Yeah I thought about this too and while there may not have been a formal collaboration where they split the various content among them, I’m sure word got around about what the others were working on and thinking.ashwom1 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 11:12 pm Interesting though that Jackson says there was no dialogue between himself, John Harris writing the Get Back book, and Giles Martin making the Let It Be box set about what had to be included. This kind of debunks a lot of the comments Giles has made about not including such and such because it works better on film (the rooftop being the prime example).
From Giles standpoint, if he had a restriction on disk count or content length, and found out that PJ was going to include the full rooftop show, it’s an easy decision for him to exclude it (and I’m on record here agreeing with that decision since it’s no issue for those who want to convert the video to audio).
I think it’s more a reflection about how hands off the boys really are at this point on the reissues. They trust their teams and let them do what they want with what seems like very little oversight or instruction.
