The Beatles - Let It Be | Special Edition Releases Updated

https://youtu.be/Cmqd6PYAvJ8

Here are some images and track lists of the upcoming “Let It Be audio” releases for 2021, due out October 15. Prematurely posted on the Spanish Amazon site, we now know the contents as well as what the box consists of. Later leaks have given us info about the 2 disc version and the vinyl boxed set. The image below lists the contents of the “Super DeLuxe” 5CD + 1Blu-ray edition. The blu-ray has no video content, but high resolution files of the new mix “Let It Be” tracks, in stereo and several surround sound options.


The “Let It Be” album has been newly mixed by producer Giles Martin and engineer Sam Okell in stereo, 5.1 surround DTS, and Dolby Atmos. All the new “Let It Be” releases feature the new stereo mix of the album as guided by the original “reproduced for disc” version by Phil Spector and sourced directly from the original session and rooftop performance eight-track tapes.


The Super Deluxe collections also feature 27 previously unreleased session recordings, a four-track “Let It Be” EP, and the never before released 14-track “Get Back” stereo LP mix compiled by engineer Glyn Johns in May 1969.


Additionally, the Super Deluxe editions feature a 100 page hard-back book with an introduction by Paul McCartney, extensive notes and track-by-track recording information and many previously unseen photos, personal notes, tape box images and more.

 

 

The book has the following chapters:

• Foreword by Paul McCartney
• Introduction by Giles Martin
• Glyn Johns remembers
• Everybody had a hard year/Everybody had a good time
The myth and reality of Let it be Sessions
• What do we want to know
• Track by track
• Rehearsals and Apple jams
• Get Back to Let It Be

The book is of course not identical to the new “Get Back”-book, which is available separately, nor is it identical to the old “Get Back” book from the 1970 “Let It Be” boxed set.

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.

Background and content

This was not the first time Let It Be was released as a box set. The original album came out in a limited edition box set in the UK on 8 May 1970, which went out of print by that December and was replaced in circulation with a standard issue LP. Aside from the LP, the original box set included a 164-page paperback book.[1]

Like the previous Beatles 50th anniversary box sets, Let It Be: Special Edition was originally going to be released the same month as the original album. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, its release was delayed until October 2021 while the release of the Get Back documentary series was delayed until November 2021. Additionally, the release dates of the super deluxe editions of John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and All Things Must Pass were delayed until April 2021 and August 2021 respectively.[2][3]

A trailer for Let It Be: Special Edition was released in August 2021, two months before its release. It was also revealed that a book containing essays, photos, session notes and a message from Paul McCartney on his thoughts on both the box set and the upcoming Get Back documentary will be included in the box set[4] Let It Be: Special Edition features a remix of the original Let It Be album by producer Giles Martin and engineer Sam Okell, along with session highlights, outtakes, an EP featuring four additional unreleased tracks and new mixes and a remaster of Glyn Johns' original 1969 Get Back mix.[5][6] Let It Be: Special Edition is available in both CD and Vinyl formats.[7][8][9][10]

The box set included the first official release of the 1969 Get Back mix, which was previously available in bootleg form.[11] 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.[12]

On 28 January 2022, the full audio recording of the rooftop concert was released to streaming services as The Beatles: Get Back — The Rooftop Performance.[13]

Reception

Let It Be: Special Edition received positive reviews.[14][15][16] In an online review, music critic David Quantick stated the box set "does wonders for the record" and that it gives the listener "a bird’s-eye view of the sessions".[17] Pitchfork gave it a 9.1 rating and said in their review that the box set shines a light on "the brilliant and tumultuous process" of the album, and called some of the outtakes "uncomfortable and fascinating".[18]

On Metacritic, Let It Be: Special Edition holds an aggregate score of 91 out of 100, based on seven reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[19]

No blu-ray with the surround etc mixes, we’re afraid – just like they were also missing on the vinyl editions of the recent George Harrison releases of “All Things Must Pass”. A shame that vinyl lovers will have to also get the SuperDeLuxe CD edition in order to enjoy the songs in surround sound.

