transcribing the get back sessions

apropos
In January 1969, The Beatles recorded the Get Back sessions, the output of which resulted in Let It Be, their penultimate but last to be formally released LP. From these sessions, approximately 97 hours of audio reels were recorded by Michael Lindsay-Hogg and his crew while on location in Twickenham Film Studios and the Apple building basement, filming what would eventually be Let It Be's accompanying documentary.
key
let it be blue: indicates dialogue included in the official release of the Let It Be film documentary.
get back green: indicates dialogue included in video footage available but not otherwise included in the official release of the Let It Be film documentary.
[optional sulpy]: indicates helpful commentary on the dialogue excerpted as writ by Doug Sulpy in his chronicling of the session reels, Drugs, Divorce, and a Slipping Image (2007 edition). It is important to stress that as reliable a source as it is, it remains interpretive in nature, and being prone to editorializing and arguable errors, should not be considered definitive.

I do out of compulsive interest and generally sober pedantry. I do for cultural import, psychosocial intrigue, and perceptive deconstruction.
Basically: I'm just a fan.
