An extensively remixed and reworked version of songs first released in 1970, Let It Be. Naked stripped away the studio chatter and post-production from The Beatles' swansong, presenting a release closer to the group's original vision.The project came about following a chance meeting between Paul McCartney and the Let It Be film director Michael Lindsay-Hogg. They discussed the lack of availability of the film on VHS and DVD, and spoke about the possibility of remixing the soundtrack to accompany such a release.McCartney had long been aggrieved by the Let It Be album, particularly the Spector's 1970 post-production work which added his Wall of Sound signature to several songs.

Chief among McCartney's objections was, which he felt had been transformed from a simple piano ballad to a full-blown orchestral epic without his consent.In February 2002 Apple's called Abbey Road Studios' Allan Rouse to ask him to remix the Let It Be recordings. Rouse recruited fellow in-house engineers Paul Hicks and Guy Massey, and the trio began assembling a new album from the 30 reels of tape, referring to the albums assembled by Spector and Glyn Johns for comparison.

Naked was issued worldwide on 17 November 2003, two days before Phil Spector was charged with the murder of actress Lana Clarkson.The album was issued with a silver cover, featuring monochrome images of The Beatles. The photograph of Harrison originally used on Let It Be was swapped for one featuring him in performance.Although the album sold well, and topped the charts in Chile and Mexico, fan reactions were mixed. A widely held response was that Apple should have focused on the reissue of the Let It Be film or the remastered albums, rather than remixing songs to settle a 30-year grudge held by Paul McCartney.Let It Be.

Naked was re-released on the iTunes Music Store on 2 April 2013. Totally agree. Although I have very fond memories of the original ‘Let It Be’ when I received it as an xmas present in the late 70’s, hearing ‘Naked’ for the first time on the day of its release was something else and I definitely prefer it as it ‘fits the brief’ in which the ‘Get Back’ project was begun. A lot of people have criticised Paul McCartney for pushing to get this version done and out but the fact that George and Ringo signed this album off so enthusiastically shows he was right to push.But in the end, as Paul has said, ‘it’s nice to have both’ and anyway, ‘Let It Be Naked’ managed, on release, to sound like a contemporary album so it’s well and good that it sits apart in the ‘new’ canon. Dear Bradley: No, what he said was that the TAPES that was given to Phil Spector was “shit., etc”, not the final result, which actually all 4 members of the band, including George Martin approved on to be the final release and where quite satisfied with (including the song “The long and winding road” WITH the orchestration, was approved by all members).

There’s lots of negative rumours around the Get Back/Let it Be project, many of them exaggerating towards the negative, as things too often tends to do. Note that by the time the tapes was given to Phil, Glyn Johns had already made two attempts to make an album of the material (of which the second, from January 1970, is the best, IMO) but they were rejected as not good enough for a Beatles release. Also, the two Glyn Johns mixes was not 100% final, they were suggestions, but the band didn’t think Glyn was up to a third try, that’s why Glyn, to this very day, refuses to talk about the subject.

As both John and George already had started to work with Phil Spector as producer by then, it was decided that Phil should mix the album and although Paul perhaps wasn’t 100% satisfied with that, he agreed and went along with it. Of course not everything I write here is 100% correct since no one has the facts about all this, merely different points of views and memories. Anyhow, Paul never were as satisfied as the others about the final mix, so of course, he finally mixed it and cleaned it up by himself, after all, it was his idea and project to start with.

I think the result is very good, but I wish he wouldn’t have cleaned it up as much as he did, but leave a bit more of the “live” feel from the recordings. Saying that, I’m sure he did the best he could, with all those messy tapes and huge amounts of takes of which few songs got recorded 100% proper, if anyone. I believe the other Beatles were united in not wanting “Cold Turkey” as a Beatles single. What is the evidence they voted it off Abbey Road? John had written songs about drugs before and delivered tracks that were far more questionable musically (Revolution No.

9), and these were not kept off Beatles albums. I believe it is far more likely that John, having had “Cold Turkey” rejected as a single, chose to keep it off the album, credit it to “Lennon,” and release it as a single. After that, it was obviously out of contention for any future group releases, which, by this time, was only going to be Let It Be.

By including the reworked World Wildlife Fund anthem “Across the Universe” to help beef up the Lennon contribution to Let It Be, the Beatles proved they were not going to be pure to the Get Back concept. It was, therefore, Lennon’s choice to keep it from the Beatles. I respect your opinion, but it may not be fair to judge “Cold Turkey” solely on the released version.

