Q&A

Is Let It Be your biggest Beatles undertaking so far?

It’s certainly one of the most technically challenging projects, because of the varied source material. We decided we were going to mix it the same way as we’d done the previous ones – , the ‘White Album’ and – but is weird because not all four Beatles were involved by the end of it. Famously, Paul was unhappy with it. Ringo, John, George and Allen Klein got Phil Spector in and took the recordings from the sessions. I phoned up Paul[], it didn’t make sense not to touch the album that everyone knows. And he went, “You’re absolutely right.”
