For a band that so much has been written about already, I was blown away with how much insight and attention to detail that Jerry brings to my favorite subject. It is this attention to detail why Warren included Jerry in this awesome series for PLAP.

I was extremely fortunate to have met Billy Preston at his Beatles Fest appearance in 2005, a year or so before he left us, what a guy!

Paul has always said very clearly that he did *not* approve Spector's mix of 'The Long and Winding Road', and that by the time he heard it the timing of things meant that it was too late to remix it for the album. And it should also be noted that the final version of the 'Let It Be' film was not down to director Michael Lindsay-Hogg: rather, Allen Klein (who was representing John, George and Ringo as their manager) decreed that the footage should only include The Beatles, which must have influenced the feel of the film.

I got the “Naked” version as a gift for Christmas when it came out, so glad it was released, can’t wait for the Peter Jackson film of all the footage from the studio. Great interview with Jerry, thanks Warren.

The craziest thing no one mentions about Let It Be is that they gave themselves THREE AND A HALF WEEKS to write and record an album and conceive and execute some kind of concert finale, all while being filmed in a foreign work environment under hot lights and at a time when they couldn't agree on anything. They should have had at least three months. Nowadays it would take a year and half.

Love, love this alternative version of the album: Let It Be... Naked is an alternative mix of the Beatles' 1970 album Let It Be, released on 17 November 2003 by Apple Records. The project was initiated by Paul McCartney, who felt that the original album's producer, Phil Spector, did not capture the group's intended stripped-down aesthetic. I especially love the de-Spectorized version of The Long and Winding Road. A must for any Beatles fan!

I think, even though Let It Be Naked started with a noble motive, it falls a bit flat for me. The mixes seem lifeless. There are some horrible editing choices. They try to mimic Spector on I Me Mine, but goofed it up. They frankensteined two takes of I've Got A Feeling. I like the original The Long And Winding Road and it's nice to have that version, but let's face it, Spector turned that into a #1 hit. The original Let It Be album is perfect really.

There was a story that George gave his Gibson acoustic (pictured at 21.16) to Bob Dylan and that the guitar is the one that Dylan is holding the guitar on the front of his 'Nashville Skyline' album. I would say that George's songwriting started to come into its own on 'Revolver', with 'Taxman', 'I Want to Tell You', and 'Love You To'. The latter features an incredibly mature and economical presentation of a Hindstani Classical Music Khyal form - very clever.

What a great review and recollection by Jerry Hammack, of the Beatles Let it Be recording sessions. This brings an entirely new appreciation to this epic album by the Beatles, for anyone who has the time to listen to this nearly hour long interview. His meticulous research and historical documentation of all the instrumentation, separate takes, and the sentiments of each Beatles use of musical instruments, as to the details of how they composed and recorded each number is especially enjoyable to hear. The relevant rare photographs mated to the narrative is also quite enjoyable to see. I also took note of Mr Hammack's expressing about the producer-director Peter Jackson working on the new Beatles Get Back movie. Thank you for posting this.

Please, Warren - can you consider Talk Talk's 'Spirit of Eden'? Phill Brown's excellent biography - 'Are We Still Rolling?' (edited by the wonderful Larry Crane) covers some of the legendary and completely unique recording sessions at Wessex, but some more insight would just be beyond marvellous. I guarantee it would mean so much to so, so many people. It would be immense if you could do 'Spirit of Eden', if I could help in any way here in England, I'd be happy to travel and help in any way logistically or organising or just do some leg work if Phill Brown, Paul Webb (or even the more elusive Lee Harris) would be interested.

At age 7, I was lucky enough to get a free garbage-picked copy of the Capitol US “Rubber Soul” from my parents’ friends’ sons & started picking songs off it to play on the accordion. At 12, I’d made the [very sensible] switch to guitar and bought a $1.99 cutout copy of “Let it Be”, basically the bargain of all time. And more great songs to learn! It was Paul’s & John’s harmony singing, the guitar playing and the FUN it sounded like they were having that inspired my friends & I to get a band together so WE could have fun like that. Turns out my life in music was already a done deal. Jerry, thanks for the hard work you’ve obviously done gathering all this detail, and thanks to you & Warren for presenting it all so well.

I totally concur. I love me some "Let It Be". While it's hard to pick a favorite album with the Beatles, I guess by default this one is mine since I've definitely listened to it from beginning to end more than any other. It was the first Beatles CD I bought when the 2009 reissues came out, as I had long worn out my vinyl copy years earlier. Don't tell anybody I told ya, but over a dozen years ago, I got my greedy hands on a bootleg audio copy of the rooftop concert. 😉 I find it interesting that they performed "I've Got A Feeling" and "Don't Let Me Down" twice, and "Get Back" thrice. Around the same time, I also got my greedy hands on a copy of the entire "Dig It" jam. I really dig it. "This time you're really gonna get it good!" Oh, and back in '18, I got picked as a winner during your live interview with Jerry, and won Vol. 2 of his TBRRM series. There's a lot of interesting stuff in there, and real insight into how they made records back in the '60s. I really need to pick up the other volumes and complete the collection.

Phil Spector was essential to making this album work.

This is a great insight Warren and breakdown with who did what so fabulously explained. Convinced John just went with the emerging flow regardless of the time signatures and, the differing chord changes on Across The Universe probably worked in if they appeared when writing and put in, as say a producer might like a delay tail on a verse line. Weaving paper through the piano strings an absolute gem. Go Johnny go and I hope we parrr....ssed the audition. All those little bits help make it all sound live. My fave song to sing Don’t Let Me Down and yes the classic Lennon missing out lyrics despite Paul’s nudges live, as in Help but, the fixes later really catapult this song. Beautiful and what a great follow up to the RS124 re;ease and forthcoming Peter Jackson film of Let It Be magic no doubt. 100% Jerry x

Love this, Warren! One album that was a mainstay of my childhood through to today was Who's Next. If you know someone, wink wink nudge nudge!

