The Beatles - Let It Be [602507138653 UK 2021 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC]

Rather than let George Martin get the appropriate production credit, The Beatles chose to let Phil Spector smother it with effects and over-dubs, then give the disgraced American the final production credit, and then spent the next fifty years trying to put it right. 

I am not enough of a Beatles aficionado to contrast, compare and provide a worthy opinion - I come from the post-punk-industrial generation, however I could not resist the re-hype regarding Peter Jackson's expansive re-work of the accompanying movie. I am slowly working through that, meanwhile I succumbed to this purchase to hear what all the fuss was about.

Mastered using the DMM method by Miles Showell, likely from a digital file (that seems to be the Abbey Road way these days) of the Giles Martin & Sam OKell remix from analogue tapes, and pressed onto special non-flat vinyl by Optimal Media in Germany.

  3. As a certified Beatles aficionado, for me the Spector-produced release is the ur-version and all others are (mostly) Paul having second (and third and fourth) opinions. He is welcome to those, but this is the real thing. Thanks for this - my sixth version, I believe. What's your take on this vs the de Agostini version?

    1. I've not heard the Agostini version? I think theAdhams posted a rip over on ESWA a few years back but I have never had the chance to liste. I have some of the Agostini Jazz lps and they don't sound too bad.
