The Banality of Genius: Notes on Peter Jackson's Get Back (2022)

The Let it be album is also from this session, thought Abbey road was the album that was released by the Beatles. Let it be was released later (after the band broke up) as a money grab from the studio without autorization from the Beatles (except maybe Lennon). Paul really disliked it because of the bad mixing and post-production applied by Phil Specter.

Some years ago they re-released Let it be, renamed as Let it be Naked. This time it was remixed and authorized by the remaining Beatles and ... it's really good. Much simpler, much clearer and without the soul-less violin sounds from Phil Specter.

I can recommend giving it a listen and compare it to the original Let it be album.

I much prefer the Let It Be...Naked album to the original Let It Be, to the point where I haven't heard the songs from the latter in a long time. In my head at least, the former album is the definitive one.

I like the original more. Maybe just because I got used to it. Mere familiarity effect dominates music.
