The new Super Deluxe edition of The Beatles’ final album Let It Be kicks off a bonanza of unseen and unheard material, including a brand new stereo mix of the original album, 27 previously unreleased session recordings, a four-track Let It Be EP, and the never released 14-track Get Back mix by engineer Glyn Johns from May 1969. Alongside this treasure trove comes the 3-part documentary The Beatles: Get Back, directed by Peter Jackson, and a tie-in hardback book. Here, we pick ten great previously unreleased moments from the box set that shed new light on the guitar music of the greatest band of all time.
Can You Dig It? (Jam)
On the original Let It Be album, we got a 51-second snippet of a Beatles jam called Dig It, more of an audio link than a song. This had been cut from a 15-minute improvisation which the band revisited later, presumably intending to develop it into something more. Here we get another two minutes from a different day’s recording. Now called Can You Dig It?, the track includes more lyrics and some wild slide guitar playing by John Lennon.
Please Please Me... Again (Rehearsal)
The original plan for the project had been for the Beatles to ‘get back’ to their old way of recording, with live performances and no overdubs. Perhaps that’s what prompts an impromptu slowed down piano-led rendition of Please Please Me, the band’s first number one single, with George Harrison experimenting with lead guitar accompaniment. Like many ideas that came up during the sessions, this didn’t lead to anything, but it’s a tantalising glimpse of a revisited Beatles classic.
