レット・イット・ビー - ザ・ビートルズ

マッカートニーとフィル・スペクターの確執は知らないでもありませんが、それを補って余りある名曲です。黄昏時に聴くと、非常にそそります。

ありがとうございました。

中古品ですが状態はとてもよく満足しています

Special Editionを購入。アナログ時代から輸入盤で聴いて居たAlbum。Special Editionだとオマケが付いていて、それが、また素晴らしい。全ての収録曲が素晴らしい。概ねスタジオ録音なのだろうが、ライブ感も感じさせる。個人的に、The Beatlesの最高の名曲だと思っている”The Long and Winding Roard"はやはり良い曲だと思う。

わかりません。

ビートルズはとにかくリミックス版、色々な形で再発売されるのでどれがいいといえませんが、曲が良いのでどのCDも納得すると思います。余談ですが、何十年も前にモービルフェデリティというところが、一番最初にレコーディングした本当のオリジナルマスターを使ったCDを発売していました（最初に録音したテープは門外不出で原則厳重保管されるので、レコード会社でもそれを使ってレコード、CDを制作できなかった。モービルフェデリティは相当の使用料を払ったと聞いています！）

懐かしい

録音時の様子を頭に描きながら聴いてます。

Enjoyed this immensely!

As the Fab Four began to experience the disillusion that eventually overcame the hippie movement in the late '60s and early '70s, understanding that they were heading to different corners, they wanted to do something to inject new life into the band and maybe a vitality that would bring them together and carry them forward. The result was "Let It Be".

Although it ultimately didn't work to salvage the band, it is a remarkable work of art in it's own right and probably laid the foundation for their final, and what many consider to be their finest, album, "Abbey Road".

It still surprises many people when they hear that "Let It Be" was actually recorded before "Abbey Road". It is somewhat surprising to realize the contrasting sounds of the two albums are due, in large part, to the band's efforts to sound raw and live with "Let It Be" and their apparent acceptance that they wanted to end with a smoothly-engineered masterpiece such as "Abbey Road".

But getting back to "Let It Be", it is widely known and acknowledged that John, with the agreement of the band, wanted that raw, live sound to dominate the album. This led to the "rooftop" concert. It is a testament to the talent of the individuals involved that they could sound so cohesive and play so well in the cold and damp of those rooftop recordings. "Get Back", "Don't Let Me Down" (not included on this disk), "I've Got A Feeling", "One After Nine-O-Nine", "I Dig A Pony" all were played during this concert and much of the recorded material was mixed into the final versions released on the album.

In watching the film recorded of the band in the studio, those sessions were very loose and off-the-cuff, incorporating covers of old rock tunes; some Beatles tunes, some other covers. None of the arguing reported during the recording of the "White Album" was evident, but there were glimpses of friction or tension in some of the scenes on film. Overall, it appears that they are either having some fun or bored stiff, with little in between.

All of this relates to the sound of the album in that there are diverse directions in this collection of what amounted to over 30 hours of tape that sat for months, waiting to be edited. And while some of the material does sound raw and live, Phil Spector's handling of much of the material ended up making it sound polished and engineered. Not that either one, in itself, is a bad thing, but it speaks to the dysfunction that was going on in the band at that time. Paul has been quoted as saying that he didn't care for the orchestration of "Long And Winding Road", despite the fact that it may have been the biggest hit from the album. Some younger people might be able to relate the wishes and problems that the Beatles had with the sound of the album to the way Kurt Cobain felt about "Nevermind"; which he felt wasn't raw enough and was over-engineered, too polished.

Having said all that, it is actually my opinion that the diversity of the album is a perfect union of the talent involved and the divergent attitudes of the individuals. From the rawness of "I've Got A Feeling" to the polished beauty of the title cut "Let It Be", this album and the project surrounding it became the last public glimpse of what many people consider the greatest rock band ever.

this was the last album the beatles recorded together. there are several poignant tracks, an angry one, "i me mine" and a humourous song, "maggie may". my favourites are get back, across the universe, let it be and the long and winding road.

there are comical introductions of john and paul to some of the songs, giving us samples of the way john and paul interacted together. magical.

Buen producto

amazing!
