Let
It Be
Front Cover
The
Backgrounds
As you look at the front cover, probably one of the first thing
that strikes you is that John, Ringo and George all have white backgrounds
whilst Paul's is blood red. Was there a reason to associate Paul
with blood? |
| |
Out
of Sync
Again, like the front cover of Abbey Road and Revolver, John, George
and Ringo are all facing towards the left whilst Paul is looking
straight ahead, again implying that he is somehow different from
the others. Why is this suggestion continually being put to us? |
| |
Hiding
the Scar
 The
photo of Paul in the White Album set was quite a brave move because
it showed his lip scar so clearly. In this photo however there is
a microphone covering his face, or more particularly, covering the
scar. Was this a deliberate move to do more to cover it up since
fans were now starting to learn of the conspiracy? |
| |
The
Black
This was the Beatles final LP to be released and the whole mood
given is very sombre. The Let It Be cover was the first Beatles
LP to be framed in black, possibly hinting
at a mourning. |
The Back Cover
The Sombre
Mood
The back cover is giving off a very sad, sombre atmosphere
and looks like an obituary (just like the gatefold for the
White Album). The faces of all four Beatles seem to be showing
a great upset and John looks like he's bawling tears. Why
was such an unhappy back cover designed for what was to
be the Beatles final LP released?
The Gatefold
The
Unusual Neck Holding
 The
gatefold version of the sleeve was only on the US pressings. It
was done as a kind of compromise after they refused to produce the
lavish box set. Within the gatefold you can see Paul holding his
neck in a very unusual way, possibly symbolising the neck injuries
sustained in the car crash? |
| |
Hiding
the Scar #2
 There's
a second detailed photo of Paul's face in the gatefold. Again, like
the front cover a microphone is conventiently placed to hide the
scar on his top lip, thus increasing the possibility that this was
done deliberatly. |
