First published in May 1970 around the time i Beatles they melted, the film “Let It Be”directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, now finds its right place within the history of the band.
The film can finally be seen in a new light thanks to Park Road Post Production's meticulous restoration work in the context of the revelations that emerged in Peter Jackson's multi-Emmy Award®-winning docuseries. “The Beatles: Get Back”.
Released on Disney+ in 2021, the docuseries showcases the warmth and complicity of the iconic quartet, capturing a pivotal moment in music history.
The movie “Let It Be”which contains footage not featured in the docuseries “Get Back”takes viewers first to rehearsals, then to the studio and finally to the London rooftop of Apple Corps in January 1969 as the Beatles, joined by Billy Preston, wrote and recorded their GRAMMY Award®-winning album Let It Be, featuring the song Oscar® winner, and perform live for the last time as a band.
In 2021, the album Let It Be by The Beatles was mixed in stereo, 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos by producer Giles Martin and Sam Okell for a series of Special Editions released by Apple Corps Ltd./Capitol/UMe. The Super Deluxe CD, vinyl and digital versions also contain 27 previously unreleased recordings, the EP Let It Be of four tracks and the LP version with the 14 unreleased tracks of Get Backmixed by Glyn Johns in May 1969.
