I again bring this up because nobody seems to hear it besides me. At
3:28 to 3:29 in this song, you can
barely hear George playing 3 notes with his slide. It does not appear
in the album version or any other
version. (It shows this as the album version but it's not.)

That's not a slide guitar, it's the other solo, the one that's mixed up
on the album version. It's still slightly audible underneath the organ
and background vocals.

on the hi hat at 0:53 like there is on the album version. Something
else I never noticed is the song really drops tempo from start to
finish.

Yes, it is! I've been listening to it for 42 years. I bought the single
when it was released and I still have it. I bought the album (British
version, in the box with the book) when it was released. I've played
them backwards and forwards hundreds maybe thousands of times, and I
know for sure: both solos are audible on both versions, and what you're
faintly hearing is the album solo. There's no slide guitar, it's a
bent-by-fingers note, and you hear it at the end of the album version,
too.

Agree.
He uses the same guitar effect (just delay?) that he almost uses
through all the Let It Be sessions, but both solos were done as
overdub sessions.
I prefer the other solo.

I know you're a long-time listener, which is why it's hard to believe
you hear something that I know isn't there. There's no slide guitar in
that song, and the bit you hear is the same solo that's mixed high on
the album.
I synced the two versions up here - the album version is in the left
channel, the single is in the right. You can hear the same solo in both
channels, just mixed very low on the single.

intently since it's release, and this song has had a profound impact on
my life. I was just a 9-year-old kid, already playing piano. I was
studying classical music, and already a young Beatles fanatic since age
7. I immediately began playing this song then, and still perform it to
this day.
To me, it's revered like a gospel song on some different level of
gospel. This song makes me feel like - home. As I mentioned in another
thread, this song is programming tonally into my brain, and I always
know where "C" is - giving me perfect pitch.
It seems like you guys feel similarly about this amazing song. You're
dedicated to it, and there is a certain awe about the way it's
discussed. EXCELLENT!
P-Dub: This is the single version - with the Leslie guitar solo. I don't
hear slide. I think the blend of the Leslie in the mix is maybe what
you're hearing.

I'll give it a listen. I should have said that it "sounds like"
a slide guitar. Even if you're right...(which you probably
are) wouldn't you agree that It's very clever because
your average listener would probably not even know
the notes are there, cause they probably don't hear
it? That's my main point more than if it's a slide or
not.

guitar going thru a leslie (rotary) speaker - while the album version
features a guitar going thru a fuzz effect. The fuzz sounds more ballsy.
I like them both, but I like the fuzz a little more on this. I like the
guitar thru leslie effect on other stuff - such as Pink Floyd's 'Echoes'.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_It_Be_%28song%29]
Single version
The single used the same cover photographs as the Let It Be album, and
was originally released on 6 March 1970, backed by "You Know My Name
(Look Up the Number)", with a production credit for George Martin. This
version includes orchestration and backing vocals overdubbed on 4
January 1970 -- under the supervision of Martin and McCartney -- with
backing vocals that included the only known contribution by Linda
McCartney to a Beatles song. It was during this same session that
Harrison recorded the second overdubbed guitar solo. The intention at
one point was to have the two overdub solos playing together. This idea
was dropped for the final mix of the single, and only the 30 April solo
was used, although the 4 January overdub can be heard faintly during
the final verse. Martin mixed the orchestration very low in this
version.
Album version
On 26 March 1970, Phil Spector remixed the song for the Let It Be
album. This version features the "more stinging" 4 January 1970 guitar
solo, no backing vocals (except during the first chorus), a delay
effect on Ringo's high-hat, and more prominent orchestration. The final
chorus has three "let it be..." lines, as the "there will be an answer"
line is repeated twice (instead of once as on the single) before the
"whisper words of wisdom" line to close the song.
