UNBOXING The Beatles Let It Be Vinyl & CD Box Sets 2021

[@BeAGoodDoga]

In my opinion, the Glyn Johns Get Back album should be given a seperate release, especially for those who don’t want or can’t afford the box set.

[@Pacmanfan-po9rn]

That is the only thing I want from the set :(

[@Gigidag77]

And it should be the full 1970 mix analogue from the olympic studio master tape, not some hotchpotch edit mix made from 2 different master tapes (1969+1970) they did on the new set with tons of errors... + the 2 tracks on the EP are from an old bootleg CD in horrid soundquality...

[@Ft.Gagiano]

yes!

[@paulaidenmusic]

I’m guessing the American copies would have been pressed at QRP, they did the new mixes of Sgt Pepper and The White Album and they would put them above Optimal overall.

I literally got an ad for the box set before this video!

[@geoffboots4305]

I just happened upon this review. As a huge Beatles fan, I bought every single and LP (sorry, I still don't call them 'albums') as they were released in the 60s. Wonderful times. I even bought George's Wonderwall LP in mono. For ease and protection I tend to play the CDs - and I must admit the mono box set was manna from heaven. But sites like this have alerted me to the chance that my vinyl collection may be more than just a few pence/dollars. Thanks for that. Geoff Boots.

The Glyn Johns mix album is what catches my eye. I always felt it needed an official release. The Let It Be Naked album always left me cold tbh.

Hi Andrew. Thanks for this video surprise. I was curious about how the CD box compared to the LP set. I will be getting both & The 2 CD & the picture disc too. Overkill but that's how I roll lol. I did the same with the others. Interesting they included the hardcover book with both LP & CD sets this time around. The book was usually reserved for the CD boxes while the LP versions just got a gatefold insert. The LP version of Pepper was just the 2LP version compared to the other subsequent LP boxed sets. This LIB 50th LP set has received more lavish treatment here. Thanks again. Cheers mate. 😊

Fun fact, in 1971, capitol did use some apple 45 sleeves where is just said apple only in the USA. But those variants are rare in the USA

[@casperguylkn]

The way it went in the U.S. was it was just Apple for the other artists on the label, with The Beatles on Apple, obviously, for the 4 together. Sleeves got mixed up sometimes.

[@jtmichaelson]

So... all this and there is no 2021 remix of the "Get Back" single, no single version of "Don't Let Me Down" or "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)" and the entire "sessions" 2-CD portion of the set fits onto one single CD. And the only way to get the Glyn Johns version is to fork out for the entire set.

[@jeffreyroedel9804]

The single version of Don't Let Me Down is on the 'Let It Be EP' in this set. I suspect the Get Back single and You Know My Name remixes are being saved for a reissue of Past Masters. Valid point about the length of the CDs. Although there's no guarantee they'd have sold this box for less if it had the same music content but one less CD...A nice gatefold 2LP with Let it Be as disc 1 and Get Back as disc 2 would have been cool.

[@shadshowadradna]

Get Back was remixed for the 2015 1+ set.

[@michaelharrington75]

You know the Beatles are going to milk their fans for every penny. They always do. After all that "being fair to the fans" they did in the 60's by not including singles on the albums "so fans didn't have to buy the same songs twice".

[@mjanovec]

Thanks for the comparison of both sets. While I only ordered the CD set, I would love to get a copy of the Glyn Johns Get Back LP on it's own. Secondly, it appears the Apple "label" on the CDs is more attractive than the reproduction on the LP labels. It's got a darker tone that is more in line with the original style. Finally, it's somewhat disappointing to see how the LP cover artwork has degraded somewhat with the reissue, with poorer image quality. Perhaps they no longer have the original negatives and are just working from scans. Another reason to stick with the originals.

BTW, a nitpick, but a notable thing is that there was a need to put '1969 Glyn Johns Mix" on the label for the Get Back LP. Who are they addressing this to? Not only was this unnecessary, but on top of this that would have been untrue to what the record would have looked like had it been released to the public.

Those weren't 'bad' per se, they just obviously don't sound as well as an original UK or even German. The 80s Capitol rainbow series was pressed by Allied or Specialty and they did good work. Wally Traugutt mastered some of those, they were among the best American pressings.

[@djhrecordhound4391]

@@casperguylkn At least in Canada, the rainbow pressings (starting 1983) seemed like Capitol smartened up. Most orange or purple label 70s pressings by Capitol I've found are WAY off-center, though a centered and clean purple label pressing (deeper/more dynamic recuts, starting 1978) can sound really nice.

[@deadmanjones9077]

My biggest problem with this set if the 1969 mix of the album. It’s okay for the most part, but the track “For You Blue” uses the 1970-recorded vocal track. That’s a big red flag if you ask me. It kinda makes me worried if more of these tracks were altered without us knowing.

[@plan7a]

@@malkismuseum The original probably cannot be found/used, so it has been done this way so as to avoid 'using a clean vinyl source', perhaps? Maybe the use of a later version like this was the only way around this? Just a thought.

