THE BEATLES "let it be" vinyl/cd 1970
the second last and shelved Beatle album, but final released studio album by the Fab Four...although maybe not so fab by then..well, certainly not to eachother anyway!
thought i'd get this one out to play after several comments in regards to the 'quality of material' on it in another thread here a week or so ago...
tracks were polished up for release as a final studio album with the blessing of John Lennon...Paul was not happy about the studio treatment of his "let it be" and "long and winding road" tracks, and eventually over the last several years it has been re-released under the title "let it be-naked" with the tracks released as Macca had inteneded them to be heard...
anyway,
i do like this album, and not love it as i thought i did...from the Simon & Garfunkel sounding "two of us", through the blues rock of "get back", to the classic ballads mentioned a couple of lines back up the page...and including what i consider one of Lennon's finest songs, "across the universe", to Harrison's rocker "i me mine"...all up a very good album, but for me there are three real bad tracks on here.."dig it", "one after 909" and "for you blue", the other eight share the like and love score with four a piece...unfortunately, as far as Beatle albums go, this is a dud, but for most other performers, they would be proud to have an album of this quality...just goes to show how great the Beatles were that even a bad album for them scores 2.1!!!
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
rating: 2.1
