''Let It Be'' is the thirteenth and final studio album by Music/TheBeatles, released in 1970, almost a month after the group's break up. However, it was mostly recorded before ''Music/AbbeyRoad'', which got a release in 1969 and was the actual final album released during the band's lifetime. It is also the only Beatles album not produced by George Martin, instead being produced by Music/PhilSpector, who incorporated his trademark "Wall of Sound" production techniques by adding prominent orchestral embellishments throughout the album, as well as their only album to be partially recorded at Twickenham Film Studios rather than EMI (now Abbey Road) Studios. Most of the album, however, was recorded at the band's own Apple Studio, including three tracks ("Dig a Pony", "I've Got a Feeling", "One After 909") from a famous rooftop concert which marked the band's final live performance before an audience.[[note]]The band also performed "Get Back" and "Don't Let Me Down" at the rooftop concert; the ''Let It Be...

** Even better? Paul wanted to do the sessions in a soundstage to allow them to work for a live show that would be filmed and broadcast on TV as a special treat for fans, and wanted the back-to-basics approach because the production style they'd become acclaimed for meant the band spent most of their time holed up in a studio. But when tensions were rising to the point where George quit and they needed to just ''finish the album'' what did they do the fix it? Abandon the soundstage and go ''back'' to the studio (Though they still performed ''as live'' to preserve the original intent), ditch the TV show that was supposed to be one last Beatles hurrah completely, and they didn't even end up doing a proper live show and instead resorted to the now famous Rooftop Concert.

Music/PaulMcCartney hated what Spector did to their final album, having intended for it to be a "back to basics" BluesRock approach for the Beatles rather than the ChamberPop record Spector turned it into. Music/JohnLennon for his part felt completely different, crediting Spector for crafting something listenable out of what Lennon called "badly recorded" tracks. To this day it ranks as the most divisive Beatles album among fans, who argue as to whether it's an underrated masterpiece or an overblown mess emblematic of just how far the band had fallen on a personal level. In 2003, a total new version of the album was released, named ''Let It Be... Naked'', where Paul's original vision could finally be heard. All the material on this album was devoid of Spector's production and showcased a simple rock sound in-line with the pre-''Music/RubberSoul'' era, with its originally intended tracklisting in place. As a bonus CD, a [[LeaveTheCameraRunning Leave the Microphone Running]] recording from the Beatles in their studio was released too, which is more chatting and clowning about than actual recording.
