Catalogue Note
The "lost" album "Get Back" was supposed to be released in 1969. It never was and the last Beatles album, "Let it be", was a modified version of the first project.
As the band knew it will be the last record, they decided to use the image of their first album 7 years later.
So they used, for the back cover, the original cover of "Please Please Me", 1962, with the picture of the young Fab Four came back to the EMI Building in 1969 to shoot the picture in the (almost) same position. Nevertheless, the faces are not as smily as they were then.
