Yes. The vast majority of Let It Be was recorded prior to Abbey Road but released after Abbey Road.

1971 was when the ex-Beatles solo projects really got going. April 1971 I think all 4 of them had songs in the charts!
Bummer. It would have been cool if Bob Marley wrote a song about it. 🚬I was eleven that year, and the biggest event for me was that my bike was stolen from the bike rack at school, along with two other bikes, and yes, it was locked.It would be a year before I got another bike (we didn't have much money).
I’m really looking forward to this. 1971 was an incredible year for music...possibly my favorite. Only challenged by 1973. There’s a great book about 1971 called “Never A Dull Moment:1971 The Year That Rock Music Exploded”. I wonder if it was the inspiration for this show.
Want! January 1971 here.

I guess I am not the only one who thinks 1971 is the best year for music.
Just watched the first couple episodes... I'm totally loving this. So far, I feel like they're capturing the music that was out there at the time (vs. the current "Classic Rock" station stuff... which may/may not be what was actually on the radio at the time). Granted, I was only a toddler in 1971... but I remember the music on my parent's home/car radios back in early 70's I think this series (so far) is really good.
If anyone that's older than I (and has feedback on what the series is covering)... feel free to chime in / retort!
