I definitely prefer the title Get Back, but either way I'm glad they're finally releasing the album. It's how it was originally intended to be released. I'm sad about them cutting Dig It and Maggie Mae, but I've still got the original release. And Dig It is available in bootleg format in an 8+ minute version. Hopefully they'll go back and release more old stuff, and the movie LET IT BE, the best concert video ever made.

I hope your referring to his actual murder of that woman rather than the metaphorical 'murder' of Let It Be because he gets a bum rap for the latter.

That?s news to me, but then again I don?t follow new Beatles releases. I didn?t much approve of their selection of songs on ?Number 1?, I?ll haf to look into this one.
you don't approve that they went to no. 1? that was the sole criteria, no?
no. 1 in us or uk.

The Beatles didn't really select the songs on that album, the fans did. It was a CD with all of their #1 hits. Of course, they could have not released it, but it was just a novelty.

i think it was a good idea, it's not for you or me obviously, but it exposed the fabs to a lot of new listeners.
i thought the big shame was that all the media exposure went to the release of the anthology series, they sold so well, and i thought at the time that these three anthologies are probably the only beatles cd's in many peoples collections, which would be a shame. no. 1's rectified this.
as for let it be, the nice thing about the album and hopefully the reissue will amplify this, is they were having fun.
the movie verifies this, in spite of the the arguments (george to paul "i'll play if you like or i won't play at all if you like") yoko's ominous presence and paul's seemingly inability to not be aware of the camera. there is a lot of fun in the movie. i'd kill to see a longer version of the movie, or actually just a reissue of the movie.
caveat: i admit to liking the strings on "winding road"
