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:  - Some Really Great SongsI'm not sure why so many people consider this to be The Beatles' one sub-par album. Can I point out how great the songs "Across The Universe," "Get Back," "I Me Mine," "Dig A Pony," and "Let It Be" are? "I Me Mine" is probably my favorite of Harrison's songs, melodic and angst-y and full of meaning. "Across The Universe" is one of Lennon's best (I think "A Day In The Life" is the only one I like better). Also, "Two Of Us" is pretty good, and "The Long And Winding Road" is a major hit (though not ... Read More Rating: - A fine Beatles albumMany reviews go over the context of this album, with the band beginning to come apart at the seams, the production work of Phil Spector, and so on. Since that has been dealt with at considerable length, I'll just focus on my responses to the music. The start of this is so quirky! I always enjoyed it. If I have it right: "'I dig a pygmy,' By Charles Hawtrey and the DefAids. Part 1, In which Doris gets her oats." I haven't the faintest clue ...

The truth about this group is that for those who actually saw them or even heard them during their short but triumphant time in the music biz there has never been a group that can hold a candle to them, they changed the music industry and the sound of modern day music for the best! While music that is being produced today (some) is very inventive it is still eons behind The Beatles contributions. ... Read More 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 to ... Read More |
