The former seems to have a mood closer to that of Let it Be, and Maggie Mae makes a nice lightening of said mood and a great set up for For You Blue.<br /><br />One other suggestion: I used to have a Glyn Johns mix with a reprise of Get Back at the end. Sometimes I miss it, sometimes not. I'm curious what you think.Thadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10517312834954701510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817053733086438907.post-72402989887738036802021-12-06T21:45:05.287-08:002021-12-06T21:45:05.287-08:00I'm working on an upgrade to this.

It looks as though he comped the best takes throughout those weeks as dailies, and the band (with George Martin) decided which takes were best (as the playbacks are actually heard on the Nagra Reels). The final sessions were on January 31st and that was the cutoff point for the album; anything after that was meant for Abbey Road or stopgap singles (Old Brown Shoe, Ballad of J&Y). <br /><br />Knowing this, Glyn was tasked to compile an album in March and the takes must have been at his discretion. This was the first Get Back compilation from May, which The Beatles rejected. He then went back and revised it a few times... Later in the year, he was privy to what was making the cut in Lindsay Hogg's film version--specifically rehearsals of Across The Universe and I Me Mine--so Glyn was instructed to incorporate that into his compilation, so it could be promoted as a more accurate soundtrack. This is where the later 1970 version of Glyn's Get Back stems from, as well as the I Me Mine sessions.<br /><br />But to confuse the matter, The Beatles and George Martin had already added overdubs to some of the Get Back material in March/April (which was not necessarily used by Glyn; I'd have to go back and look it up)... Like new vocals for "Don't Let Me Down"; an edit of the coda of "Get Back"; new guitar solo for "Let It Be". Then in January 1970 George recut his vocal for "For You Blue"; backing vocals and a second guitar solo for "Let It Be". I can't remember which of this was on his revised Get Back compilation, too lazy to check. But this was all before Spector entered the picture.<br /><br />So I guess to answer your question, Glyn wasn't in the position to request *more* songs, although he was in the position to cull an album from the sessions he engineered. I honestly think he was blinded by the stardom of recorded The Beatles, as some of his choices for Get Back were rather questionable. Maybe he felt they could do no wrong? Or maybe he took Lennon's instruction to present the band with their pants down a little to literally? Not sure. soniclovenoizehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07361210247154655351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817053733086438907.post-9348965088772708502019-12-21T23:21:24.246-08:002019-12-21T23:21:24.246-08:00^

In which case, if he had assembled the best available takes of each song and worked out a tracklist the Beatles wouldn't have rejected, we'd probably have ended up with something like this:<br /><br />Side A: ~17 min. Side B: ~16 min.<br />1. One After 909 1. For You Blue<br />2. Dig a Pony 2. The Long and Winding Road<br />3. I've Got a Feeling 3. Two of Us<br />4. Don't Let Me Down 4. Maggie Mae<br />5. Get Back 5. Dig It<br /> 6. Let It Be<br /><br />At 33-34 minutes it's much the same runtime as the Beatles first few LPs which was probably what they were going for anyway with the whole "back to roots" approach. Now it's just a matter of waiting for the inevitable 50th release of Let It Be to see whether Get Back will be given it's due.~GrAnT~https://www.blogger.com/profile/00504150209701681346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817053733086438907.post-83106972501121392942019-12-08T14:36:19.709-08:002019-12-08T14:36:19.709-08:00I've wondered lately wether Glyn Johns could h...I've wondered lately wether Glyn Johns could have requested more songs from the Beatles if he felt the material he was given was insufficient to compile a full album. In which case, maybe tracks like "Old Brown Shoe" and "The Ballad of John and Yoko" could have been included on Get Back rather than "Teddy Boy", "Rocker/Save the Last Dance for Me", and so on. Those two songs would certainly have helped to fill out the contributions from Lennon and Harrison for that tentative July 1969 release date.~GrAnT~https://www.blogger.com/profile/00504150209701681346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817053733086438907.post-20168149132441269742019-10-07T05:02:32.213-07:002019-10-07T05:02:32.213-07:00I've listened to Let it Be, Let it Be...Naked,...I've listened to Let it Be, Let it Be...Naked, and Get Back.

"Not Guilty" doesn't appear in the film, obviously, but it, along with the version of "For You Blue" from the first Glyn Johns mix if available, could help in realizing a 1969 release for the album without anachronisms. Just a thought mind you.~GrAnT~https://www.blogger.com/profile/00504150209701681346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817053733086438907.post-43241890737797562442018-07-03T21:47:50.381-07:002018-07-03T21:47:50.381-07:00I have to say that I concur with this.

I've been revisiting this material for a possible upgrade to this, possibly sticking to a strict summer 1969 guidelines or match it closer to the actual film. But then you are forced to exclude "I Me Mine" and "Across The Universe" completely, and the album loses a lot of weight. <br /><br />But then you get down to the nature of this project-- The Beatles abandoned the "live only!" ethos even before Phil Spector:<br />- "Get Back" featured an edit of two takes made in April 1969<br />- "Let It Be" had it's guitar solo replaced in April 1969; then a second guitar solo, a new bass track, backing vocals and George Martin's horns added January 1970. This was the single version. <br />- "For You Blue" received a new lead vocal in January 1970<br /><br />The question is, what actually is a pure live-only Get Back/Let It Be? As 1969 progressed, it became very convoluted and there doesn't seem to be any definitive Get Back that is releasable. Working on it though. soniclovenoizehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07361210247154655351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817053733086438907.post-24261000545272838762017-04-27T22:06:39.384-07:002017-04-27T22:06:39.384-07:00Come to think of it, Phil Spector's choice of ...Come to think of it, Phil Spector's choice of takes and edits are still present to some extent so I think I've answered my own question: alternate Let It Be.
