Let It Be/Get Back 50th Anniversary Releases! (Content and Sound Quality Discussion Only)!

I'm in Australia and I'm hanging out for midnight. Spotify will suffice until my Box Set arrives ( Which won't be soon with all the mail delays)

 

What's the new mix like?

 

Outrageous
Amateurs
Count in-gate

 

I’m liking it so far but I’m only up to Across the Universe (which I was a bit unsure of at first but have come to enjoy!).

I quite like the new mix of Two of Us. Paul’s vocals are a bit off to the left, John’s vocals a bit to the right and I can distinguish John’s vocals better in this mix than I can on the original. Was a nice touch

 

It’s a great shot and beautiful for one reason…the inclusion of Maureen Starkey.

 

Enjoy!

 

You too mate

 

No, but later he asked her to sit on an amplifier, and look where that got us.

 

It's like a relic from a different age
Could be, oo-ee

 

I can’t tell if that is legit or not (I would suspect not, since I doubt Apple would license the Beatles for alcohol products, besides the Heineken promotion in the 80’s which was probably semi legit at best)
But if it is I need to track one of those down and frame it!

 

So Yoko, Linda and Maureen are all clearly present at the sessions, now that I think about it, was Pattie ever around? I can’t remember ever seeing photos of her from the LIB sessions, or even the roof, unless I totally missed it all these years.

 

Shocking! Since when did Mal ever wear an uncrumpled shirt?

 

Now that you mention it... has anyone seen Eric Clapton at these sessions? Or Ronny Wood?

 

Bee Gees right? LOL

 

Lightweight that I am, “now the doctor came in stinking of Gin” is about all of the Beatle alcohol that I can handle.

 

"The Fut" ... hence the track being futzed with.

The Fut - Wikipedia

 

I know, can you believe it?

 

I still have the bootleg this came on, bought it to acquire "What's The New Mary Jane".
I think the only other worthwhile tune on there was "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" lifted from the movie. Not a great purchase.

 

Right. I actually prefer the 'touched up' images. I mean, I don't need to see every five o'clock sprig of beard hair.

 

If I had to describe the remixes in a nutshell, I’d say “clarifyingly subtle”. And this is a good thing.

 

I'm still listening to the Remix album on Apple Music though I did notice that some of the bonus tracks are still greyed out something I found interesting.

 

Just been listening to the "Let It Be" EP: the Glyn Johns mix of "Across The Universe" sounds beautiful, but his mix of "I Me Mine" sound as bad as the Youtube clip let us hear.

 

It’s nothing of the sort.

 

So, we have had deluxe boxes for "Sgt. Pepper", "Abbey Road" and now "Let It Be".
To some degree, all three reissues could have included a remix or an alternate take/edit/mix/re-edit of the "Let It Be" single b-side, "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)".
But none of them did.

What do you think is the reason for overlooking this great, funny song (which was actually Paul's favourite Beatles song, to boot)?
