- Italian release
The Italian release of the "Let It Be" album is a significant part of Beatles history. The Italian album is a unique and collectible item for Beatles fans and features some of the band's most iconic songs, including "Let It Be" and "Get Back."
The Beatles' "Let It Be" album, released in 1970, holds a significant place in music history, and its Italian release further adds to its cultural and historical importance. The album, issued by Apple Records, captures the essence of the band's final studio recordings during the tumultuous "Get Back" sessions in 1969.
The Italian release, pressed on a 12" vinyl LP format, showcased twelve tracks that have become timeless classics, including iconic hits such as "Let It Be," "Get Back," and "The Long and Winding Road." Released in 1970 by EMI Italiana, the album made its way to Italy shortly after its debut in the UK and the US on 8 May 1970.
One of the notable aspects of the Italian release is its role in preserving the historic Beatles' rooftop concert. This concert, held atop the Apple Corps building in London, marked the culmination of the "Get Back" sessions and served as the band's final live performance. The entirety of this rooftop concert, a pivotal moment in the Beatles' career, is included in the album, making it a cherished record for fans and music enthusiasts alike.
The album's packaging, featuring an original dark brownish inner sleeve, adds to the overall aesthetic appeal and authenticity of the Italian release. The record label, Apple 3C 062-04433, signifies its association with Apple Records and the year 1970, placing it firmly within the context of the band's final studio recordings.
Furthermore, the "Let It Be" album's contribution to the music scene during its time period is noteworthy. Its release in 1970 marked the end of an era for The Beatles and the culmination of their transformative journey in the music industry. The album not only encapsulates the band's musical prowess but also serves as a historical artifact, preserving the magic of their last live performance.
