The tracklisting on this version of Let It Be differs slightly from the original—there's no "Maggie Mae" or "Dig It", while "Don't Let Me Down" has been added. These guys were really cooking and grooving in a way I hadn’t appreciated about these sessions previously. So for a few songs at least, I think the sound of the new mixes more than justifies the cost of the album.

it may be intriguing to hear a version of 'Across the Universe' featuring only Lennon and some echo effects, but the new mix merely emphasises the song's droning vapidity.

Suggested alternate title: Get Back: The Let It Be Sessions, with the (originally intended) "updated" Please Please Me cover -eventually used on the "1967-1970" compilation (The Blue Album), which was Lennon's idea.

I totally agree with you on the sound of LiBN, I personally think it sounds great, the sound really justifies the release for me. You’ve gotta decide what “naked” version of “Across the Universe” you are going to use, I’m partial to the one on Anthology 2, but there are several possibilities. It is unfortuante that there are in my listening audible places in Naked where there seems like relatively noticeable overload to the point of over-saturation and even light distortion.

It's the only version of the album I find not wondering when it will be over and also feeling sad when it is over.

Get Back" – a remix of the take recorded on 27 January 1969 used for both the single and album; without the coda recorded on 28 January featured in the single version or framing dialogue from the studio and rooftop concert added to the album version. of course, for a couple of songs we already had some outstanding remixes on Let It Be…Naked – which was a complete misfire in so many ways, but did have exceptional sound quality. How strange to have become so used to the "Phis Spector" version thta everyone I know felt to be overorchestrated and saccharine from the time of its release that this "new" edit seems weird by comparison. The tracklisting on this version of Let It Be differs slightly from the original--there's no "Maggie Mae" or "Dig It", while "Don't Let Me Down" has been added.

I would give this a 7 because when I do dial up a Beatles album, there’s a better than average chance it will be this one.

I’m not quite as negative on it as you are but we agree on it being one of my least liked Beatle releases or “reworks”. An awful lot of text has been devoted to this "album" in its various forms: the Spectorised original, the Glyn Johns mixes and now this Naked (silly term, Paul, nothing naked about it) version.

He is also determined that they should break away from their insular recording career and appear before the public again. The tracklisting on this version of Let It Be differs slightly from the original‚Äîthere's no "Maggie Mae" or "Dig It", while "Don't Let Me Down" has been added. The producers spat in our faces with the “Fly on the Wall” disc, and if I ever get the chance I honestly plan to spit back. And I remember thinking, “This is how I want all the proper Beatles releases to sound, why don’t they work on that instead?

Like “I’ve Got a Feeling” – mixing the two versions rather than just using the first take makes this something very different than simply a de-Spectorized Let It Be, and wasn’t that the point to begin with?And then there is the travesty of the “Fly on the Wall” bonus disc, which could have fit neatly onto the first disc and didn’t need to be a bonus disc in the first place. I am talking mostly about the songs where Spector hadn’t futzed around with the arrangements much in the first place – “Two of Us”, “One After 909”, “For You Blue”, three songs I really love that are a lot of fun that have shiny new mixes on this release. Let It Be" – a remix of take 27A from 31 January 1969 used for George Martin's single version and Spector's album version, with edit pieces including Harrison's guitar solo from take 27B edited in. It was supposed to be closer to the “warts and all” plan The Beatles had for the album when they recorded it in January 1969, but the producers took all of the “warts and all” out by mashing up different takes of songs, pulling solos from completely different takes, and using all kinds of other 2000s studio trickery light years away from the live in the studio vibe these songs were shooting for when they were first recorded. Now that I have finally got round to listening to the 2003 re-mastered version of LIBN I am pleased with the result.
