Every song written and recorded during the ‘Get Back/Let It Be’ sessions

Sun 7 August 2022 18:30, UK

In 1969, The Beatles were looking to return to their roots. It had been a hard couple of years. As creative collaborators, but also just as men, the ‘fab four’ were starting to feel more like the drab four. The infamous Get Back project was a perhaps slightly foolish attempt to remedy the situation, to give John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr the motivational kick up the backside they needed. Sadly, all but Paul remained deeply unenthused by the whole idea. Things didn’t get better when a camera crew arrived at Abbey Road to capture the already exhausted band while they rehearsed their upcoming album.

It would be wrong to imply that all the Get Back sessions were plagued by inter-personal tension, but there were certainly some difficult patches. Let’s not forget that John Lennon was addicted to heroin at the time and was completely unwilling to be parted from Yoko Ono, that other all-consuming addiction in his life. Almost in reaction to the many years they’d been forced to exist as a sort of homogeneous blob, the Beatles frequently found themselves at odds with one another, with Harrison growing increasingly frustrated with Paul’s domineering approach.

Lennon captures the animosity towards Paul and the Get Back project in Jann S Wenners’ book Lennon Remembers. “In a nutshell, Paul wanted to make – it was time for another Beatle movie or something, and Paul wanted us to go on the road or do something. As usual, George and I were going, ‘Oh, we don’t want to do it, fuck,’ and all that. He set it up and there was all discussions about where to go and all that. I would just tag along and I had Yoko by then. I didn’t even give a shit about anything. I was stoned all the time, too, on H etc. And I just didn’t give a shit. And nobody did, you know…”

It says a lot about The Beatles’ work ethic that despite all the tension and fatigue they still managed to record a frankly stunning amount of material. Ringo Starr once said that The Beatles catalogue may only have consisted of two albums if McCartney hadn’t kicked the other members into gear. That being said, there were moments during the Get Back/Let It Be sessions when Paul would have been quite happy to walk away from the whole damn thing: “I’m scared of being the boss, ” he says during one particularly wrought scene in Peter Jackson’s Get Back, “and I have been for like a couple of years.”