From Rolling Stone:

The Unheard ‘Let It Be’: An Exclusive Guide to the Beatles’ New Expanded Classic

The new special edition box set will shed fresh light on the Beatles' misunderstood masterpiece. Here are the 10 most revelatory moments

The Beatles at Twickenham Film Studios on January 7th, 1969. The new Special Edition of 'Let It Be' casts fresh light on those often-misunderstood sessions Ethan A. Russell/© Apple Corps Ltd.

Of all the Beatles’ classic albums, Let It Be is the one with the most daunting reputation. We’re all used to hearing it as their break-up album. The one where the Fabs fall apart. The one they began as a back-to-basics rebirth, until it became their tombstone. The messy film soundtrack that arrived in May 1970, just as the band was breaking up. The one Phil Spector took over. Their darkest, most divisive music. But that’s never been the whole story. This is also the album with classics like “Let It Be,” “Across the Universe,” “Get Back,” and “Two of Us.” Let It Be always raises the question: How did John, Paul, George, and Ringo make such uplifting music in their hour of darkness?

That’s the fascinating mystery behind Let It Be — and it’s about to get more fascinating. Rolling Stone took a one-on-one exclusive tour of the new Special Edition of Let It Be, which drops on October 15th. It’s a crucial box set that finally places this wildly misunderstood music in the Beatles’ story.

“It’s an album of conflict,” says producer Giles Martin, son of the late George Martin. “Not, funnily enough, conflict within the band, despite what people think, but creative conflict. It’s the most creatively conflicted album the Beatles made, because they aren’t quite sure what they’re making.”

Let It Be follows the stunning sets for Sgt. Pepper, the White Album, and Abbey Road, opening up the vaults to shed new light on music you thought you already knew. There’s pain in the music, yet there are also undeniable moments of warmth, laughter, brotherhood. It’s rooted in friendship, whether it’s George helping Ringo write “Octopus’ Garden” or Paul and John writing “I’ve Got a Feeling.” There’s something so beautifully daft about the whole Get Back/Let It Be project, something that only could have occurred to the Beatles.

“I see Let It Be as a married couple whose relationship has become stale,” Martin says. “They say, what we need to do is go back to the old place and go on those dates we used to go on. But doing that, they realize that the place was just old, and they didn’t have anything to talk about anyway. ‘We need to get our sex life back, let’s go to that club again,’ but then realizing the music’s too loud. And what they need to do is move on to something like Abbey Road.”

Martin and engineer Sam Okell have remixed the album in stereo, 5.1 surround DTS, and Dolby Atmos. The Special Deluxe Edition comes with a four-disc treasure trove of outtakes, demos, and previously unheard gems, including Glyn Johns’ original version of the never-released Get Back. Three of the new tracks are available for the first time today: the new stereo mix of “Let It Be,” the first rooftop performance of “Don’t Let Me Down,” and the original Get Back version of “For You Blue.”

But the real surprise is the way the music is suffused with warmth and humor. When all four Beatles jam on “Oh Darling,” reveling in the doo-wop beauty of it, they make it sound like they’re telling the whole story of their friendship. When John is about to sing “Don’t Let Me Down” on the rooftop, he touchingly asks Ringo for moral support on the drum intro: “Do a nice big kssssh for me, you know. To give me the courage to come screaming in.”

Let It Be has always been haunted by the movie that went with it, even though hardly anyone has actually seen it. Most fans only know the Anthology scene of George and Paul bickering over a guitar part, with George sneering, “Whatever it is that will please you, I’ll do it.” It was scandalous because in 1970, the world was shocked, shocked to find out that musicians argue. But viewed today, this fight is absurdly tame by rock-star standards. For a band like Aerosmith, this would be the friendliest conversation they had all day. Martin laughs at that notion. “I was working with Aerosmith producing their Vegas show, God bless them,” he says. “Even arguing about their flights to Boston was worse than that.”

