Disney+ have recently re-released a rarely-seen 1970 documentary film titled 'Let It Be', chronicling The Beatles' rehearsals and recordings in January 1969, for what would ultimately become their twelfth and final studio album. The original documentary has been somewhat of a holy grail for Beatles fans, shrouded in mystery due its unavailability for purchase or streaming. This is partly because the original master tapes mysteriously vanished from Apple Corps shortly after the film's completion. Now, the "lost film", shot on 16mm negative, has been meticulously restored and remastered into 4k....

They took that exchange as like many other exchanges they’d had over the years … but, of course, since they’d broken up a month before [the film’s release], everyone was looking for little bits of sharp metal on the sand to think why they’d broken up.” During the often tumultuous reco...

Original director Michael Lindsay-Hogg confirms that the shivering little hair on the microphone as John Lennon sings “Across the Universe” in the new Disney+ remaster of Let It Be was meant to be there. This potentially distracting moment arrives about 17 minutes into the Beatles film. “At the beginning, we talked about taking that out – because they can take it out,” Lindsay-Hogg tells Variety. “We talked about taking that out and then we thought, no, it actually was there – this little funny bug of hair, which is on the kind of felt of the mic or whatever the covering of the mic is. So, lea...

When the Beatles‘ Let It Be film premiered in May 1970, it was met with negative reviews and painted a bleak portrait of the world’s biggest rock band on the brink of destruction. But as a restored version of the documentary arrives on Disney+ this week, it’s poised for a reappraisal — including from Ringo Starr. “I was always moaning about the original film, because there was no real joy in it,” Starr told the Daily Beast. The drummer cited a heavily dissected scene between Paul McCartney and George Harrison, where they snipe at each other while trying to work out a song arrangement. “It was ...
