He also wanted the band to play live and possibly tour again. Paul McCartney, who at this point had taken leadership of the group, was anxious to see the band return or “get back” to its rock and roll roots and away from the lushly adorned and experimental pop music that they had been producing for the previous three years on the albums Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, The Beatles and Revolver. The point of the project was to produce a film and a supporting soundtrack that would serve as a candid document of the Beatles working in studio, creating good old fashioned rock and roll and later playing live at some yet undetermined venue. In January 1969, the Fab Four entered Twickenham Film studios to record tracks for an album and film release that at that point was tentatively titled The Get Back Project. The sessions would shortly move to the band’s own Apple studios. The distinction of last recorded goes to Abbey Road, but Let It Be was the last released.