I expect that, had “Come Together” been released by John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, it would have had a different sound than the Abbey Road version, and had “Cold Turkey” been turned over to George Martin and the other Beatles, a quite different product would have emerged. George Harrison commented that listening to Abbey Road was like “listening to someone else.” Abbey Road has a bit of a range musically and thematically. There is perhaps nothing as jarring as “Revolution No. 9” followed by “Good Night,” but “Octopus’s Garden” followed by “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” indicates to me that “Cold Turkey” would not have seemed completely out of place. Interesting comments. But I remember Cold Turkey being played a lot. Then again knee-jerk owned radio stations would ban most anything, including Melanie’s BRAND NEW KEY because they claimed it contained sexual overtones (a simple song about roller skating.) It nevertheless shot to No.

1.“Many people blamed the Beatles for the ever increasing drug scene in 1969”What I mainly remember was a political campaign by Nixon, with Spiro Agnew attacking the Beatles for “spreading drugs.” It was nonsense, of course and likely meant to counter John’s anti war influence. The Beatles never promoted drug use even though some of Lennon’s song may have been so influenced. Agnew though cited unsubstantiated rumors encircling “intentional drug songs” like Lucy in the Sky, etc., which of course wasn’t.

Lying hypocrite that he was, Agnew was later charged with extortion, tax fraud, bribery and conspiracy, and was disbarred and resigned in disgrace. Far as I know it never affected Beatle record sales. If anything sales increased (Abbey road and Let It Be out sold earlier albums.). I’ll be honest The White Album is my least favorite. There are songs that I love but many I really hate.

I don’t have the original Let It Be but I do love the Naked version. From everything I had read about the original, I hadn’t planned on buying it, thinking it would be a waste of money. But naked is really good, though I agree that Get Back sounded really clipped. I think the added Fly on the Wall was intended to bridge the the gap between a cleaner album and one with studio chatter. Just my opinion. I wish the album would have been released as originaly intended!

Produced by Glyn Johns and titled Get Back with an album cover that mimiced their first release Please Please me it featured the songs “Teddy Boy”, a jam called “Rocker”, “Save the Last Dance” (by the Drifters), a 5 min. Version of “Dig It” and “Don’t Let Me Down”. The best part about LITN is that it includes “Don’t Let Me Down” which was Lennon’s best composition for the sessions!I also wish that The Beatles themselves would have included more of George’s songs on ever album possible. I mean for this one we missed out on hearing “Hear Me Lord” and “All Things Must Pass” as done by The Beatles(two tracks off of another fine album over-produced by Spector!).

I think it’s clear the Let It Be Naked is far superior to LIB. I’ve been comparing the songs on LIB with the Naked versions and the rumors of the superiority of Naked are greatly exaggerated. The albums are just different.The clean version of “Across the Universe” is lovely, a gem. But the heavily processed AtU is emotionally powerful in a different way. Lennon’s voice mixed with those strings, maybe run through a synth, is other-worldy and beautiful.It’s nice to hear Paul’s vocals out front on “Let it Be”, but they took out the best part of the song – Harrison’s edgy guitar break in the middle.

Plus the gospel organ is mostly gone.I don’t like “The Long and Winding Road” sung by anybody, but I don’t find the Naked version at all pleasing. Again, it’s nice to hear the vocal more distinct. But listen to some of those cheesy electric piano fills. Give me back the strings. Naked “Long and Winding” sounds like an early demo.If you listen to “Two of Us” side by side, they are both pleasing.

The old version with the vocals mixed more in the back gives the song a more haunting quality. Both versions are beautiful in slightly different ways. Perhaps you are right about the “original concept.” Yet Phil Spector’s concept is just as effective to my ears. If I had to choose, I would take the original LIB to the desert island. The idea of including the chatter and throw-away ditties gave the orignal album life and spontanaity.Its great to have both mixes. I am nerdy and had to splice my own “Let it Be” song together.

The first half of the Naked version is clearly superior to my ears. But then the Spector instrumental mix starting halfway through the song gives the song its punch. Yes and in fairness to Phil Spector, here’s what Peter Doggett, author of the excellent ‘You Never Give Me Your Money’ biog had to say about Spector and ‘Let It Be’:“It was Klein who suggested that Phil Spector, who had just produced John Lennon’s ‘Instant Karma’ single in magnificent style, should be asked to go back through the January 1969 tapes, and assemble a suitable soundtrack album for the movie. Despite what you’ve read elsewhere, all four Beatles authorised that decision.Spector set to work, mixing here, snipping tape there, and ultimately recruiting both Ringo Starr and an orchestra to work on several tracks – including McCartney’s song, ‘The Long And Winding Road’. Why wasn’t Paul there at the session? Because both he and John were so sick of the project that they had agreed to let George and Ringo supervise what Spector was doing.

