The classic original Beatles studio albums have been re-mastered by a dedicated team of engineers at Abbey Road Studios in London over a four year period utilising state of the art recording technology alongside vintage studio equipment, carefully maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the original analogue recordings. The result of this painstaking process is the highest fidelity the Beatles catalogue has seen since its original release.
Within each CD's new packaging, booklets include detailed historical notes along with informative recording notes. For a limited period, each CD will also be embedded with a brief documentary film about the album. The newly produced mini-documentaries on the making of each album, directed by Bob Smeaton, are included as QuickTime files on each album. The documentaries contain archival footage, rare photographs and never-before-heard studio chat from The Beatles, offering a unique and very personal insight into the studio atmosphere.

Summary: Classic
Comment: 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?

Summary: The Beatles implode.
Comment: There are moments of greatness here, to be sure. And times when the band sounds like they are actually having fun. And sadly, of course, there is Phil Spector's smothering production, from the sappy strings and choir on Paul's gentle "Long and Winding Road", to his knob-twiddling distortion of John's vocal on "Across the Universe." Spector of course was given the unenviable task of plowing through the miles of session tapes from the aborted 'Get Back' album, and he should at least be credited for assembling a halfway coherent album. Although it is essential listening for Beatles fans, 'Let It Be' is by and large a downer, a document of a great rock band disintegrating from within.