The new Let It Be accompanies a very different movie: Get Back, the documentary series directed by Peter Jackson. It’s six hours over three nights on Disney+, starting on November 25th. Both projects are part of a jubilant wave of recent Beatles activity: Paul’s hit albums McCartney III and III Imagined, Ringo’s Change the World EP, the astounding box set of George’s All Things Must Pass. Not to mention Paul’s documentary with Rick Rubin, McCartney 3,2,1.

Peter Jackson wasn’t sure about the Get Back idea at first. “As a longtime Beatle fan, I really wasn’t looking forward to it,” he told Rolling Stone last year. “I thought, if what we’ve seen is the stuff they allowed people to see, what are the other 55 hours going to be? When I went to Apple, my feet were heavy. I thought, ‘I should be excited, but I just dread what I’m about to see.’” But as he saw the footage, as he said, “Everything I thought I knew changed.”

The same applies to the album. The mythology is definitely out of whack with the music. As Martin says, “Get Back, the original concept, was the Beatles saying, okay, we’re going to do a live album. We’re going to play a gig, which we haven’t planned yet. We’ve got to have songs, which we actually haven’t written yet, and we’re going to do it in three weeks’ time, and we’re going to film it. That was that concept. And even for the Beatles, that’s brave.”

On the Super Deluxe edition, you can hear the band laugh about how much they hate the cameras, or how much they hate getting up in the morning. (George cracks, “We’re on the day shift now.”) You can hear Ringo walk in and say, “Morning, everybody — another bright day. Morning, camera.” They complain about the food, with George requesting cheese sauce for his cauliflower. They work on songs that ended up on Abbey Road, like “Polythene Pam” and “She Came In Through The Bathroom Window.” Paul helps John write “Gimme Some Truth.” There’s a lead-vocal showcase for guest keyboardist Billy Preston, doing the 1920s standard “Without a Song.”

But you can also hear the anger that spilled over when George walked out and quit the band for a week. “You can see why he’s pissed off,” Martin says. “He’s mates with Eric Clapton, he’s hanging around with the Band and Ravi Shankar, he’s married to a supermodel. There’s a much happier world outside of the Beatles for him. But here he is stuck in Twickenham, where his songs aren’t being listened to, really.”

One of the most beautiful moments comes when George coaxes the band to play “All Things Must Pass.” Yet he’s still dismissed as a pesky kid brother. “You see George and Ringo sitting together a lot,” Martin says. “George still wasn’t being taken seriously. He wrote songs, but he wasn’t the main meal provider. His songs were dessert, not the main course. John refers to George as ‘Harrisongs’ — ‘Where is Harrisongs?’ George has his own publishing company. They’re Lennon-McCartney and he’s not. He’s Harrisongs… That’s the dynamic on Let It Be. He’s definitely still an outlier.”

Phil Spector’s production on this album has always been infamous. Martin says, “My father wanted the production credit to be ‘Produced by George Martin, Overproduced by Phil Spector.’” Most notoriously, Mr. Wall of Sound overdubbed cheesy strings and harp and a choir on to “The Long and Winding Road.” Paul tried to right these wrongs when he oversaw the de-Spectorized Let It Be…Naked in 2003. “I said to Paul at Abbey Road, ‘I know you were never happy with the overdubs. But it doesn’t make sense not to mix the album as people know it. We can’t really change history,’” Martin says. “He said, ‘Yeah — but can you take the harp down on ‘The Long and Winding Road?’ So yeah, there’s a little nudge, we did take the harp down a little bit, but there’s only so much you can do.”

Glyn Johns assembled the original Get Back LP, unveiled here for the first time. He gave the Beatles what they asked for: a raw fly-on-the-wall document of those sessions. But to their horror, it sounded dull and shabby. That’s one of the weird achievements of this edition — some fans might be shocked to find themselves noticing all the things Phil Spector actually got right. But still, the decision to leave “Don’t Let Me Down” off a 35-minute album, instead of “I Me Mine” or “Dig It,” remains a “Silver Springs”-level crime against history.

