Review of “Let It Down” (The Beatles)

The best way to approach ‘Let It Down’ is to imagine the Beatles walking into a small tavern and taking the stage, and then jamming for a couple of hours.  Composed of 50 songs — roughly a third Beatles classics we know, another third covers of songs by other popular artists, and several songs never heard before which are of surprisingly good quality — this is one of the best bootleg albums to surface with recordings from one of their most productive periods.