[@Gigidag77]

Most of the tracks were taken from the 1970 mix, since the 1969 tape has more hiss. The 1969 tape was only used to fill in missing bits and pieces and the edits are rather obvious in places. Unfortunately they didn't catch the wrong mix on "For You Blue". The two 1970mix exclusive tracks ("I Me Mine" & "Across The Universe") however were taken from a common bootleg cassette tape dub for some bizarre reason. Maybe because the EP was a later addition (as a replacement for the removal of a rooftop CD) and they had allready gotten rid of their digital tape transfers at that point and didn't want to go back to re-recording the 1970 master tape. That's my best guess. "I me mine" on the new set especially suffers from bad distortion coming from whatever upsampling / remastering process they tried to make it sound better.

[@deadmanjones9077]

@@plan7a They literally used edits and versions of songs that could (and was) easily searchable from bootlegs, one of which (for the "I Me Mine" 1970 mix) was only ever found on *one* bootleg and purposefully had deteriorating noise put on it for no reason.

What a package! My only complaint is the original release had a red Apple label 6:48.

[@mgonzales56]

In1970, I was 13 years old. I had a small reel to reel tape recorder that my older brother gave me, and I would record music off the radio all the time. When I heard that KTSA radio was going to have a "Big T Exclusively" which was The Beatles new album "Get Back, I set up my recorder and recorded as much as I could of the new album. I still have that tape and listened to it about a month ago. So I can say, without a doubt, that the "Get Back" CD that is included in the box set is not the original "Get Back" album that they were going to release in 1969-70. It is close, the closest they have ever gotten, but not the Glyn John's original. For one thing, "Maggie Mae" was not on the original configuration of the album, for another, they cleaned the feedback that was heard in the original "Teddy Boy" mix. I know that there are four different compilations of the Glyn John "Get Back", and with this one it makes five, but it is not as Glyn John mastered it. I actually do have a copy of the original "Get Back" that I heard on the radio. After many years of looking for it, I found a bootleg copy of it on CD about 20 or so years ago, and I can compare it to the recording I made in 1969-70, and can verify it is the original. But I do love the sound of the one on the new release. Just thought you'd like to know. Thanks for the review.

[@plan7a]

LOL the Blu-ray (being audio only), has a 16:9 ratio! As if anyone would notice the difference. Interesting the Apple image on the Blu-ray (sleeve and disc) is the red apple; thus more 'authentic', when comparing the original sleeve design. Incidentally, are the photos better quality on the CD/Blu-ray packaging than the new LP sleeves? I just wonder, as this may be why the LP ones are not as clear/clean when compared with the original LP; perhaps they were simply blown up from the CD covers? This would explain the difference, perhaps? I think the inner of the book looks better via the CD box; the LP book looks a bit more 'spaced out' as you said.

So glad they never released the Glynn Johns mix, historically interesting but sub par by some margin.

Yes, If that album had been released it would have been seen as a huge let down. Many of the songs on this album were recorded earlier in the month of January 1969 and were still very rough. They had them worked out much better by the end of the month.

Let it be was the first Beatles album I bought and remains a favourite. Over the years, reading about how the band disowned the project until they had to do something I've realised it's basically a Phil Spector album with the Fabs relegated to session musicians on their own record. The Glyn John's mixes, their are two, are little more than ruff mixes in possible running order and somewhat mythologised. What I'd really like is a good mixdown of the rooftop concert, the 4 track recordings exist(ed) because Spector used some for the album. The only version I've heard is from the unedited film sound tapes.

Nice unboxing, by the way can someone tell me why some people want the Glynn Johns album separate, I don't get it. nice comparison between LP and CD's look forward to the actual review.

I may be buying the vinyl box set of Let It Be. Covid has impacted my income however. But I might as well get it and enjoy it.

Unfortunately this is one of a few Beatle albums I don't have in my collection! This seems a good start!

I waited until the UPS truck came with my set before watching so I could unbox with you. Notable difference: You carefully peel the plastic wrap from one edge maintaining the integrity of the wrap over the rest of the set. I tear it off with absolutely no regard for posterity or future value. And how long have I been watching your videos...?? 😳 I find it interesting that the box edge is on the opposite side to what I would expect. I mean, it works if you're an Arabic or Hebrew reader. 😉 Anyway, to the all-important listen-through. I look forward to comparing notes with your careful analysis, Andrew!

6:45 I am not a fan of the new Apple design at all, it's also on the Abbey Road remix LPs and the Singles Collection 45s. I think it just looks really fake. I don't know why they can't just pull the original design and use that (BTW Andrew, your like disappeared when I fixed one of my spellings)

[@mattputnam5652]

The new apple is terrible! The bottom right has been hacked off and the color values flattened.

I hate the reissue Apple labels. I think they must have lost the original artwork after the initial Apple Records reissues circa 1992 (Badfinger's Ass from the second batch of reissues looks like a tinted black and white photo) - they've never looked right since!

@@sproutstanding The ones on the White Album anniversary box actually look pretty good (like the original UK label)
