"This LP is particularly interesting because it represents the only full-length issue of an undocumented version of the unreleased GET BACK LP, containing a few more seconds after the song Get Back and various small edits here and there and compiled in early May '69. It includes a longer version of Dig It compared with other releases of the time and the complete, unedited version of For You Blue.
The unreleased GET BACK LP was known since the mid seventies (after the Wizardo and Kornyphone records); it was mixed at EMI on May 28th, 1969. The differences of the mix which originated O.P.D. are the following:
TRACK 7, Get Back.
The O.P.D. mix has the original unedited version with a longer coda unavailable elsewhere.
The May 28th mix has the officially released version (45 mix), which is the same O.P.D. version, with the coda from another take edited onto the ending.
TRACK 12, Dig It
The O.P.D. mix is over 5 minutes long, on the promo GET BACK it clocks at 4’20". Compared with the longest available version, this edit of Dig It starts at 1’56’’ and lacks the following segments, probably edited at EMI during the mixing: from 2’18’’ to 2’57’’, from 5’56’’ to 6’26’’ and from 7’05’’ to 7’33’’.
TRACK 13, Let it be (take 27).
The May 28th mix is the same as the O.P.D. mix, plus the "Are we supposed to giggle in the solo" spoken intro (from take 23) edited onto the beginning."
