LET IT BE...NAKED contains a FLY ON THE WALL bonus disc including song rehearsals and conversation snatches.

Includes liner notes by Kevin Howlett and interview excerpts with The Beatles

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.

from the original LET IT BE book.

Additional personnel: Billy Preston (keyboards).Rolling Stone (12/11/03, p.116) - Ranked #86 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "...Some of the strongest rockers and most poignant ballads in their entire canon..."
Rolling Stone (12/11/03, p.207) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...It's nice to have the sparer rendition of 'Across the Universe' that Lennon recorded, and the sonic improvements to the album as a whole are undeniable..."
Entertainment Weekly (10/12/01, p.36) - Ranked #45 in EW's "100 Best Movie Soundtracks" - "...Beautifully explores a nostalgia for simpler times - theirs 'and' ours..."
Entertainment Weekly (11/21/03, pp.81-2) - "...Some of these changes are for the better. The sonic clarity is welcome and the revamped album concludes, as the original should have, with the title track, one of the most moving songs McCartney ever wrote..." - Rating: B+
Mojo (Publisher) (12/03, p.134) - 5 stars out of 5 - "[T]he cleaning up, editing and re-sequencing has brought out a warmth and depth of colour we've not heard before..."

5 stars Better than ever
This is truly the way it should have been released, originally, minus all the strings and production effects. This is just pure Beatles (in the studio), sweet and true. Furthermore...the remastering is EXCELLENT!!!! I'd buy the entire Beatles collection (again) if they could improve all of it the way they cleaned this one up! Incredible!

5 stars A must Have for Every Beatle fan
The sound quality of this cd is awesome. I compared it to the orginal and there is a major upgrade in the sound quality.I listened to this on a high end Meridan/Revel system and It was heaven here on earth. To here a recording of this age to be remastered into a master piece is great. Bring on more remasters of this caliaber! The music speaks for itself of course.

4 stars Pudo haber sido mejor
Sí, algunas de las canciones no son las mismas versiones sin los arreglos de Spector. Pero son los Beatles, y el disco extra Fly on the wall hace que la inversion valga la pena. El punto mas grande en contra es la brevedad del tiempo total de la musica. Yo, por mi parte, sigo esperando que algun dia se decidan a edotar el disco grabado en el Hollywood Bowl. ¿Para cuando?
