February 25, 2009: This review is specific to the vinyl LP version of "Let It Be" released by EMI/Toshiba/Japan. I have an original 1970 American pressing as well as a DMM EMI/UK version of this LP. I reviewed the Japanese version from beginning to end without interruption. My jaw dropped. It's like going back in time and hearing it for the first time. Everything is clear and crisp. There's nothing I can write that hasn't been written about the songs themselves, but I can attest to the superior quality of the Japanese pressing. At the present time "Let It Be" is the only Beatles' title that B&N carries from EMI/Toshiba. I hope (and I write to the company about it) that they will soon carry ALL of the Japanese versions. They did start to carry the Toshiba versions of the CDs, which are also of superior quality. However, the vinyl versions sound best. If you can afford it, buy a CD and LP copy of each Beatles' title. Also, put some pressure on B&N to carry the other Beatles' titles on LP.

This review was written about the Vinyl LP edition.

I Also Recommend: The Beatles [Remastered], Rubber Soul [UK], Abbey Road, 1967-1970.
