All of the original albums sound sh!t. [/quote]

That's your opinion, no big deal...

[SieLiebtDich]

I think someone is full of it.......................

I knew this would happen.

I'm talking about the ancient mixes and the tape hiss thats apparently been given a whole track to itself. I'm in favour of a complete overhaul of the albums like the Yellow Submarine Songtrack. Lord those mixes sound sweet!

[Sadie4]

It's logical that as we go forward in time, the new technologies will better the tapes conditons... But we'll also lose the flavour, so to speak, of the old vynils and all that...

Not really... If you're a real fan you should have them both, but if you're just a casual fan just one of them will do...

[Indica]

Just thinking...the change of Vinyl to CD..although advancements were made...the Piracy of todays world is a real serious factor...
 Wonder if the Music-Industry fat cats would want to go back...

Just listening first time to LIBN. Listening to Don't Let Me Down and it sounds great. I been brought up on the old version but this is great. Also the extra harmonies and ad libs on this album are really heart warming to hear. Got my thumbs up at the mo. Need 2 listen more for full analysis. Nice 1 MAcca!!!!!

So What do people reckon. Has Let it Be Naked faded into obscurity now and will consigned forever to oblivion after whatever accompanies the new Let it Be film comes out?

Did people like it better than the original in the first place? Do people still listen to it? While I liked the idea of getting closer to the Glyn Johns versions of the Let it Be sessions, Naked didn’t really do that and ended up sounding a bit sterile and sanitised. Lots of modern digital editing and mixing seemed to be done. So it became neither fish nor fowl. Not a true rendering of the sessions a la Glyn Johns’ nor Spectorish but with improvements. It even took the various chatter off. I don’t mind some of the versions on there but I can’t say it’s an album I go to at all.

Also this is a good excuse to bump a really old thread

I never liked Naked.  I think i'm just so used to the normal LIB that I prefer it.  Naked was boring to my ears and shelved after only a listen or two and its never been pulled since.

[Moogmodule]

Yeah that’s pretty much me too.  Had a listen, didn’t make me want to replace my Let It Be CD and never really put it on again.  I’m interested to see what accompanies the new movie when it eventually comes out though.

[Bobber]

I don't play either album to be honest. I'm not too fond on either Let It Be or Naked.

Yeah, i'm with you Cor.  I never play LIB at all.

[Hello Goodbye]

I give it a listen on occasion.  I never bought Naked because I have The Alternate Let It Be (Pear)...

[Normandie]

Yeah, i'm with you Cor.  I never play LIB at all.

I thought I was alone in this. Good to hear that I'm not!

Agree.
Naked just has bits missing.
I probably play every 6 months or so.
I in a minority that actually likes this album 

[Moogmodule]

I don’t play LIb much either. But I rarely listen to any LP through now anyway. I’ve become a playlist guy 

[KelMar]

I feel like such an outcast (not to be confused with an OutKast).    I can’t say that I listen to Naked now, or even the fully clothed version really, but there was a time that I did prefer it. I can’t remember much about the rest of it but I still love the Naked version of The Long and Winding Road. That little lyric change kind of hits home with me.

[Loco Mo]

I like Spector's LIB.  I don't like how all the informal stuff was removed from Paul's updated version.  The original gives me more of the feeling of being there and listening in like a fly on the wall.
