The Beatles' Let It Be (33 1/3 series)

For: $8.76

The recording sessions for Let It Be actually began as rehearsals for a proposed return to live stage work for the Beatles, to be inaugurated in a concert at a Roman amphitheatre in Tunisia. In this thoroughly researched book, Steve Matteo delves deep into the complex history of these sessions. He talks to a number of people who were in the studio with the Beatles, recording the sights and sounds of the band at work ? bringing to life a period in the Beatles? career that was creative and chaotic in equal measure.

From: Amazon Posted: Oct 08, 2008 Type: User Review A good read if you like the Beatles

I'm a big music fan and I enjoy reading in depth examinations of music, so the 33 1/3 series has really grabbed my attention. The book examining "Let It Be" offers much less insight on the whys of the recording process, but it does a good job...

This was a bit of a disappointment. Sure the casual fan will get all he ever wants to know about the technical and logistical details surrounding Let It Be, both film and album, but most of this stuff can be learned about elsewhere. Even the...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 07, 2007 Type: User Review good chronicle

The author provides a good chronicle of *when* particular songs were recorded in various sessions, but he doesn't say a lot *about* the songs. I would have liked to have seen more about the themes and musical structures that the Beatles explored...

From: Amazon Posted: Apr 04, 2007 Type: User Review Beatles' End

Steve Matteo's entry into the 33 1/3 series is a solid, but fairly uninteresting account of the Beatles' last album and the Get Back sessions and documentary filming. The problem with writing a book about the Beatles is that it's all been said...