So it’s true that Paul McCartney didn’t know what Phil Spector was planning to do to ‘The Long And Winding Road’ (i.e. Add an orchestra and choir); but only because he had chosen not to get involved.When Spector’s work was done, he rapidly assembled his mix of the Let It Be album, cut four acetate copies of the LP, and sent one apiece to each of the Beatles for their approval. The four musicians liaised with each other, and approved Spector’s work. Only two weeks later, when the presses were already rolling, did Paul suddenly wake up and think, “Hang on a minute, I want to make some changes”. But by then it was too late.During the research for my book, I came across the original letter that Spector sent to the four Beatles. Rather than the authoritarian rant I was expecting, his note turned out to be extremely friendly.

“If there is anything you’d like done to the album, let me know and I’ll be glad to help”, he wrote. “Naturally little things are easy to change, big things might be a problem. If you wish, please call me about anything regarding the album tonight.” That’s definitely the voice of compromise, rather than a control freak.The schedule was tight because the film was imminent – and at that point we enter another saga, about the scheduling of Let It Be and the McCartney solo album, which aroused an argument that in turn provoked Paul to send out his famous ‘interview’ to the press suggesting that he was leaving the Beatles.

But that’s another issue. Oh, so that is why in response to a comment made by Spector that his so-called superior producing skills is what drove Wilson to insanity, Wilson stated that not only was it not true, but that he had surpassed Spector with Pet Sounds alone. If anyone is more insane than the other it is Spector, who is horribly overrated to be honest. I give credit where credit is due in respect to some of his earlier productions, but by the time of Let it Be, he was well past his prime. Quite a bit of his best work has had to be remastered due to the muddiness that the Wall of Sound produced, Wilson did the same thing (with one good ear by the way) without saturating the master to the point of being near impossible to listen to. The “Let It Be” version of this song was the first song ever to make me cry as a kid (I think I was about 7 and was overwhelmed when I first heard the line ‘crying for the day’, which still makes me well up even to type it!)But when I heard the ‘Naked’ version I was surprised that this effect didn’t occur and I think it may have been a composite of the line and Phil Spector’s histrionics.For this reason, I prefer ‘Naked’.

It has a melancholy quietness that probably accurately represents McCartney’s when writing it. The overwrought emotionality of the Spector version is very impressive and produced their last US Number One, but it’s not ‘art’. No one on any Beatles forum or in any article I’ve seen has commented on the screw-up the LIBN engineers made of the I Me Mine edit. It is NOT a recreation of Spector’s idea: Spector placed the edit before the final line of the second verse, meaning that each verse had different lyrics and that the final line, “All through your life ” only occurred once, at the song’s close. The engineers made the cut directly after this line, meaning that on LIBN the lyric appears twice and that verses 2 & 3 have identical lyrics.George Harrison thoroughly approved of Spector’s work on this song, and the LIBN project was only begun after Harrison’s death. It seems churlish to suppose that Paul was so busy trying to rewrite history concerning his own songs that he didn’t pay due care and attention to his friend’s legacy; but given that he had final approval, and can’t have been listening properly not to have noticed such a glaring error, that is what I supposed at the time.

Years later, though, I’m still puzzled as to why I’ve not seen this error pointed out by anyone else.Disregarding the fact that I far prefer Spector’s mix (listen to the rising snare drum in Two Of Us, or the sonic boom of guitars in I’ve Got A Feeling – artistic touches absent from what amounts to no more than highly competent engineers’ mixes on LIBN), the error in recreating I Me Mine killed the “new” album for me instantly, as soon as I heard it. You have to ask, why recreate a Spector edit in the first place? You can’t present something as “de-Spectorised” if you’re happy to cherry-pick the ideas you agree with. The project may have been realised after his death George Harrison was the first one to mention a new ‘Let it Be’ project back in 1996 (see DVD 5 of ‘Anthology’) and he does so in the same breath as mentioning a ‘Magical Mystery Tour’ project so Apple clearly had a long term schedule organised and Derek Taylor around the same time said that he’d seen a restored ‘Let It Be’ movie. Although everyone likes to follow witless tabloids and other journalist fantasies, Apple is a complex web of rights issues and agreement issues that was still thawing out from total deep freeze up to the early 90’s. If George hadn’t liked this idea, it wouldn’t have got done.

