Last week Let It Be came out again on an Apple LP, along with eleven other Beatles renditions. Where did those brass choirs come from? And those secular maracas? They came courtesy of Phil Spector, yesteryear's teen tycoon of rock, whose paeans to post-pubescent passion (Be My Baby, You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin') earned him an estimated $5,000,000 before he retired in 1966 at age 25. Last February Spector was brought in by Beatles Manager Allen Klein to give the album a little commercial passion. And did he ever...

...takes were recorded in early 1969 during the shooting of a Beatles film happening, also called Let It Be.

Record sales roll on and on, but Apple Corps Ltd., their business organization, has been plagued by dissension and failed projects. There has been specific trouble over Allen Klein, Apple...

...bound to be less good than four may draw some encouragement from recent history. Last year reports of Paul McCartney's death-and replacement by a double-helped stir enormous sales for Abbey Road. Reports of the Beatles' death will certainly not do McCartney -or that upcoming LP Let It Be-any harm in the world's record shops...
