Let It Be (super deluxe)

~ Release by The Beatles (see all versions of this release, 55 available)

Annotation

Note: The European version uses a combination and several edits on many of the tracks with the Glyn Johns’ 1969 and 1970 mixes, possibly thinking that presenting a superior sound quality was a better choice, even though the mixes were not right ones. This was a mistake that was corrected on the Japan & digital releases.
