The third volume in this superbly packaged trilogy from Silent Sea.

This was the most intriguing title to me of all 3 volumes.  I have yet to see a pristine version of the "Let It Be" film and figured I ought to have a pretty good shot here.  Unfortunately, I have come to learn that the 8mm footage was a cheap way to shoot this musical docu-drama and it just came down to a budget call at the time of rolling - and it shows. 

Now, it has been widely published that an official version is being readied for a special DVD release sometime in late-2005, possibly for the Christmas Season and will include all sorts of extras - and there is no end to the footage shot for this project in late January 1969.  Let's hope this is true.  Until that happens, this Silent Sea version is certainly no worse than other versions that have surfaced.  This is the official film and it does come with a signifcant benefit:  the rooftop concert portion of the film is the absolute best I have seen yet, and in superb stereo soundtrack quality too. This is the second big selling point for this Filmography 3.  (The first is the cream of the crop DVD digipack that this disc is packaged in!)

The third selling point for this title is the interesting Twickenham Film Studios outtakes that make up Side B of the dual-sided disc.  The only down side to the intriguing footage featured here is that we are treated to the John Lennon/Yoko Ono camera footage of what was going on over this period of time at both Twickenham and Abbey Road.  Let's face it, of all the footage we could choose to watch - I'm guessing the Yoko Ono subject wouldn't be number 1.  And they even allow her to do that annoying "whining"-slash-"wailing" during a down time in these rehearsals - yikes!  I have heard these outtakes before but have never seen the video version, scary.  But, still interesting in a perverse sort of way! I should mention that the soundtrack that accompanies these outtakes almost sound like those pristine studio reels that were released by Yellow Dog and their "Day-by-Day" CD series.  Strange that this footage has such immaculate and rich soundboard audio most of the way and the official film suffers from ridiculously thin stereo soundtrack. Compared to the outtake audio on side B, it sounds like an AM radio.

This is classic stuff, this is history.  This is what makes bootleg collecting so enjoyable, interesting and feverish. A highly recommended title, at least until the official and definitive "Let It Be" arrives at a DVD player near you.