The late Brian Epstein, who died less than two years before sessions began at Twickenham, is an unseen presence in the music, as he is in the film, where Paul says, “Daddy’s gone,” adding, “We’ve been very negative since Mr. Epstein passed away.” It’s part of the album’s downbeat tone. “There was a lot of loss going on,” Martin says. “I mean, they lost Brian and they lost each other.”

There’s pathos in the way the Beatles strive to recapture their early days. “Let It Be is the only time they Beatles ever tried to go back to where they were before — that’s why they got frustrated,” Martin says. “In the old days of Rubber Soul and Revolver, John and Paul didn’t go home. They were locked up together all the time, writing songs. In Let It Be, you see them go home, then they come back in the morning and they haven’t got any songs. They were watching television. The whole idea of ‘Let’s write a concert and then perform it’ is a really flawed idea to begin with.” They rebounded later that year with George Martin on Abbey Road. “What makes Abbey Road successful is it’s not going back to anything,” Giles Martin says.

The Super Deluxe Let It Be comes with a hardcover book featuring an intro from Paul McCartney, as well as words from Giles Martin, Glyn Johns, and Beatle historians Kevin Howlett and John Harris, plus photos from Ethan Russell and Linda McCartney. There’s also a separate (but essential) book called The Beatles: Get Back, which comes out October 12th from Apple/Callaway. The book has Russell and McCartney photos, text from Peter Jackson and Hanif Kureishi, but best of all, verbatim transcripts from the sessions, which read on the page almost like Samuel Beckett dialogue.

Like the Get Back film, Let It Be is full of disarming warmth. Everyone trades “Happy New Year” wishes in the first week of January 1969, as George Harrison asks after Mr. Martin’s wife Judy. “It’s funny for me,” Giles Martin says. “I was born on October 9th, 1969. So one of these days, I was conceived. I realized, “Oh my God — what day was it? Is that why my dad’s got a smile on his face?”

Listening to Martin and Okell’s Atmos mix is a revelation in itself: “Two of Us” becomes the sound of Paul singing in one ear, John in the other, and Ringo thumping your chest, proving as always he’s the heartbeat driving the music.

Paul McCartney, for one, totally gets why people still crave more Beatles details. “That’s what’s nice about this upcoming Get Back film by Peter Jackson,” Paul told Rolling Stone last month. “He’s very carefully left in a lot of that. And so you see the thing in its entirety. You see the little quiet moments. It did mean that he ended up with an 80-hour edit, because he’s just very respectfully kept all these little moments. But I’m sure there’ll be some fans who will want the 80-hour.” The truth is, he enjoys it as much as any other Beatles fan: “I mean, it’s great to hear who we were.”

All these years later, he’s not alone in that. Let it be.

Here are 10 of the most revelatory moments from the new Special Edition of Let It Be.

1. “All Things Must Pass”

“The emotion of it is very, you know, Band-y,” George Harrison explains, referring to his recent time in Woodstock hanging with the Band and Bob Dylan. He’s humble with his mates, saying, “If there’s people joining in, I’d appreciate it.” This version is astoundingly beautiful, with everyone singing together over Ringo’s dramatic drum fills, as John adds lines about macrobiotic pills. But John’s derision got so insulting, George quit. The song got saved for his 1971 solo epic. As Giles Martin says, “‘All Things Must Pass’ — it’s just bizarre that it’s not on either Abbey Road or Let It Be.”

2. “Two of Us” (Take 4)

A country-style version, with John and Paul adding bluesy bent notes for the “we’re going hoooome” hook. John milks the Dylan-style inflections of lines like “in the sun.” You can hear why they realized the song was even more powerful with a drier, more stoic vocal touch, yet it’s a beauty. Although “Two of Us” was a love song to Linda, Paul wrote on his lyric sheet, “A Quarrymen Original.”

3. “Oh Darling”

This jam on “Oh Darling” is a knockout — the box’s emotional highlight. John and Paul sing it together, doing call and response. (Paul: “Believe me when I tell you!” John: “Oh, I do!”) John starts freestyling: “Just heard that Yoko’s divorce has just gone through! Free at last!” A brief snippet was on Anthology 3, but that version barely hinted at this one. It’s a running theme with John and Paul — they kept going back to these old-school rock & roll ballads to have the conversations they couldn’t have any other way.

