The Beatles - Let It Be
Copyright - 1970 EMI Records Ltd.

Let It Be is a song written by Paul McCartney (although credited to Lennon/McCartney), and released March 1970, as a single, and as the title track of their album Let It Be.

The single reached #1 in the U.S., Australia, Italy, Norway and Switzerland and #2 in the UK

McCartney said he wrote “Let It Be”, after a dream he had had about his mother during the tense period surrounding the Get Back/Let It Be sessions. McCartney explained that his mother—who died of cancer when McCartney was fourteen—was the inspiration for the “Mother Mary” lyric. McCartney later said, “It was great to visit with her again. I felt very blessed to have that dream. So that got me writing ‘Let It Be’.” He also said—in a later interview about the dream—that his mother had told him, “It will be alright, just let it be.”

Recording and version history
The master take was recorded on 31 January 1969, as part of the ‘Apple studio performance’ for the project Get Back. McCartney played piano (a Blüthner Flügel from Leipzig), Lennon played bass, Billy Preston played organ and George Harrison and Ringo Starr assumed their conventional roles. This performance, in which Lennon and Harrison harmonised with McCartney’s lead vocal and Harrison contributed a subdued guitar solo, can be seen in the film Let It Be.

On 30 April 1969, Harrison overdubbed a new guitar solo on the best take from 31 January that year. Harrison reportedly overdubbed another solo on 4 January 1970. The first overdub solo was used for the original single release, and the second overdub solo was used for the original album release. Some fans mistakenly believe that there were two versions of the basic track - based mostly on the different guitar solos, but also on some other differences in overdubs and mixes.

The title on the cover for the single (using the same photos as on the cover as the Let It Be album) was written as, “an intimate bioscopic experience with THE BEATLES”. It was originally released as a single on 6 March 1970, backed by “You Know My Name (Look up the Number)”, and produced by George Martin. This version includes orchestration and backing vocals overdubbed on 1970-01-04—under the supervision of McCartney—with the backing vocals including the only known contribution by Linda McCartney to a Beatles song (but see “Birthday” It was during this same session that Harrison recorded the second overdubbed guitar solo. The intention at one point was to have the two overdub solos playing together, but this idea was dropped for the final mix of the single and only the 30 April solo was used (although the 4 January overdub can he heard faintly during the final verse). Martin mixed the orchestration very low in this mix.

The single version was included on the 1967-1970 compilation album. Original pressings erroneously show the album version’s running time of 4:01, and not the single version’s running time of 3:52.

Lyrics:
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right it front of me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer
Let it be
For though they may be parted there is
still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
yeah, there will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow
Let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
There will be an answer
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

The Beatles - Dig It

Copyright - 1970 EMI Records Ltd.

“Dig It” is a song by The Beatles featured on their album Let It Be. The 51-second version on the album is an extract taken from a 12-minute jam (recorded at the Get Back/Let It Be Sessions in January 1969 at Apple Studio), which evolved from a loose “Twist and Shout” jam. A segment of the jam session, clocking in at 4:30, appears in the documentary film Let It Be. The participants in that session are John Lennon on vocals and George Harrison on guitar, Paul McCartney on piano, Ringo Starr on drums, and Billy Preston at the organ.

During the jam, Lennon sings the main lyric with interjections from Harrison, while McCartney sings a baritone backup vocal of “dig it up, dig it up, dig it up” and variations.

The 51-second excerpt on the Let It Be album fades in on Lennon’s second “Like a rolling stone” and concludes with Lennon speaking in a falsetto: “That was ‘Can You Dig It?’ by Georgie Wood, and now we’d like to do ‘Hark, The Angels Come’.” The second sentence of that line is cut off in Let It Be’s film recording of the jam session. (”Wee Georgie Wood” was a 4′9″ music-hall performer and child star.)

There was only one other performance of the song, this time clocking in at about 6:50, when Lennon sings the “famous persons” part (mentioning “the FBI”, “the CIA”, “the BBC”, “B.B. King”, “Doris Day”, and “Matt Busby”) at the beginning; and during the rest of the song he shouts out the titles of all of the tracks on the Let It Be album.

This song and the 39-second “Maggie Mae” appear on the Let It Be album, but are not included on the Let It Be… Naked album, instead being replaced with “Don’t Let Me Down”.

“Dig It” is credited to Lennon-McCartney-Harrison-Starkey, and is one of only a few songs to be credited to all of the Beatles; the others are “Flying” from Magical Mystery Tour, “Suzy Parker” from the Let It Be film, “12-Bar Original” from Anthology 2 and the Beatles’ version of “Free as a Bird”.

A live acoustic version appears on John Lennon’s 31st Birthday Party bootleg. The bootleg which is included on the Complete Lost Lennon Tapes has guest appearances by Phil Spector and Ringo Starr. The song also incorporates Twist and Shout, Louie Louie and a stronger influence of Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone”.
