(Published on 16. November 2021, 15:41 by SenatorGronk)
Inspired by the upcoming release on November 25th of Peter Jackson's new documentary, The Beatles: Get Back, which uses previously unreleased footage from the original Let It Be documentary.
Rules
This shouldn't be too hard, but the key is to keep track of the possible values for each letter. There's some neat interplay between the cypher, sandwich clues and cages. The given 4 is of course a reference to The Fab Four, and there's a little something extra that die-hard Beatles fans might notice at the end.

Rules
- Standard sudoku rules apply: each row, column and box contain the digits 1-9.
- Cypher: Each letter stands for a different digit from 0-9 (the letter standing for 0 only appears in the clues outside the grid). Two-letter clues should be read as two-digit numbers with the left letter as the tens digit and right letter as the units digit.
- Sandwich: Clues outside the grid represent the sum of the digits between 1 and 9 in the corresponding row/column.
- Each cage has the same sum.

Fun one. Definitely not as hard as most of yours, but not a cakewalk either.
I kept trying to figure out the hidden reference by looking at the outside numbers. It wasn't until ____'s comment that I realized, "I should have been looking within you and without you."