4. “Gimme Some Truth”

John made it a solo classic on Imagine, but at this stage, it’s a song he and Paul are working on together. (“Should we do ‘Hypocrites’ and write that bit?’) But they quit too soon, spooked by the cameras. “That’s why they didn’t have the songwriting discipline they used to have,” Giles Martin says. “They start it, but there’s a film crew there and it’s an uncomfortable situation for them to be writing a song. Now, had that been 1965, they’d have been locked in a hotel room, and they’d have finished the song. That’s the difference.”

5. “Octopus’ Garden”

Ringo asks the others, “Have you heard the octopus one?” He plays a two-finger piano part (George quips, “Oh, he’s learned A minor”), sings the first few lines, then says, “That’s all I’ve got.” Everyone laughs merrily. If the moment ended here, it would still be a lovely tribute to the Beatles’ bond. But George grabs his guitar and helps him turn it into a classic, just out of generosity and friendship. So who will play drums? John says, “I think Paul will want to do drums, won’t he? With his strong left arm. I’m not getting on that kit without a ciggie in me hand!”

6. “Something” (Rehearsal)

George comes to the others with an idea he’s been working on for six months, beginning, “Something in the way she moves.” But he’s stuck on the second line. John suggests, “Just say whatever comes into your mind. ‘Attracts me like a cauliflower.’” He gives George a pep talk on songcraft. “You just go on and on and on and then you go back over it. Or don’t.”

7. “Don’t Let Me Down/Dig A Pony/I’ve Got a Feeling” (Glyn Johns Mix)

The highlight of the long-lost Glyn Johns Get Back: the 11-minute suite of “Don’t Let Me Down,” “Dig a Pony,” and “I’ve Got a Feeling,” stitched together as one long song.

8. “Maggie Mae/Fancy Me Chances With You”

One of the unlikeliest highlights: a high-spirited romp through the Celtic-style Liverpool folk tune about a Lime Street cut-purse, “Maggie May.” (The Let It Be cover spelled it as “Maggie Mae.”) Paul yells, “Take it, Maggie!” He and John segue into an early skiffle ditty they wrote in their teens, “Fancy Me Chances With You.” It’s only a minute, but you can hear why it hit them like a breath of fresh air.

9. “Let It Be”/“Please Please Me”

Paul gives the stately piano-hymn treatment to “Please Please Me,” one of the Fabs’ earliest hits. But it isn’t an ironic joke — he shows how the two songs come from the same sense of emotional urgency, even six years apart. John cracks, “Come on, I only get two notes in this song.”

10. “For You Blue” (Take 4)

George showed up for the sessions with complex, introspective songs like “Isn’t It A Pity” and “Hear Me Lord” — but they didn’t fit the back-to-basics roughness. “For You Blue” became a highlight thanks to George’s spontaneous blues swing on acoustic guitar, while John follows on lap-steel slide guitar, Paul on piano, Ringo on drums. The whole band is in sync. “That sounded lovely!” George raves at the end. “Does this guitar sound in tune, Glyn?”

The Beatles "1"-- Giles Martin Remixes the Singles

Michael Fremer  |  Jan 26, 2016
Music re-mixes may not be as complicated or as critical as brain surgery but when it comes to The Beatles, you could make the case.

If you're of a certain age, these songs are hard-wired into your brain, so that any changes jar. The reviews were not positive when, for the first CD issue, George Martin remixed Help and Rubber Soul to correct some glaring panning mistakes and to "modernize" the stereo imagery.

Martin also added reverb not found on the originals. Few fans were happy with them and they were even less happy when those same CD resolution mixes were used again for the box set that was otherwise sourced from 192/24 bit flat transfers and then "dumbed down".

Giles Martin was tasked with producing the music for The Beatles Cirque du Soleil show that's still running in Las Vegas at The Mirage Hotel and if you've not seen it and you are a Beatles fan, you must—and more than once! For that project he was mixing, mashing and using his imagination to paint Beatles onto a blank palette. He succeeded.

