The Beatles "Get Back"/"Let It Be" sessions and the resulting unreleased
and released albums and bootlegged recordings are among the most
interesting and confusing aspects of the Beatles recorded legacy.
Bruce Spizer's fourth installment in his Beatles album series, The
Beatles Finally Let It Be covers the January 1969 rehearsals and
recording sessions, the unreleased "Get Back" albums, "Let It Be" and
"Let It Be...Naked," along with American, British and Canadian
perspectives. The book relies on articles from 1969 and 1970 magazines
and newspapers to report on what fans knew about the sessions and the
planned albums that were never issued, as well as reviews of the
unreleased and released albums. There are also chapters on 1970 current
events and music and film, plus a detailed breakdown of all of the songs
released from the sessions. The fan recollections chapter includes
stories from those were fortunate enough to be up on the roof for the
Beatles final public performance on January 30, 1969, along with one
from a fan on the ground.
This book measures 9" x 9" and includes images in both color and
original black & white.
The Beatles Finally Let It Be is the perfect companion to the other
books in the album series, the upcoming Get Back film directed by
Peter Jackson, and the anniversary edition of the Let It Be album.
