How many "Get Back/Let it Be" albums? This many!

 

*The first version of the original "Get Back" album, produced by Johns, now officially released on the new "Let it Be" boxed set (top.) A bootleg of the same album (bottom) in superb sound quality appeared in 1985.


*The original boxed set "Let it Be" album, finished by Spector, with the huge photo book of the sessions inside, released in 1970 (Goes for a grand or so on eBay today.)


*The original gatefold "Let it Be" album, finished by Spector, released at the same time as the original boxed set. (Same songs as in boxed set.)


*"The Beatles Anthology, Vol. 3," disc two, which is largely comprised of alternate "Get Back/Let it Be" songs, released in 1996.


*"Let it Be. . .Naked," McCartney's pet project to correct the mess made by Spector, released in 2003. No orchestras, new mixes.


*"Let it Be" remastered. The original Spectorized album in improved sound quality, released 2009.


 *Let it Be," remixed by Giles Martin and Sam Okell, released in 2021. With the original "Get Back" album, outtakes, remixes, book.


*The original "Get Back" bootleg on Lemon Records, leaked in September, 1969, consisting of mostly earlier takes of the songs from the sessions. (Note: there were several bootlegs at this time, with varying content, but this one was the most complete.)

*There were four attempts by Glyn Johns to compile a finished "Get Back" album. His fourth pass, shown here, added the original version of "I Me Mine" and "Across the Universe." His first pass (see album at top of page) was famously bootlegged in 1985, and this bootleg came along shortly after, complete with proposed cover.