Here, the assignment was to re-mix the 1 album for release on Blu-ray and DVD to accompany the newly compiled and restored videos in which the group had participated. The assignment included a surround sound mix.

Fortunately, Mr. Martin was not interested in panning instruments around the room. Instead he set up big speakers in an Abbey Road studio and using the original microphones, recorded the songs being played back through the speakers, but with the microphones aimed at the studio walls not at the speakers.

Let's be honest: the vinyl version is of secondary concern in all of this. The point was a re-mix to go with the videos. Watching and listening on a home theater was/is an eye and ear opening experience. The mixes don't try to re-imagine the songs "Love"-like.

Instead, Mr. Martin re-mixed the hard left/right of the early 'stereo' songs to near-mono, which makes complete sense. We also know that up through Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band the group and the producer paid full attention to the mono mixes and left the stereo mixes to others. Martin quipped to a BBC reporter last year: "And you have what I call the socks and sandals brigade saying: 'The only way to listen to Sgt Pepper's is in mono.' To be honest, they're probably right, but no-one does that any more."

Well of course we do, (most of us not wearing socks and sandals) but we also understand his point. So he produced stereo remixes that better spatially integrate the movable elements and he re-equalized the results, giving the bottom end far more weight and solidity than was found on the originals. It also sounds as if he's tamped down some high end sparkle to produce a richer midrange.

One aspect of the mono mixes that those of us who prefer them like, is the punchy solidity that gets diluted and softened in stereo.

What Martin has done here is sort of split the difference between the mono and original stereo, maintaining separation but also incorporating the mono's "crunch" and solidity. This works better on some tunes than on others. For instance, "Something" from Abbey Road sounds too dark and thick for my tastes, but maybe not yours. However, McCartney's bass line definitely flaps your pants legs as never before.

Martin has achieved the overall goal of not messing too much with your head in the macro-sense, but he definitely makes micro-moves that produce subtle "brain-rewiring" without disturbing or jarring your long held Beatles sensibilities.

"Yesterday" has a pleasing clarity and the added bass gives the strings a rich, woody sheen, especially the celli but as with every song here, some transparency is lost, the bass EQ is somewhat heavily applied especially if you have a full-range system (though whatever your system you'll love the kick drum on "Yellow Submarine") and Mr. Martin has definitely applied dynamic compression. Though it's generally modest, it's too much for me.

Compare "Ticket to Ride" here with an original U.K. original pressing. Even though on the original it's the last of seven songs on the side, the original kills the new version in terms of spaciousness, stage width and depth, dynamics and of course transparency. The digits still destroy the 'breath of life'.

Two final points: I'd rather hear this version of 1 than the thin, bright, unpleasant original two LP set, and while for the most part I still prefer the original mixes, misguided panning and all, these mixes alway surprise in the best sense of the word as the younger Mr. Martin consistently manages to pull subtle musical surprises out of his mixing bag of tricks, leaving you to wonder if he did it using the fader or the EQ knob or both.

In the end, you come away admiring Martin's steady but understated hand, but more than that, you'll find new appreciation for every song, even if, like me, you are somewhat disappointed by the dynamic compression and perhaps overdone bass.

Miles Showell cut 1/2 speed and on side 4 pays tribute to the master of the 1/2 speed cut, Mr. Stan Ricker. "RIP Stan Ricker and Thank You" he scribed into the inner groove area. The funny thing is, as much as I loved Stan and many of his cuts, he was a bass player and sometimes overdid the bass. Though here it's more likely the EQ was Mr. Martin's choice.

The packaging is outstanding and includes nicely reproduced 45rpm single sleeves from around the world, many of which you may never have before seen. The credits are also unusually complete with recording release dates as well as engineering credits for each song.

