In January, 1969 "The Beatles" conceived to create the full-length movie chronicle of the studio work and to let out him along with the next album and similar contents by the book. The Get Back song composed by Paul became the name of this complex project ("Return"). Musicians pursued two main objectives — to recreate the situation and the atmosphere of ease characteristic of their concerts of the beginning of 60th in club "Cavities" on the screen and to show to public that the quartet still uniform and healthy creative organism. Neither that, nor other objective was achieved because actually everything was not so.
Work on an album Get Back was thrown (some singles with the most successful songs were released), but the group after all could find forces to create an album Abbey Road — the masterpiece which became the last creation of group (Let It Be left later, but consisted of the records created at the beginning of 1969).
Last song of group became "I Me Mine" George Harrison which musicians wrote down already without Lennon on January 3, 1970. In March of the same year the soundtracks from an unfortunate album Get Back which was not released were given to the American producer Phil Spector who processed old records, added to them the last The Beatles songs (including "Let It Be" and "I Me Mine") and prepared an album Let It Be for release. Business was complicated by the fact that Paul was extremely dissatisfied with Spectors work; especially it did not like the version of its song "The Long and Winding Road" where Spector added violin ensemble, creating a notorious "wall of a sound" and grandiosely sounding chorus that, according to McCartney, finally destroyed an essence of a song and he even wanted to forbid release of an album it did not manage that. Lennon, on the contrary, considered that "… Phil made an album to which, at all reservations, it is possible to listen of a heap of shit". Kogda representatives of EMI informed George Martin that he will not be specified as the producer of an album, he answered: "I was engaged in producing of the original; everything that you should specify: "Producing — George Martin, reproducing — Phil Spector". The British press called an album "a cardboard gravestone monument" and "the sad final of unique music band.
Despite all difficulties, Let It Be which is considered the last "lifetime" album The Beatles was released on May 8, 1970 and for several days received the gold status, having set a record of pre-orders in America — 3.7 million copies. On May 13 in New York (in Liverpool and London — a week later) there was a documentary "Let It Be", but any of Beatles was not present at his prime minister because the ensemble, per se, did not exist any more.
at the beginning of 2002 McCartney employed sound engineers with Abbey Road — Paul Hicks, Guy Massie and Allan Rauz and republished an album Let It Be as it was planned to be made initially, during record of material. The album received the name Let It Be … Naked (2003).
