Get Back

"The Beatles : Get Back", Peter Jackson’s eagerly awaited documentary about the making of what came to be the "Let It Be" album and movie, has been pushed back to August 2021. To help soften the blow, the Beatles have announced the publication of a new companion book to the film.

To be published on August 31st, 2021, 4 days after the scheduled release of the movie, the 240 page hardcover book will include hundreds of previously unpublished images from the 1969 recording sessions that begat "Let It Be". Some of the photos were taken from the film, while others were snapped by Linda McCartney and Ethan A Russell. An entire section of the book will be devoted to images from the band’s famed rooftop concert during that period.

Credited to The Beatles, the "Get Back" book will also include freshly transcribed comments from the band, taken from the hundreds of hours of tape from those sessions. The comments, according to publisher Callaway Arts & Entertainment, will reveal the truth behind the "Let It Be" sessions.
