Fest For Beatles Fans, 2008: Get Back

You can always tell the diehard Beatles fans from the casual ones. :-D This New York licnese plate appeared on a Jeep in the parking deck outside the hotel where the Beatles convention was held.

 

Yes, sometimes you see plates reading "28 IF."

 

"Get Back," of course, was the Beatles's spring 1969 single, the first to be issued in stereo in the U.S. and the last to be issued in mono in the U.K. The song, written mainly by Paul, urged a couple of curious characters to return to where they started, which is exactly what the Beatles were attempting to do when they recorded this song, along with several others, during the January 1969 Apple Studio sessions that ultimately produced the Let It Be album.

 

The B-side of "Get Back" was "Don't Let Me Down," a Lennon song about Yoko.
