I think Lennon made that comment when the Beatles decided to dispense with George Martin's services for the entire Let It Be album. They regretted it though and asked him back for Abbey Road.

Let It Be was nearly completely recorded before Abbey Road, with some recording sessions made in early 1970 (when the band was pretty much already split, as there was never all four of them together again after the Abbey Road recordings).

I think I Me Mine was the only Let It Be song recorded after Abbey Road, and that song doesn't have Lennon on it (as he had left the group at that point).


There is an error in el tigre's post though - Spector came in after Abbey Road was made, not before. The Get Back sessions (what the Let It Be album was originally called) were somewhat of a disaster and the album made from them at the time was scrapped, and the band rebounded with their (in my opinion) 'true' final album, Abbey Road.

It was only after Abbey Road that Spector was brought in in an attempt to work on the Get Back stuff, and remixed pretty much all of it. The Let It Be... Naked album released about 10 years ago is a reworking by McCartney to get it to sound more like the original vision.

John Russell Waters died aged 67. English born actor who settled in Aus and was prominent in Film/Theatre/TV and Music.

First saw him on stage in Hair and Jesus Christ Superstar in the 60/70's and recently in the John Lennon tribute show 'Looking through a Glass Onion".

RIP John Waters.

Errm, John Waters is alive and well 'Blue' I think you are referring to Jon ENGLISH who died after complications to a post heart operation the other day. HE was Judas Iscariot in Jesus Christ Superstar.
R.I.P. Jon English.

Cheers. Complete mix-up. John Waters was also in Jesus Christ Superstar. Previous post edited.

Great quote on a programme shown the other night to mark his death by George Martin. He suggested that the company put a double credit on Let It Be. "produced by George Martin, overproduced by Phil Spector".
