The contents to the Beatles' upcoming Let It Be box set have evidently been leaked, with the full tracklisting and graphics now online. According to the reliable website, The Daily Beatle, the "Super Deluxe" version features six discs — a remastered version of the album, outtakes, a Blu-ray mix of Let It Be, and engineer Glyn Johns' original 1969 mix of the scrapped original album titled Get Back.
The Daily Beatle posted: "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. 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."
The report went on to say, "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."
Richie Unterberger, author of the excellent book The Unreleased Beatles, told us that if it wasn't for Paul McCartney holding the band together at that point, they would have easily fallen apart: ["Paul's gotten a little bit of a bad rap for how he acted during those sessions. I think he was pushy and bossy at some points. You can see it in the final film, which they edited pretty heavily. On the other hand, someone had to do that and he was the guy to do it. Nobody else would have done it. If he wasn't there, nothing would have been done."] SOUNDCUE (:17 OC: . . . have been done)