Really enjoyed this show! I feel as though some remake-edits reference to modern "Naked Let it Be" should had been included as well. I learned so much!

Thanks for watching, Kevin - I try and stick with the work that was contemporary to The Beatles career in the studio. The "Naked" variations are a story in and of themselves!

Don't forget Lennon/ McCartney also made three albums with brass music, I have them here on vinyl. Very rare albums. I was born @ 66, so I grew up with these guys, The Beatles and Elvis Presley were hammered in my head, my dad was a DJ and always played louder than loud.

@@thebeatlesrecordingreferen8667 I totally hear you and your right but I was referring to Lennon being musically more sophisticated rather than love of them. I love both in equal measures as the greatest song writers in history. I think Paul wrote Eleanor Rigby at the age of 21 and in 1967 wrote what I would say is the most musically sophisticated Beatles song ever written "She's Leaving Home" Again really great video from you both but I disagree :)

McCartney, musicianship wise, was the best out of the three Beatles, (Lennon, McCartney and Harrison). On the bass guitar he was better than Lennon at the guitar (actually he is a genius on the bass guitar, not so much sure about Lennon on the guitar) , as a lead guitar player he also was better than both Lennon and Harrison (McCartney played some of the best and most sophisticated guitar solos in the whole Beatles repertoire, like for example the one on Taxman which is absolutely genius and original, on Good Morning, Good Morning, on The End etc.), McCartney was responsible for some of the most complex and advanced arrangements in the whole catalogue of Beatles songs, even responsible for some of John Lennon's songs arrangements within the Beatles catalogue. In fact McCartney was way before Lennon into the avantgarde and not like some people believe Lennon was. It was McCartney who taught the other Beatles how to make tape loops in general and for Tomorrow Never Knows, he played the Mellotron on Strawberry Fields Forever, it was mainly his idea to use the Orchestral crescendo on A Day In The Life etc. As a matter of fact, once Lennon complained how McCartney tended to make some arrangements for certain Lennon's songs, too complex and experimental. Overall McCartney was in better terms with George Martin when it comes to music production, because he knew better than the other Beatles, how production more or less works and also and also knew better about more technical music stuff than the others, well at least at the times of the Beatles he was. Basically he had a more common language with Martin about production stuff. And then, correct me if I am wrong, but McCartney can play more instrument s than the rest the rest of the Beatles and was arguably better technically Wise on the same instruments that the other played. So yeah, McCartney is still very underrated compared to Lennon, but that has probably more to do with the fact that Lennon was the autor of some of the most complex songs within the Beatles' repertoire, but in order to make some of his songs more complex and sophisticated, he needed McCartney's help. P. S. Now I am not so much sure whether after the Beatles disbanded, McCartney was a better Lead Guitarists than Harrison, cuz after the Beatles, Harrison got even better on the guitar, especially better as the Slide Guitar, which he has gradually mastered

There never be a better band then The Beatles. I love this album (and all their albums) Great show. I actually like the Spector version best. Thanx for the explanations.

An interesting sonic feature of 'Let It Be' (the track) is that there is so much compression on it that the pulsing caused by the compression adds several 'beats'/instances of Ringo's hi hat to the sound (listen to the 'Let It Be Naked' album version of the track to hear the song without that effect).

I’m very much looking forward to a break down of the song Who Are You with you Warren. This was such a well put together song and mix. Everything fit together so well and the song was arranged where nothing ever got in the way of another part. There is so much air and amazing imagery that exists in this production. The Bass sounds Amazing! The drums are never in conflict. I’ll let you comment further, I’m only stating the obvious.

Sometime try to find the isolated track of Townshend BB King-ish guitar riffs throughout "Who Are You"; they're amazing.

Interesting musical trivia on the Bluthner pianos, they had an extra string (4 instead of 3) on each note of the upper octaves.

I agree that listening to the bootlegged Nagra reels gives you a different perspective on the sessions than watching the Let It Be film. There’s a guy here on YT who’s cleaned up a lot of the Nagra audio and uncovered some real gems, such as an early up-tempo version of Get Back with Lennon & McCartney singing unison lead. Lennon in particular sounds really into the song.

Thanks for watching, David - yes the Nagra reels are revelatory. Purple Chick's AB Road is a particularly complete collection.

Great video. Excellent track by track run down. I always understood the last Beatles recording session to be January 4th 1970. I prefer the Let It Be (naked) album and track listing but in particular the version of Let It Be (the song) on that album.

I was surprised that nobody mentioned that this session ("The Threetles") was after John had left the group.

I think McCartney only went back to the Hofner bass because the whole sessions were to be filmed and therefore were a visual picture of the band. I think he must have thought that it was more recognized as his Beatles instrument. I think he cared about the image of the Beatles. He was more of a marketing guy than the others were. He hadn’t used this bass since Rubber Soul and once again dropped it for Abbey Road. I think it’s the same reason he uses that bass in his concerts today just for the visual picture.

It's possible. May well be part of the "Get back" to basics concept too. The modified '61 Hofner did appear in the "Revolution" promo video - probably not on the actual studio recording though (which they are singing to in the video). Trying to wrack my mind, are there no other photos of it from '68, like from the White Album sessions?

I saw a recent interview with McCartney where he says that someone (I can't remember who) convinced him to go back to the Hofner because of its iconic look and he also commented that it doesn't weigh much (is it hollow like a violin?) so it is less tiring to hold it for a long concert (especially at his current age I guess that's extra important).

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
