The original edit from the 1970 LP "Let It Be" without the False ending that was issued on the single in 1969.
"Get Back" is a song by The Beatles, written primarily by Paul McCartney and formally attributed to Lennon/McCartney. The song was originally released as a single on 11 April 1969 and credited to "The Beatles with Billy Preston." A different mix of the song later became the closing track of Let It Be (1970), which was the Beatles' last album released just after the group split. The single version was later issued on CD on the second disc of the Past Masters compilation.
The single reached number one in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, France, West Germany, and Mexico. It was the Beatles' only single that credited another artist (Preston), although Tony Sheridan had shared billing with The Beatles on his single "My Bonnie" when issued in the UK in 1962 (and again in 1964). "Get Back" was the Beatles' first single release in true stereo in the US. In the UK, Beatles singles remained monaural until the following release, "The Ballad of John and Yoko".
In 2003 "Get Back" was re-released on the Let It Be... Naked album, remixed by independent producers with the sanction of surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, with John Lennon's and George Harrison's widows. The "naked" version of "Get Back" is ostensibly a cleaned up version of the single version albeit much shorter as there is a fade immediately before the final "whoo" and coda. Apple also prepared a specially-created music video of the Let It Be... Naked release of the song to promote that album in 2003. This video is edited together using stock footage of the band, along with Billy Preston, George Martin and others.
Love this song but what happened to the ending??

@pennylane144 The version from Let it Be cut off the false ending, only the single has it.
