A flurry of noise complaints drew police officers to the rooftop, shutting the concert down after 42 minutes. The midday performance brought London’sWest End to a halt as necks craned skyward from the streets and the windows of neighboring buildings were flung open for better vantage.
On January 30, the cameras and recorders were rolling as The Beatles, with Preston, staged what was to be their final concert on the chilly rooftop of their Savile Row Apple Corps headquarters before a small assembly of family and friends, and any others who were within wind-carried range of their amps. Together they rehearsed brand new originals and jammed on older songs, all captured live and unvarnished.
For 21 days, cameras and tape recorders documented almost every moment: first at Twickenham and then at The Beatles’ own Apple Studio, where Billy Prestonjoined them on keyboards. The Beatles jumped into rehearsals for a project envisioned to get them back to where they once belonged: onstage. On January 2, 1969, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr kickstarted the new year together on a cavernous soundstage at Twickenham Film Studios in London. The physical and digital Super Deluxe collections also feature 27 previously unreleased session recordings, a four-track Let It Be EP, and the never before released 14-track Get Back stereo LP mix compiled by engineer Glyn Johns in May 1969. All the new Let It Be releases feature the new stereo mix of the album as guided by the original “reproduced for disc” version by Phil Spector and sourced directly from the original session and rooftop performance eight-track tapes.
Pepper ‘s Lonely Hearts Club Band (2017), The BEATLES (‘White Album’) (2018), and Abbey Road (2019). The album’s sweeping new Special Edition follows the universally acclaimed remixed and expanded anniversary editions of Sgt. The Let It Be album has been newly mixed by producer Giles Martin and engineer Sam Okell in stereo, 5.1 surround DTS, and Dolby Atmos.
