"Get Back" is the original title for The Beatles' 11th studio album, before the project was subsequently shelved and brought back a year later as "Let It Be". Assemblies for "Get Back" were put together primarily by engineer Glyn Johns comprised of January 1969 recording sessions (save for Across The Universe, which dates back to 1968). All assemblies of the album by Johns were rejected and the project was shelved and focus shifted on the bands next project, "Abbey Road", until early 1970 when the "Get Back" tapes were given to producer Phil Spector to polish and release as the re-named album "Let It Be", a release coinciding with a sessions movie of the same name.
The Glyn Johns assemblies and mixes of "Get Back" have subsequently been bootlegged and are some of the most popular and sought after of The Beatles' bootlegs, due to their stripped back and raw sound when compared to the polish of the Phil Spector & even "Let It Be… Naked" mixes of the album.
Let It Be: Special Edition is an expanded reissue of the original 1970 album by the English rock band the Beatles. It was released by Apple Records on 15 October 2021 and includes a new stereo remix of the album, as well as a Dolby Atmos mix, by Giles Martin, the son of Beatles producer George Martin. The box set included the first official release of the 1969 Get Back mix, which was previously available in bootleg form. However, some sources state that due to a mixup, the true 1969 mix is available only on the Japan Super High Material (SHM) CD release, and that the mix on all other releases combines elements from both the 1969 mix and the 1970 mix of the Get Back album.
