Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0077774644723 Format: Soundtrack Label: Capitol Manufacturer: Capitol MPN: 46447 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Capitol Release Date: October 25, 1990 Studio: Capitol Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Sloppy in conception, and even sometimes in the playing, Let It Be often gets a bad rap. Unfairly, as it's often as charming, well written, and (oh yeah) rocking as the Beatles' "better" albums; it's also more outright fun than Abbey Road, the masterpiece it followed into the stores. With Lennon and McCartney working together on the perfect "I've Got a Feeling," "Two of Us," and "Dig a Pony," it's hard to believe these guys were about to implode. --Rickey Wright Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The last Beatle albumOften reviewed as a sloppy album it nevertheless is historic for the fact that they split up after this album. I am a Beatle lover, so I like most of their songs, but "Let It Be", "The Long and Winding Road", and "I Me Mine" ( from George) are classics. It's a must have for Beatle fans. Rating: - Document of a divorceHaving been informed that they still owed United Artists a third motion picture (the cartoon "Yellow Submarine" didn't count), the Beatles assembled on a cold Twickenham Studios soundstage on the day after New Years', 1969, to begin work on "Get Back", a documentary of recording sessions, to be directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg. Paul McCartney had wanted the band to perform live again, something it hadn't done in two-and-a-half years, and these sessions were to be rehearsals. Magic was expected ...

"Let It Be" was all about getting back to basics and away from the glorious studio experimentations that I'm most fond of. But the band had to keep growing and changing and I can't fault them for that. This disc is certainly unique in that there is ... Read More Rating: - Very good for a disappointmentThe fact that LET IT BE is considered a fiasco, says rather a lot about what standards we're accustomed to by the Beatles. Many bands would have been proud of themselves presenting something like this. But I guess after SGT PEPPER and all the other albums this doesn't impress much. The title track, "The long and winding road", "Across the universe" and "Get back" are all classics. And the other songs are not too bad either, even if some of the performances sound a bit like outtakes. LET ...