Looking back at: Beatles 1 - 27 Greatest Hits Remastered & Scans

The Beatles’ 1 is the world’s best selling album of the last decade, compiling all of the fab-four’s number one singles on to one album. And, as all of The Beatles’ albums have finally been released digitally on iTunes, 1 made its debut last week and quickly went to number one on many global iTunes charts, including the U.S., Mexico, Canada, and Japan. In addition, the remastered 1 album will also be released on CD with updated packaging on September 13th, 2011.



The Beatles' "1" album from 2000 has been released in remastered form on iTunes. The album is also available as a CD with the remastered audio recordings in a new digipak case. At the official Beatles store you can order your CD in a special edition bundle, with an exclusive custom design T-shirt.
They have also produced a limited edition, numbered lithograph print featuring the covers of the Beatles singles. There are only 250 of these high quality prints and are exclusive to order from each of the US, European and Japanese official Beatles stores. Oh, how I long back to the old days, when the vinyl edition of "1" came with a free poster for everyone, "featuring the covers of the Beatles singles".

1 is a compilation album by the English rock band the Beatles, originally released on 13 November 2000. The album features virtually every number-one single the band achieved in the United Kingdom and United States from 1962 to 1970. Issued on the 30th anniversary of the band's break-up, it was their first compilation available on only one CD. 1 was a commercial success and topped charts worldwide. It has sold over 31 million copies.[1]

In addition, 1 is the fourth best-selling album in the US since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking US album sales in January 1991[2] and the best-selling album of the 2000s decade in the US,[3] as well as the best-selling album of the decade worldwide. 1 was remastered and reissued in September 2011,[4] and was remixed and reissued again in several different deluxe editions in November 2015, the most comprehensive of which is a three-disc set entitled 1+, which includes video discs of the band's promotional films.

As of June 2015, 1 was the sixth best-selling album of the 21st century in the UK, having sold over 3.1 million copies.[5]

Background

1 was compiled by producer George Martin and former band members Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.[6] The album contains the 27 Beatles songs that went to number one in the United Kingdom on the Record Retailer Top 50 chart or in the United States on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Despite Harrison's "For You Blue" charting at number 1 on Billboard, along with the A-side "The Long and Winding Road",[7] Capitol Records treated "For You Blue" as strictly a B-side and did not promote it as an A-side. "Day Tripper" was included on 1 since it charted at number 1 in the UK as a double A-side with "We Can Work It Out", while in the US, only "We Can Work It Out" was number 1. Two singles written by John Lennon and released in both the UK and US were omitted as they did not top either the Record Retailer chart or the Billboard Hot 100: "Please Please Me" and "Strawberry Fields Forever". The former was the Beatles' first UK number one single in all British charts except Record Retailer, reaching the top spot in the music magazines New Musical Express, Melody Maker and Disc. "Strawberry Fields Forever" was part of a double A-side single with "Penny Lane", which reached the top spot in Melody Maker and peaked at number 2 in the other UK charts, behind Engelbert Humperdinck's "Release Me".

The album is a combination of both the US and UK versions of the 1982 compilation 20 Greatest Hits, with the addition of "Something" (which was left off 20 Greatest Hits because of time constraints).[citation needed] On 1, "Hey Jude" was included in its original full-length version (slightly over seven minutes), whereas the American version of 20 Greatest Hits contained a shortened version.
Remastering

Before 1, all 27 songs were mainly available on two remastered CD releases: firstly on the respective Beatles studio albums released in 1987 (as well as Past Masters, Volume One and Past Masters, Volume Two, released in 1988). The second remastering was made available on the CD versions for 1962–1966 and 1967–1970, released in 1993.

