Let It Be...Naked [VINYL]

Product Information

Unfortunately I have not heard the Glyn Johns mix that is on the new “Let It Be” boxset but something tells me it’s probably pretty close to the “naked” version.

Our old friend soniclovenoize has a version you can check out here that is way better than what the producers came up with for Let It Be…Naked.You do get some nice remixes of a couple of songs off the original album – these make the album worth owning. You know, I totally get why people don’t like “The Long and Winding Road”, I’ll admit I can be a sucker for schmaltz sometimes. The 7” “Fly On The Wall” compilation of musical snippets and conversations is like the extremely condensed audio version of the recent documentary.

It actually sounds lifeless, overly polished and fake if you compare it with UK original 1st pressing. On "The Long and Winding Road", the Naked producers used the final take, recorded five days after the rough run-through Spector had selected for the original album.Morricone channelled his muse and wrote that music while watching film of a guy running around a graveyard. 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.

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. No offence is intended to Phil Spector; his sound is perfect for The Crystals and Ike and Tina but not for the Beatles. Paul let’s out a glorious, exhilarating whoop after the instrumental breakdown as the band comes back in, and I do miss that on the LIBN take(s). But you’re right, why has he been replicating the elements that make it unlistenable for all the years since?

You may not dig the orchestra in that section on the Spector version, but you have to admit, that organ solo is bad. After the seemingly numerous renumerations of GB-LIB, Naked is my favorite sounding and playing version of it.

For You Blue" – a remix of the 25 January 1969 take used on the album, including Harrison's re-recorded lead vocal from 8 January 1970 and reinstating his rhythm guitar; framing dialogue removed. But if you have any interest at all in hearing Get Back as it was originally intended when the Beatles started recording it in January 1969 (before they got sick of it, and of each other), Let it Be…Naked is definitely not the album for you. Language - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description. Having said that, here I go, ignoring my own advice; the Let It Be sessions (which are just that), in whatever released form. 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.

They also changed the mix so that more instruments were heard in that last repeated verse, to try and make it a little more interesting.