The real McCartney pet projects like issuing ‘Carnival of Light’ were vetoed before his death and remain vetoed so any ‘Bastard McCartney’ fantasies are, as ever, entirely the property of their proposers. Both versions showcase moments of the Beates “as nature intended”, an organic bare-bones solid rock band with great front line vocalists who can deliver the goods live.

I wish they did more of this on Abbey Road. John obviously kept the stripped down approach for his solo lp later.George wanted the Beatles to be more like The Band and it was his idea to use Billy Preston and I think listening to the lighter moments of fun in their chatter on the fly on the wall bonus cd, they were diggin’ it for awhile. Great sound on the LIBN thanks to pro tools huh? I always wondered why nobody ever seems to notice or comment how out of tune Johns guitar is for a few of the songs on this record. Dig A Pony, I’ve Got A Feeling, One After 909 and Don’t Let Me Down.It just occurred to me. It’s basically everything he used the casino on too, “Get Back” sounded so nice cause he didn’t play any full chords on that one. Just lead bits and power chords.

The art of public speaking lucas pdf. George’s tele played the rhythm and George bothered to tune. HeheI’ve never played my casino in the wind and cold outside. Lol I bet that’ll do it. But “Let It Be Naked’ was a golden opportunity to improve it. They managed to use George Harrisons solo for “Let It Be” from a totally different take. And they admitted to pitch shifting a few off vocal notes.

The Anthology saw that happening a few times where stuff from one take was mixed with another. It can be done. So why not fix that outta tune casino a bit and maybe lower it in volume? Or find a different take ya know. I feel like Johns guitar ruins some of those performances.

They’re still awesome, but its irritating. Lol Don’t Let Me Down it’s especially terrible.John’s guitar was a huge factor for making half the record seem so sloppy.That’s what happens when you kick George Martin out lol.

He probably woulda caught it and be like. “wtf John, tune your damn guitar”. Lol But ya know. In a classy Londoner way.

I’m going to be an old curmudgeon here and state that of all the versions of Let It Be (the song) the best Harrison solo is the single version. I really don’t like the others. I’m also going to vote for the Anthology 3 version of TLAWR despite Paul clearly deciding he wasn’t going to keep the vocal.Something no one has mentioned here is Ian MacDonald’s claim (pp 339) that Lennon sabotaged TLAWR by playing bass badly on it. LIBN version is clearly better bass-wise, but MacDonald suggests that there was a collaboration to “cover-up” the “bad bits”. He refers to the Anthology 3 version, which is a bit more than a “demo” but hardly the backing-track. The Naked version of Long and Winding Road, in my opinion, is superior because the bridge finally makes sense musically.

I’ve never really cared for the Spector version because every time it came to the bridge I thought the bridge fell flat, and I’d long blamed McCartney for being a lazy songwriter toward the end. Spector took something that made sense in its original form and shoe-horned it into his own vision, where it really felt crammed in there. Across the Universe is also finally listenable on the Naked version. Amazed at the comment section here, not only does it span eight years of opinions but also the passion in many of these opinions. A joy to read. Well, Naked was disapointing, and it desen’t really make much sense. A release of the Let It Be film with accompaning song track, like with the reelease of Yellow Submarine would have been apt.

Getting the tracks stright from the film takes. Also a release of the Glyn Johns 2nd Get Back album, cleaned up, would have made a lot of sense historically. Naked simply just isn’t either and thus a whole new third thing, which very few really asked for on Let It Be. I enjoy the Spector album. It even sounds better in my opinion, and, maybe it’s only nostalgia over the original, but the naked tracks really dosn’t add anything for me. Who said the movie was more important then a “30 year old mccartney grudge”?

Some douche nozzle, in a magazine? I scarcely heard any such response. Just that people were eager for the DVD as well, and disappointed that it never materialized.The only difference criticizers generally noticed was the lack of strings on the McCartney piano ballads.

Not how virtually every song is tightened up and mixed better. I would’ve gone the extra mile and done something about lennons out of tune guitar. Found it from another take or something. Particularly on the rockers, where he plays rhythm.I happen to think LIBN is vastly superior all around. My only minor complaint is the modern, frantic pace, of track progression. Leave a few bloody seconds between songs, like a classic rock album or something. Let it breath.

I’m on the list of loving the “.Naked” album. I hadn’t bothered listening to LIB in probably 25 years when this came out; I hated the mix and the overdubs that much.The only thing I wish the Abbey Road folks hadn’t done is progressively “phase” the tamboura on Across The Universe. It’s not a perfect recording, but just once it would have been great to hear it un-screwed-with. Just let the beauty of the melody and words come through with no distractions.As for the rest, they sound great – all the instruments and vocals come through clear. And no Spectorization of any of the songs.
