Customer Ratings & Reviews

I like the songs, and there are subtle differences, but not huge. I enjoy the version of "Across the Universe".

The Let It Be - Naked CD is excellent and actually sounds like a finished album. Though I've always loved the original Let It Be record, it seemed to have a scattered feel to it, and even John Lennon said so regarding the material on it. But these many years later, Paul McCartney has done a great job redoing the Let It Be concept and creating a coherent recording without the Phil Spector "wall of sound." And since these sessions came from the Get Back project, which was intended to be the Beatles together as a functioning band again without frills, it seems more true to the original intent.

I always thought the original album was overproduced - too much orchestra, too much "wall of sound" that was quite popular then. This re-take stripped off all the extra sounds and we get a more honest and intimate sound. In some cases this greatly improved the song such as on "Across the Universe" where I can hear nuances on the vocals. In other cases such on "The Long and Winding Road" this downgraded the song to sounding like a demo. Definitely try to listen to the album before buying since your musical tastes may prefer the original recording over this "naked" version. Overall, I liked this "naked" version better.

These songs have the same songs that are on Let it be, but they are the single releases. I like the differences. Let it be has a different guitar solo, different bass in songs etc. This album is truly spectacular. I highly recommend you get it!
