreted it as a “genuine plea”, with Lennon saying to Ono, “I’m really stepping out of line on this one. I’m really just letting my vulnerability be seen, so you must not let me down.”Lennon’s vocals work their way into screams, presaging the primal scream stylings of the following year’s John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band album.
