The Beatles' next album, called Get Back, Don't Let Me Down, and 12 Other Titles, is scheduled for release next month.

The Beatles, now reunited in London, are considering whether to make a promotional film for TV for the album. They are also at work, at their Savile Row Studios, on yet another album.

Meanwhile, other Apple news has organist/singer Billy Preston (of recent acclaim for his playing in "Get Back") out with a single called "That's the Way God Planned It." The song is by Preston and the single was produced by George Harrison.

The single LP from the Beatles is unbanded on both sides, with songs moving one into the other. Between many of the songs there is all the talking and comments the Beatles went through during the recording of the album, all left in for the "live" effect.

One of the first things on the album is a jam on "Save the Last Dance for Me," which then turns into "Don't Let Me Down." The talking continues, and songs turn into other songs. "Get Back" is also on the album and is one of the best tracks on it. The talk goes on, the chatter, the loose chords, the out of tune notes, the flat singing. But they clearly are having fun.

On the second side is a beautiful Paul McCartney ballad, titled "Let It Be." This track should be the single released from the album. The lyrics are simple, the melody is all McCartney and the instrumental is a pretty solo passage of a guitar being played through a Leslie amplifier.

The album was recorded over many weeks at Twickenham film studios in London and was done live with no baffles or intricate miking. Little overdubbing was done, and the sound is dominated by acoustic guitars.
