The Get Back / Let It Be sessions have faced numerous revisions right from the start when Phil Spector joined the project to produce an album from the abandoned sessions – It’s rather unfathomable that some of these great songs were facing the cutting room floor.

It might not always be exciting, but as far as this bureau is concerned, it agrees with Rick Beato’s perspective that it’s endlessly fascinating. Thankfully Disney’s head honchos didn’t get their wishes.

Jackson has stated that he wants to show a happier take on the band’s relationships at the time. A bold goal given that the recording sessions were eventually abandoned with Phil Spector’s pasting together sessions and producing a mix that McCartney would late re-do.
