Get Back THIS IS A COMPLETE GENUINE RARE UK ORIGINAL AND IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO BUY A COMPLETE EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE VINYL ALBUMS OF ALL TIME.An exceptional pressing that plays with great pitch from start to finish.
A complete pressing of one of The Beatles most sought after collections.
Let It Be is the 12th and final studio album released by The Beatles.
It was released on 8 May 1970 by the band s Apple Records label shortly after the group s announced break-up.
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 by Phil Spector in 1970 and finally released as Let It Be, serving as the album for the 1970 motion picture of the same name.
While three songs from the sessions were released as singles before the album s release, Get Back / Don t Let Me Down and Let It Be , the songs were remixed by Spector for the album and Don t Let Me Down was not included.
The rehearsals and recording sessions for the album did not run smoothly.
The acrimony that began during the recording of the previous year s White Album resumed soon after the rehearsals began.
At one point, George Harrison walked out and quit the group after severely arguing with both Paul McCartney and John Lennon, only to be coaxed back some days later.
The film version is famous for showcasing a number of conflicts between the group members and has frequently been referred to as a documentary intended to show the making of an album but instead showing the break-up of a band .
By late 1968, more than two years after The Beatles gave up touring, Paul McCartney was eager for the group to perform live again.
McCartney felt that the group s cohesiveness had been lost through years without playing live, and from using the studio not to record ensemble performances but to make increasingly complex recordings made up of parts played individually by each Beatle as overdubs rather than as a group.
He believed that the best way to improve band relations and revive enthusiasm was to get the group back into rehearsal as quickly as possible the White Album sessions having only been concluded in October 1968 and begin work on a new album that made little or no use of studio artifice or multiple overdubbing.
This would allow the group to return to their roots by playing as a true ensemble, perhaps recording some or all of the new album during a one-off live concert or full concert tour.In March 1970 the session tapes were given to American producer Phil Spector.
Spector worked on the tracks and compiled the eventually released album by now entitled Let It Be.
The album and the film with the same name were released on 8 May 1970 The Beatles had already broken up by that time.
The film captured the critical tensions within the band, and also included footage from the rooftop concert.
The rooftop performance closed with the song Get Back , and afterwards Lennon said, I d like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we passed the audition.
In the UK, the album was originally issued by Apple and distributed by EMI in a lavish boxed set that also included a book featuring stills from the Let It Be film.
Several months later, the album was reissued in Great Britain in a standard LP jacket.
In the United States, the Let It Be album was issued in a standard jacket, without the book.
Despite mixed reviews at the time of its release, the album was ranked number 86 in the Rolling Stone magazine s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time in 2003.
Let It Be would earn the top spot on both the American and British record charts, with the Let It Be single and The Long and Winding Road also reaching number one in the US, and is considered a late master work of the great band.
ALBUM PLAYED FOR GRADING:Yes brilliant - TOP AUDIO - great sound quality throughout.This great record plays through with superb 1st press power and clarity.
The tones are beautifully defined in this original UK pressing, with a great depth of sound, and each channel being clearly defined, with a warm rich sound that is infinitely superior to later pressings.
Needless to say there are no obvious sound blemishes, no loud pops, clicks or distortion.
Some light occasional surface sound only, the sound is clean and crisp, absolutely wonderful.Thick quality press with the wider 1st pressed grooves, means this audio really packs a punch.
Strong, undistorted sound the channels are clean and unstressed.
The record plays with staggering power, with barely any surface sound between the tracks.Great audio with no obvious interference to distract form the overly enjoyment of this ground breaking record.
There is certainly no dominant interference, and NO loud pops or clicks or Distortion.
It really sounds great and plays with great sound separation and clarity I will give a detailed account below: This great sounding 1st stereo press starts with a little light static in run ins and intro to Two of Us , a relatively gentle track that can still be plagued by crackle, hiss and static.
Just great clear sound, the track plays superbly with not a single click or pop.
Again, the quiet intro to Dig A Pony also sounds very clear and the whole of the first side really plays with nice clear audio throughout.
Any surface sound is extremely quiet and infrequent.
Across The Universe sounds great, with clear audio, its such a delicate track and prone to distortion and other noises.
There is are no pops or clicks, just some light occasional static.
A light tic at the very end and thats it.
I Me Mine comes in again with incredibly clear bright sound, I could detect no static and certainly no distortion.
I can confirm this whole album plays without a hint of distortion what so ever.
Dig It sounds great, with all the vocals nice and clear.
The classic Let It Be sounds superb, with no detectable pops and some light surface sound only.
Maggie May ends side 1.
with great clear sound.
Some very faint occasional static and no pops or clicks.
Superb.
I ve Got A Feeling kicks in side 2.
with bright clear audio.
Any background static is far in the background, and doesn t interfere with the music.
There is some light static at the very start and thats about it.
One After 909 also plays superbly, still with no pops or clicks, and very little detectible static.
I m very happy to say that the same goes for the intro to The Long and Winding Road .
So often heavily distorted and affected by clicks and hiss, it plays through with clarity and superb sound.
There is some light occasional static, but it is light and I wouldn t say in any obtrusive or even that noticeable.
The long outro plays with just crystal clear audio.
Even the stunning For You Blue , such a difficult track to find with clear sound, pays superbly.
A great audio performance.
There is some light static during that quiet intro, but it is very light by any standards.
Get Back rounds of the album again with great clear sound.
A really stunning performance.
A great example of this great vinyl.
With the clear and extra loud First cut engineering giving the audio a vibrant sound which cannot be beaten.
This is a unique pressing of LET IT BE, with no loud clicks or pops anywhere and certainly other obvious interference.
There is some occasional light static, but certainly nothing dominant.
Great music with great clarity, I would give this great record a strict audio grading of EXCELLENT PLUS.
THE RECORD - Visual Grading This is a truly exceptional pressing of LET IT BE.
A superb piece of glossy vinyl, and a really thick pressing.
Deep clear grooves that can only be found on the original pressings, this vinyl been little played.
The record has great shine, with no obvious scratches, just a few tiny hairlines and a few light handling marks only.
Under an intense spot light there are some faint inner sleeve storage and sleeve removal marks.
This is a great example, with clear grooves that deliver absolutely amazing audio clarity.
