Album Notes LET IT BE...NAKED contains a FLY ON THE WALL bonus disc including song rehearsals and conversation snatches. The Beatles: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr. Additional personnel: Billy Preston (keyboards). Includes liner notes by Kevin Howlett and interview excerpts with The Beatles from the original LET IT BE book. In its original form, LET IT BE signaled the end of an era, closing the book on the Beatles, as well as literally and figuratively marking the end of the '60s. The 1970 release evolved from friction-filled sessions the Beatles intended to be an organic, bare-bones return to their roots. Instead, the endless hours of tapes were eventually handed over to Phil Spector, since neither the quickly splintering Beatles nor their longtime producer George Martin wanted to sift through the voluminous results. LET IT BE... NAKED sets the record straight, revisiting the contentious sessions, stripping away the Spectorian orchestrations, reworking the running order, and losing all extemporaneous in-studio banter. On this version of the album, filler tracks ("Dig It," "Maggie Mae") are dropped, while juicy b-side "Don't Let Me Down" is added. The most obvious revamping is on the songs handled heavily by Spector. Removing the orchestrations from "The Long and Winding Road" and "Across the Universe" gives Paul McCartney's vocals considerably more resonance on the former, doing the same for John Lennon's voice and guitar on the latter. This alternate take on LET IT BE enhances the album's power, reclaiming the raw, unadorned quality that was meant to be its calling card from the beginning.

I had this as an LP when I was 15 years old and have fond memories of it. Let it be naked is not the same as the original. It is still good. What I wanted was to have the original version. I didn't know things were changed when it was remastered. I am going to buy the original and list the nake version on ebay. Review ID: 10000000008189147 Was this review helpful? Report this review Let It Be..NakedThis CD is definitely for the consummate Beatle fan that just wants "one more"! Although I wasn't old enough to appreciate the Beatle mania when it happened, I am one of those people who will never tire of their music. This CD is just pure and simple Beatles and I love it. In my opinion, we will never experience another phenomena like the Beatles. Forty years later, their music sounds as good to me as it did years ago. Long story short, great CD, buy it, you will love it. Review ID: 10000000006123155 Was this review helpful? Report this review Let it Be... Naked - CD in Perfect ConditionCD was exactly as advertised and was promptly delivered. Stripped of all the over-orchestration and angelic choirs, it's so much better than the Phil Spector version. Thanks! Review ID: 10000000005008489 Was this review helpful? Report this review Let It Be... Naked - Beatles (The) (CD 2003)What I liked about this CD was that the orchastra was removed in most of the songs, hence NAKED.Teh sounds were same as the let it be album but with that special Beatle sound.
