RE: Question(s)

DID THE STONES GET WIND OF THE LET IT BE NAME AND CHANGE THEIR ALBUM TO LET IT BLEED IN ANSWER TO THAT?

Absolutely not! The Beatles were working on their LIB LP at the same time, yes, but it wasn't titled "Let it Be" when they were recording it. It was suppose to be titled, and the sessions for the album were titled, the "Get Back" sessions, as this was suppose to be a LP where the band got back to their roots. But things went south for the Fabs while recording the album, as you must know, and they hired Phil Spector months later to finish up the job that they had abandoned. It was then decided since this was going to be the last Beatle released of original material, they might as well re-title it "Let it Be", but this didn't take place until early 1970, long after the Stones Let it Bleed album came out. The Stones title was taken from the drug slang used for shooting up heroin with a needle and drawing blood, once a vein is found, which can be hard to do for a junkie with their collapsed veins, which get that way from shooting up too much. Once a junkie finds the vein, by drawing blood after several several attempts, they can finally shoot-up their fix, so that is what "let it bleed" (actual slang is "letting it bleed") really means. For the Beatles, since 'Get Back" no longer meant anything to their album, since they never did get back to their roots, "Let it Be" made more sense at the time of the LPs release, since this was gonna be the last of their LPs, and fans at this point could only 'let it be' and live with this news. But the Stones actually named their album long before the Beatles settled on a finial name for theirs.
