The Beatles: Get Back to Let It Be

The Beatles: Get Back to Let It Be

  • John Lennon's 1965 Epiphone Casino guitar. John Lennon used this guitar extensively during the Let It Be sessions and played it during the Beatles' final public performance on the rooftop of the group's Apple Corps headquarters in London on January 30, 1969.
  • "I Me Mine" lyrics. George Harrison said this about “I Me Mine,” the last new song the Beatles recorded before the group’s breakup: “’I Me Mine’ is the ego problem. …There are two ‘I’s: the little ‘I’ when people say ‘I am this’; and the big ‘I’ – is duality and ego. There is nothing that isn’t part of the complete whole. When the little ‘I’ merges into the big ‘I’ then you are really smiling!” Harrison titled his 1980 autobiography after the song.
  • Ringo Starr Jacket and Trousers, 1969. Pants design by Gedal. Collection of Richard and Barbara Starkey. On January 30, 1969, the day of the rooftop concert, it was cold outside. John Lennon remarked that his hands were too cold to play a chord on the guitar. Ringo Starr borrowed his then wife Maureen Starkey’s red Lurex rain jacket for extra warmth. Lennon borrowed Yoko Ono’s fur coat.
  • The Beatles perform on Apple Corps rooftop, Savile Row, London. January 30, 1969
  • Glyn Johns Diaries, 1969. Collection of Glyn Johns. These diaries document all of Glyn Johns’ recording sessions, meetings and events related to the Let It Be sessions, including the Beatles’ rooftop performance at the band’s headquarters in London and the Rolling Stones’ live concert recording at Madison Square Garden. Johns also noted appointments with featured Let It Be musician Billy Preston, as well as dinner with Elektra Records founder Jac Holzman.
  • Let It Be Acetate, 1969. The Beatles. Collection of Glyn Johns. Johns had an idea for an album giving the listener a fly-on-the-wall insight into the Beatles at work in the studio. He mixed several tracks and made acetates for each Beatle to review.
