Source Notes:
Let It Be was originally conceived as a TV documentary and was thus shot in 4:3 on 16mm stock. Later the decision was made to format it into a feature film, necessitating a pan-and-scan transfer of the 16mm film to a widescreen 35mm frame. The original 4:3 version was then left largely unseen by the public, with most broadcasters opting for the widescreen version or the shrunken 4:3 version released on laserdisc.
Previously we presented the widescreen theatrical version of the film with a new stereo soundtrack. Here we offer the original uncropped 16mm version from a very high quality German print. The extra picture at the top and bottom gives the film a different feel – more like a documentary and less like a theatrical feature. This version is totally different to the grainy, heavily cropped print released on vhs and laserdisc in 1981, and includes the same remastered stereo soundtrack as the widescreen version. An additional feature has been added in the form of optional captions which provide the exact date for each scene
A scant few subtitles in German originally marred this print. Here they have been seamlessly removed, providing fans with the first ever opportunity to watch this unique movie in uninterrupted high quality vision and sound.

Added Notes (from Hob)
There have been some slight extra changes made to this version, mainly the fixing of dodgy synch from the original film. A couple of bits come to mind,
such as Mal Evan’s anvil banging in Maxwell’s Silver Hammer and parts of John’s vocal on Dig It, but there were also out-of-synch moments in a lot of other
songs. It should be pointed out that many (or even most) of the cutaways and closeups come from different takes or, worse still, completely different songs.
So you can’t really expect these sorts of shots will ever look right. In such cases I just left them as they are.
I also fixed the ending of Two Of Us which previously switched to mono. I’d overlooked the fact that the stereo ending can be found on one of the Naked promo
videos.
The resynched audio is based partly upon work I originally did for Unsurpassed Promos disc 4. I was then pointed in the direction of a cd compiled by
HenryTheHorse which uses the Nagras to reconstruct the movie soundtrack. This saved me all the trouble of identifying and locating all the scores of different
fragments used in the first half of the film which, in all honesty, I would not have had the knowledge to do. Unfortunately his cd was not synched to the
film images, so that meant a hellish night spent aligning it to the optical soundtrack. A couple of bits (= One After 909 and I Me Mine) sounded better
on the optical soundtrack to me so I didn’t use those. In doing so I innadvertantly cut out a four letter word from George at the start of I Me Mine… here
expletive in question has been restored to its rightful place in the proceedings…
The optical soundtrack used here is actually from the BBC broadcast, which sounded noticeably better than the German one.
