So this is definately wrong...but it looks superb!
"Release date: October 2004" ... "The original Let It Be 80-minute feature film from 1970. Plus, Rough cuts from the sessions, alternate roof top performances and a Beatles Yoko session after George had left the building. Also, Let It Be related promos: Get Back Don't Let Me Down The Ballad Of John And Yoko Two Of Us Let It Be. "
I don't fully understand why this film has been kept back for so long. It had a full cinema release and has been broadcast worldwide on television at some stage over the years. Most people know what the film contains and overall, it doesn't harm the 'Beatle Image' in any way. If anything, it's just a period piece by now. It's certainly 'a must have' for all fans and Apple should be thankfull that the 1969 film will generate so much revenue. Talking about television, it's interesting to note that, at least in the UK, no company has broadcasted the film for a long time!
Have got 'Let it be' on video (taped it years and years ago, when it was on the telly - luckily whithout any commercial breaks, cause those days there wasn't much of them - God, I'm old.) Also got a DVD - but, of course, a fake.
If YoGo has her fingers in on not releasing 'Let it be' on DVD....I suppose it's her taking revenge on all the fans of John who cursed at her, insulted and hated her Well, could be.
the latest issue of BEATLEFAN magazine contains an interview with NEIL ASPINALL, who talks about possible forthcoming new BEATLES releases. Amongst the things mentioned are: [...] SHEA & LET IT BE: The long awaited release of the concert at SHEA STADIUM and LET IT BE on DVD may happen in 2008, but there are no immediate plans to release them at the moment.
I suppose we'll just have to wait and see now....?
But the film “Let It Be” remains in DVD purgatory, Aspinall says. The reason? “The film was so controversial when it first came out. When we got halfway through restoring it, we looked at the outtakes and realized: This stuff is still controversial. It raised a lot of old issues.”
