Comments and Reviews


W.B.lbl 14th Oct 2024		That would've been on the second run of pressings as on {Image #451696}.



Vadimkiev 12th Oct 2024		Can anyone tell me: in what year (when) in the credits of the composition 'Maggie Mae' were added names after the PD?



W.B.lbl 13th Oct 2022		The other thing: For the paper labels, Scranton used 70 lb. C2S (Gloss) paper . . . the three other plants (L.A., Jacksonville, Winchester) seemed to use the uncoated side of 70 lb. Kromekote C1S paper, whose finish looked rougher than the usual Offset uncoated stock, indeed seemed to resemble Vellum paper. Though L.A. might have used 70 or 80 lb. Offset. And that's before factoring in the pressing rings, which during this time period began to differ sharply amongst each other.



drwinstonboogie1978 9th Sep 2021		Picture scan added of very poor job drawing the Δ IAM from Scranton factory on my Let it be counterfeit copy. My counterfeit album has the pictures and the red apple on labels looks washed out. Square photos in front + the album title are not level. Same with the back sleeve. Left side of the gatefold is 1cm longer than the right side when you view from the back sleeve



frankheussner 27th May 2021		Do they all say "Phil + Ronnie" in the dead wax?



W.B.lbl 22nd Jan 2021		Yeah, this was distributed through the Liberty/UA pipeline, in spite of Capitol doing all the legit pressings.



musictom SUBS 19th Jan 2021		I'm digging deep in the memory recesses for this: If I remember correctly, this album was originally distributed by United Artists. I have a recollection of a UA promo man telling me that sales were disappointing. Assuming that was true, it might have been on account of all the counterfeits.



kimbozw 10th May 2020		is this the "ugly duckling of Beatles albums", as the article linked below claims? : https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/let-50-why-beatles-last-154633731.html Released 50 years ago in 8 days from now.



Beggars Road 15th Sep 2019		For clarification purposes, the "Let It Be" fake is a counterfeit as opposed to a bootleg...



BEATLEJOHN 20th Oct 2018		It's still a bootleg!...as weird as it is finding it in Germany!...probably because it was cheap...(they were all over the place, commonly found in major chain stores!)....John



janiejjones 12th Sep 2018		BJ, it was an import, as I bought it in Germany, around 75/76.....



BEATLEJOHN 12th Sep 2018		You can have all the theories you want....the simple fact is the album went out of print by 1975...and was bootlegged...the album went back in print on Capitol in 1979....the boots satisfied a need during the interim.....unless you bought an imported copy....John



janiejjones 31st Aug 2018		ref. fakes: These were done not for "rarity" reasons, as modern ones would be. More like "phony viagra" or designer's clothes nowadays, a volume market.



TheDroid 29th Aug 2018		@78rpm - Unscrupulous people would counterfeit the LP and then distribute it to other unscrupulous retailers, usually at a discounted price. This would circumvent the manufacturer and the artist from receiving their just income. Occasionally they would even infiltrate into the normal distribution channels somehow and unknowing retailers would wind up stocking and selling them. Let It Be was a very popular record when first released and made a good target for those types.



78rpm-maniac 28th Aug 2018		Hello, i´m of the opinion that the Let it be record USA-Variant, is a very common record, not really rare. Why does it be counterfeited. It makes no sense to me.?



kab2112 SUBS 28th Apr 2015		Gold Disc scan added



janiejjones 22nd Nov 2013		Added scans of fake labels. One can see the poorer quality of both sides, especially on side 2, where the coating is totally irregular. I bought this from a bargain record shop in Germany about 75/76, where huge piles of them were in stock (cut out drill hole top right, btw). The runouts are exactly as describe in TPs source, the cover actually does not look so much worse by now than the on seen here, but the inside is badly glued, and the photos look less sharp, probably from sloppy reproduction.



TopPopper 13th Oct 2013		I understand that this record has been bootlegged/counterfeited. I have just seen a great blog post which details how to spot counterfeits. I think it's OK to add a link? so here it is, for future reference ... http://beatlesblogger.com/2013/10/13/at-last-a-genuine-us-let-it-be-lp/



W.B.lbl 3rd Sep 2013		Indeed they were. All plants used Los Angeles label typesetting.



BEATLEJOHN 3rd Sep 2013		W.B....my 1st press Winchester label is identical,...me-thinks the label fonts were the same for all 4 plants....John



W.B.lbl 2nd Sep 2013		Added first-pressing of Side 1 (pressed in Scranton) with different songwriting credits for Tracks A5 and A7.
