Recorded before the majestic masterpiece Abbey Road, but released a year later, this final Beatles album is dismissed by some fans due to its incoherence and somewhat effortless production. But although Let It Be cannot be ranked as one of Beatles' finest records, it is neither an album to overlook. There is a string of fine songs here, not at least the title track itself - a delightful yet sombre ballad that captured the mood of the group at the time. Other highlights include Dig A Pony, Across The Universe and I've Got A Feeling. Inconsistent? Yes. Unfinished? Probably. Let It Be is nevertheless a collection of some very fine tunes - and it's an album that deserves to be included in every music lovers' collection.
