Hi there Brian and Simon here hope you're all keeping well.

As the Beatles maniacs amongst you will know the 15th of October sees the release on various formats

of the 50th anniversary remix of the Beatles final album 1970s Let It Be. Much like the previous

reissues in the series it's accompanied by a host of enticing extras including

outtakes, a lovely book with new essays and liner notes and

Glyn John's original mix of the Get Back album.

Now if you're familiar with this podcast and our social media feed

it probably hasn't escaped your attention that we rather like the Beatles.

So when our good friend Ashley got in touch and asked us if we'd like to chat to Giles Martin,

son of George, and the mastermind behind all the Beatles anniversary remixes about his work on the Let It Be project, we jumped at the chance.

And the result is this lovely bonus episode.

If you have any suggestions for future bonus content, get in touch on the socials.

We'll make whatever bonus episodes you want us to,

or we won't make any at all if you don't want us to.

Whatever it is, that'll please you, we'll do it.

So thanks to Ash for his helping setting this up,

and without further ado, here we are talking,

let it be with the splendid.

Giles Martin. Oh, Hi guys how you do you do?

Yeah good you're looking very well how are things?

things are good yeah I've got a dodgy beard at the moment which I might shave off.

Yeah, it makes me look very old. I still don't realize I've become distinguished or maybe not.
