The recording sessions for "Let It Be" actually began as rehearsals
for a proposed return to live stage work for the Beatles, to be
inaugurated in a concert at a Roman amphitheatre in Tunisia. In this
thoroughly researched book, Steve Matteo delves deep into the complex
history of these sessions. He talks to a number of people who were in
the studio with the Beatles, recording the sights and sounds of the band
at work bringing to life a period in the Beatles' career that was
creative and chaotic in equal measure.
