Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential recording:
The Beatles' last days as a band were as productive as any major pop phenomenon that was about to split. After recording the ragged-but-right Let It Be, the group held on for this ambitious effort, an album that was to become their best-selling. Though all four contribute to the first side's writing, John Lennon's hard-rocking, "Come Together" and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" make the strongest impression. A series of song fragments edited together in suite form dominates side two; its portentous, touching, official close ("Golden Slumbers"/"Carry That Weight"/"The End") is nicely undercut, in typical Beatles fashion, by Paul McCartney's cheeky "Her Majesty," which follows. --Rickey Wright

The Real Thing 5 out of 5 stars
For once it wasn't just a commercial gimmick. This remastered edition is truly sensational for any Beatles fan. Well worth it even if you own an older CD version.

The result is excellent even on my smaller CD system. If you liked the 2003 "Let it be...Naked" remaster, you are going to ... Read More
