On this day 44 years ago, the Beatles released ‘Let it Be’

On this day 44 years ago, the Beatles released ‘Let it Be’

May 08, 2024

On the 8th of May, 1970, music history was made when The Beatles unveiled Let It Be their twelfth and final studio masterpiece. Originally scheduled for release prior to Abbey Road, Let It Be encountered numerous hurdles, including internal conflict, which reflected the band's tumultuous state at the time.

Despite this, Let It Be ended up becoming a cherished and iconic record. The album is full with timeless tracks, including: ‘Let It Be’, ‘Get Back’, ‘The Long and Winding Road’, and ‘Across the Universe’. Phil Spector's distinctive Wall of Sound production imbues the album with a rich, layered texture that underscores some of The Beatles' most poignant performances.

The album's release was complemented by a documentary film, also titled Let It Be, offering an unvarnished look at The Beatles' creative struggles. This film has since become a cult favourite, capturing the essence of an era and the group's complex dynamics. More recently, Peter Jackson reimagined this documentary in The Beatles: Get Back, a series that debuted on Disney+ in 2021, providing new insights into the iconic band's final chapter.

The launch of Let It Be on May 8, 1970, signified the closing of a monumental chapter in music history. Yet, the end of The Beatles as a band doesn't mean the end of our journey with their music.

In celebration of their enduring legacy, take a look at our Beatles-inspired poster: a visual tribute to the timeless magic of the band.
