Description of Let It Be (1990):
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
Let It Be (1990) Reviews:
Beatle Fan's Must Have 
2009-11-26 - It's very simple, this is the best production CD of the "Let It Be" album that has ever been released. If you are a Beatle fan this is a must have item. I have purchased three new remastered CD's (White Album, Let It Be and Abbey Road) so far and plan to purchase the others soon. Trust me on this one!
Great album
2009-11-21 - amazon asked me to review this album. I am happy to say their isnt a beattles album I dont like . The beatles are the best and I recomend this album to everyone it has ben part of my collection for many years
Classic
2009-11-21 - What is a classic? Good question, and certianly one to be considered when, like me, you love your music, and are serious about writting about the music you love. To discuss and understand it and maybe, just maybe, help someone hear an album in a way they have not before, because the same will be done for you. It is not showing your mussles, but sharing your last cigarette with a buddy
To me, a classic can be an album that has so much historical symbolism, it gets the label. Or, it can be music that is just so intrinsicly good, it also grabs the brass ring. It can also, of course, be both.
Well, Let It Be absoluitely gets the first badge. When the best rock band, ever, implodes before your ears, this is that sound. Don't beleive me: Paul hated what was done to "Long and Winding Road." John hated the origional tapes so much he went outside the Beatle circle and gave them to Phil Spector. The Beatles even had to return to EMI, after the smoke cleared a little, and make Abbey Road. Even they did not want to go out with what was then to be called Get Back.
"Get Back," the song, is great--1963 style Beatles rock with 1969 technology and craft. The same can be said for "Dig a Pony," "I Me Mine," and the title track.
"I Got a Feeling." is the type of Delaney and Bonnie roots rock that would have carried the Beatles into the seventies, had things been different. A rocker, but listen to that scale that is the middle eight, and Paul's singing--again, like the young man in the Cavern but with the experiance of a master. As always, with the Beatles, even the simple is never really simple.
But then you have "Two Of Us," "Maggie May." "Across The Universe" is great, but seems patched together by Spector's production, as does "Long And Winding Road." None of these tracks are bad by any standard, except for that of the Beatles.
These guys were exhausted, and hearing this album leads you to understand why they broke up. If you have not read the story, listen to Sgt. Pepper, than listen to this, and the ware is self-evident
Yet, if you don't know this album, you don't know the whole stroy, and with the Beatles, that is just wrong.
Knowing a few albums by the fab four is like making love in an asbestos tuxedo, and who ever wants to do that?
This is still one of the best albums of all time
2009-11-20 - The music is as awesome as it ever was. There is also a short Flash movie on this disk that was a nice unexpected surprise.
long time beatle fan
2009-11-16 - This has always been one of my favorite cds. Being remastered just means it sounds even better.
