LET IT BE is the twelfth and final studio album by the English rock band The Beatles. It was released on 8th May 1970, almost a month after the group's public break-up, in tandem with the documentary of the same name. Rehearsals started at Twickenham Film Studios as part of a planned television documentary showing The Beatles' return to live performance. The filmed rehearsals were marked by ill feeling, leading to George Harrison's temporary departure from the group. The Beatles reconvened at their own Apple Studio, and recruited guest keyboardist Billy Preston. Together, they performed a famous single public concert held on the studio's rooftop on 30th January 1970. In April engineer Glyn Johns prepared and submitted mixes of the album, then titled Get Back, which the band rejected. When the documentary film was resurrected for a cinema release, as LET IT BE, Lennon and Harrison asked American producer Phil Spector to assemble the accompanying album. Among Spector's choices was to apply orchestral and choral overdubs to three tracks. His work offended Paul McCartney. In 2003, McCartney spearheaded Let It Be... Naked, an alternative version of LET IT BE that removes Spector's embellishments and alters the tracklist. In 2021, another remixed and expanded edition of LET IT BE was released with session highlights and the original 1969 Get Back mix, coinciding with The Beatles: Get Back, an eight-hour documentary series covering the January 1969 sessions and rooftop concert.

LET IT BE is the only Beatles album to occasion negative, even hostile reviews. First off, several facts need to be explained: although released in May 1970, this was not their final album, but largely recorded in early 1969, way before Abbey Road. Phil Spector was enlisted in early 1970 to do some post-production work, but did not work with the band as a unit, as George Martin and Glyn Johns had on the sessions themselves. Spector's work was limited to mixing and some overdubs. And, although his use of strings has generated much criticism, by and large he left the original performances to stand as is. Only "The Long And Winding Road" and "Across The Universe" and "I Me Mine" get the wall-of-sound layers of strings and female choruses. Although most of the album, then, has a live-in-the-studio feel, the main problem was that the material wasn't uniformly strong, and that The Beatles themselves were in fairly lousy moods due to inter-group tension. All that said, the album is on the whole underrated. Paul McCartney in particular offers several gems: the gospelish "Let It Be" which has some of his best lyrics, "Get Back" one of his hardest rockers and the melodic "The Long And Winding Road" ruined by Spector's heavy-handed overdubs. The superior string-less, choir-less version was finally released on Anthology Vol. 3. The folky "Two Of Us" with John and Paul harmonizing together, was also a highlight. Most of the rest of the material, by contrast, was going through the motions to some degree, although there are some good moments of straight hard rock in "I've Got A Feeling" and "Dig A Pony". As flawed and bumpy as it is, it's an album well worth having, as when The Beatles were in top form here, they were as good as ever.