The songs on 1 were remastered specifically for the release in 2000. According to the liner notes of the album, the original analogue masters were "digitally remastered at 24 bits resolution, processed using Sonic Solutions NoNoise technology and mastered to 16-bit using Prism SNS Noise Shaping". The remastering was overseen by Peter Mew of Abbey Road Studios and took place there.[8] In 2011, 1 was remastered and reissued on CD. In 2015 it was remastered again and remixed by Giles Martin; when Martin began to assist with fixing up the audio tracks for the 1+ video clips, he realised that his goal of making them "more immersive" should also apply to 1.[9] For the remixing project, Martin commented: "The remasters went back to these final mix tapes and remastered them. They cleaned them up and then they EQ-ed them and released them. What we're doing is remixing. We're going not to the final mix, we're creating our own mixes."[9] About his remixing approach, Martin said: "My approach was to be respectful of everything, I had sessions and sessions where I flipped between previously remastered stereos, the mono remasters, and the remixes we've done. I flip between everything and make sure I prefer what we've done."[9]

The package of 1 was intended to be simplistic and ambitious at the same time. Its cover was designed by Rick Ward,[8] and consists of a pop art-style yellow number one on a red background. The emphasis on the 1 digit was used on many of the compilations of number-one hits by different artists that followed this album; for example, ELV1S by Elvis Presley and Number Ones by the Bee Gees. The album's back cover features the famous photos of the Beatles taken by Richard Avedon and copyrighted on 17 August 1967.[8] The design exclusively uses variations of the Helvetica typeface.

1 was released worldwide in CD and cassette.[10] The vinyl format was released only in the United Kingdom. The CD includes a 32-page booklet with a coloured page with international picture covers (a total of 163 covers are displayed on the whole booklet) and details (recording date, location, release date, chart stats) for each of the singles. It also includes on its first two pages a collage with 27 1s in different colours (all of them following the same art as the cover) with the sentence "27 No. 1 singles = 1" (which was used as a catch phrase for the promo ads for the album), and a foreword by George Martin.

The LP and cassette keep the main art of the CD version, but in a different form.[10] The double vinyl record version was not released in the US, but the imported British edition was available. The vinyl version features a large full-colour fold-out poster showing 126 picture sleeves (37 fewer than on the CD), and reproductions of the four Richard Avedon photos. The Avedon portraits also appear on the inside of the gate-fold cover. The records have custom labels featuring the same graphics as the front cover and are packaged in custom inner sleeves. The deluxe packaging of the vinyl album, with its four portraits and poster, is reminiscent to that of their titular 1968 album. The cassette included a 20-page insert, including the collage, the George Martin commentary and paged Avedon's portraits on its inlay and the whole description for the tracks as a total of 36 covers on its inlay reverse.

AllMusic 5/5 stars[13]

1 received universal acclaim. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album five stars out of five. He stated that there is "no question that this is all great music", although to him "there's really no reason for anyone who owns all the records to get this too".[13]
Legacy

1 went on to inspire the release of a wave of compilation albums, in particular three other "number ones" albums: Elvis Presley's ELV1S (2002),[17] Michael Jackson's Number Ones (2003)[18] and the Bee Gees' Number Ones (2004). Other compilations inspired by 1 issued included Nirvana's Nirvana (2002),[19][20] the Rolling Stones' Forty Licks (2002),[21] Pink Floyd's Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd (2001), The Who's The Ultimate Collection (2002)[22] and Dean Martin's Dino: The Essential Dean Martin (2004).[23]
Sales and chart performance

The reception of 1 surpassed all critical and commercial expectations.[citation needed] It reached number 1 in over 35 countries, achieving the record for the album debuting at the top of the most national charts ever.[citation needed] It became the highest-selling of 2000 and, some time later, of the entire decade.[citation needed] This achievement made the Beatles the first and only artist to have the best-selling albums of two different decades: they also released the best-selling album of the 1960s, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.[citation needed] No tracks from Sgt. Pepper appear on this album. With this album, the Beatles also achieved having an album hit the number 1 position in the US in four non-consecutive decades (1960s, 1970s, 1990s and 2000s).

In the United Kingdom, 1 became the Beatles' 15th number 1 album with sales of 319,126 copies (achieving record sales for only one week in 2000). On 18 December 2000, Ananova.com reported that the album has "become 2000's biggest-selling album—in only five weeks." 1 was the first album to stay at the top spot for nine weeks in almost ten years (the last being the Eurythmics's Greatest Hits), the best-selling album of 2000, and the fourth best-selling album of the 2000s so far in the UK.
