Never heard Let It Be like this before

A must for Beatles fans. This was recommended by an audiophile during a discussion of high quality recordings. Cleanest Beatles CD I have ever heard. The more you turn it up the better it gets. Just no distortion at all. GREAT BUY!

I Always Hated Let It Be... and then....

I think the reason a lot of people are ticked off at this album is because they assumed "Naked" would mean an acoustic album, much like a "Beatles Unplugged."

This isn't what Paul and Mr. Martin were trying to do. They were doing their best to make Let It Be a respectable album, and they did an amazing job.

The tracks sound very clear and concise, as if the Beatles were making an actual album,not letting Spector salvage an atrocious recording session.

Buy this instead of the original. It's far better. The songs no longer sound dated. On the contrary, they sound practically eternal.

The Beatles

I throughly enjoy this music. It's much better without all the stuff Phil Specter added.

The "King Lear" of Beatles records

I bought the original "Let It Be--Naked" as a teenager in 1969: a vinyl LP bootlegged from the "Let It Be" sessions, in a plain white sleeve with the words "Kum Back" stamped in smudgy blue ink aslant the cover. No masses of sobbing violins, no plaintive French horns.

And what struck me with increasing happy force across the years and dozens of listens was what a wonderful, wondrous live band the Beatles were: by this time, they truly were the other side of each others' heartbeat. Each had certainly become virtuosic in his own right-- Ringo on drums, McCartney on bass (one can't praise enough), Lennon on rhythm and Harrison (usually) on lead guitar, but virtuosos together, grown of what it took to make Beatles music together through all those years and changes. They're recorded here as a live ensemble, just like up on on that fabled Savile Row rooftop, and God, they play with a brilliant loose-but-so-tight jostling grooviness that can just take the breath away. There never was before and never again will be a rock band quite this good.

One has to tip the hat to Billy Preston, whose tasty chops on organ are just about a match for the Fab Four's.

I know all about Lennon's sniping about the decay of the Beatles' group playing in the post-touring years, and of course they often quarreled during these sessions.

Just listen.

It helps that the band went into this project looking for a groove; everybody, especially Lennon and McCartney in their best numbers, seems to be after a sort of Zen-simple deep-groove soulfuness. 'Get Back,'
'Dig a Pony,' 'I've Got a Feeling.' Yes, the "Let It Be" project was (as McCartney has said) a return to roots after all the high '60s psychedelic ambitiousness, but it's an old masters' return: deep, simple, moving (and funky!) in the best numbers. And as for the less than best ones ('Long and Winding Road', indeed)--well, Zen attainment is not about always hitting the target.

There are many different great Beatles records, and "Let It Be--Naked" is one of them.
