Beatles to Re-Release Stripped Down Album

Friday, January 31st, 2003

I feel like a bad Beatles fan. I didn’t even know that Phil “Wall of Sound” Spector produced the original “Let it Be” album. According to Beatles to Re-Release Stripped Down Album, a newly “de-Spectorized” version will come out in the fall:

The surviving Beatles are planning to re-release “Let It Be” the way they intended: stripped down. The album will have the same track listing, but it will not have the orchestration that producer Phil Spector added to it after the band broke up.

    Many of us baby boomers are shocked to learn that The Wrecking Crew [a 'perfect storm' of professional studio backup players] and Phil Spector [one of their members] were responsible for a huge majority of our radio hits during the 1960s and 70s. Everybody from Cher, to Frank and Nancy Sinatra, to The Monkees to The Beach Boys to Simon and Garfunkel and even Elvis and The Beatles used The Wrecking Crew to ensure their music became hits. Google “The Wrecking Crew” to learn the true history of your youth you never knew.
