"They're trying to find the spark they once had," Martin explains. True to its working title of "Get Back," the production was intended as a return to their rock 'n' roll roots in a last-ditch attempt to restore a sense of unity amid the business and personal turmoil. "The fact of the matter is that everyone sees Let It Be as the Beatles' breakup album," says Martin, "but they were back in the studio weeks later doing 'I Want You/She's So Heavy' for Abbey Road." Instead of a breakup, he compares the Let It Be sessions to a date night. Though production delays made it the final album they released, the band stayed together long enough to record another album, Abbey Road, released in September of 1969. The myth that Let It Be was the Beatles' coup de grĂ¢ce has persisted despite a major flaw in logic.
