Brad Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I've just ordered the Naked Let it Be. Interested to see how it really should sound better than that Phil Spector mishmash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my ears Let It Be - Naked sounds awful, as if a lot (and I mean a lot) of noise reduction was applied. It sounds dead as a dodo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 is it an Emerick re-master? That's how he botched a lot of the Anthology, with No-Noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Didn't mean to ignite a controversy but as far as sound goes, I'm a bit more tolerant, especially if it's something that I would not be able to hear otherwise. As far as whether the disc itself is disappointing, I guess that's something I'll have to judge myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THe thing about Let it be Naked that is not so obvious until you buy it - is that this is not just Let it Be stripped of the Spector added sounds - these are in fact different takes of the tunes in several cases - so it's not just naked - it's different and whether you prefer the Naked versions is up to you. I would have preferred that the Spectored versions would have been stripped - but that's not what happened. The sound, on the other hand, is so much better than any version of LIB out now.

You're right about the Naked version being a totally different animal - and in my opinion not a good one at that - but I disagree with you 100% about the sound; to my ears it's atrocious, with all the life sucked out of the music, and certainly not better than the "regular" Let It Be.

My mom's parents were living in Canton at the time, and my parents were staying there; my dad had just graduated from Swarthmore and was a month away from starting at Union Seminary in NYC. I spent just my first few months in Canton and then two years in NYC and then nine years in Philadelphia, where my dad had his first church.

Man with the Golden Arm Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Ahh, so you had a well rounded development. Me - Canton till I could leave! Thread drift --- katty corner to the Palace was old McKinley High - The O'Jays began by singing atop the tables during lunch time (so it goes).

AllenLowe Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 probably the best way to hear Let It Be without all the ex-Spectorating is to watch the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjarrell Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I've never had a problem with Naked, Brad. I'm going to go listen now to see if I haven't been playing close enough attention. But I haven't been offended by it yet, FWIW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 The AMG review gives a full explanation of the Naked CD, how it's not really the same as the original Let it Be but quite different. The reviewer seems to justify it on the premise that the Let it Be that was issued wasn't exactly a finished album either, just caught in the crosshairs of the Beatles death struggle then going on. In that sense Abbey Road, as well as the White Album, are really incomplete albums as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
