On this day in 1970: The Beatles released Let It Be

On May 8, 1970, The Beatles released their iconic album Let It Be. To mark the occasion, we're revisiting Pat Carty's deep-dive into the album, following the release of the 2021 Super Deluxe Edition...Is there such a thing as a runt in The Beatles’ litter? A ridiculous notion really when we’re talking about perhaps the most perfect discography in music but I do remember a journalist – a noble breed against whom I won’t countenance an ill word – saying something along the lines of how Let It Be was often the first Beatles record people bought – because of the cover – and it’s the worst one. Spitting out this class of rot – that it’s the “worst one” – is a bit like grumbling about a Himalayan peak that isn’t quite as tall as the others; it’s still pretty impressive, it’s still The Beatles.
