Era & Context
Recorded January 1969 but released May 1970 after the breakup, with Phil Spector's controversial orchestral overdubs applied without McCartney's consent. The Get Back sessions were intended as a return to live performance roots, but documented a band falling apart. The rooftop concert on January 30, 1969 became the Beatles' final public performance.
Career Phase
Four solo artists sharing a band name. The White Album's eclecticism reflected creative centrifugal force; Abbey Road's seamless medley was a final display of collective mastery; Let It Be documented the dissolution with Phil Spector's controversial orchestral overdubs.
