Note: WBCN Get Back Reference Acetate Broadcast - September 22, 1969
Somewhere between truth and fiction lies a wonderful legend that only
those that were there recall...
In the fall of 1969, a working version of the then unreleased 'Let it
Be' (at that time called 'Get Back') album filtered out into the
public. Whether as an actual test acetate of a discarded version, a
tape demo, who knows? What DID happen, was that a number of radio
stations began playing this as an 'advance' of the presumed upcoming
release of this album (that would not see light of day until the
following spring). This disc is a recording off the air of the evening
WCBN in Boston played the 'Get Back' acetate for the first time. The
Beatles performances are about as we know from the final album and
numerous bootlegs. What is most fun is a glimpse into what FM radio was
like in 1969. We hear comments from the DJ, and other minutiae. The
Vigotone issue of this material ("Posters, Incense and Strobe Candles")
included the entire evening's broadcast, commercials and all. This
Yellow Dog edition edits most of that out. Nonetheless, this is still a
great artifact and enjoyable.
