the original takes from "Let it be," how they where meant to be, without the Phil Spector orchestration and production should be interesting! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hm, yes. Old news. |
||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

i thought it was to be released next month? I cant see it on amazon.uk |

Yep, it's pretty cool... but not TOO cool. A better idea would be to start re-mixing and remastering all the albums like they did with the Yellow Submarine Songtrack. Much better mixes and sound. Plus, I've heard them all stripped down years ago and I loved Phil Spector's work on Let it Be anyway! Except for Across the Universe, I think he improved all the tracks. And the cover sucks. The people that make the decisions involving the best music of the 20th century are fucking clueless imbeciles. Can't accuse them of being too greedy though, they aren't greedy ENOUGH. |

yeah, inverted cover??? talk about cheap looking |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
? what is the cover? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

see the link posted in zeus' post (the very first post) |
||||||||

inverted is the wrong word, the original images have been turned into negatives, nice idea but they somehow managed to do the worst possible job of it. |

it's that lame grey background... it just throws the whole thing off. |

I heard Paul was removing some of John's stuff from the album and also placing his name before Lennon's in the credits 0_o |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Well they're taking Dig It off, which was an outtake from a John-led studio jam (a great one on bootleg!), so maybe that's what they meant... that's a GOOD thing. In fact, they're adding an awesome Lennon song in Don't Let Me Down. So John's actually getting some added firepower on this albums. Paul was recently pushing for a change in credits to the less hip McCartney-Lennon... ick. I hope not. But I think he and Yoko came to an agreement to keep it Lennon-McCartney. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
does it really matter whos name comes first? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hell yeah! Don't ask me why this matters, I'm not them, but can you imagine the size of these guys' egos? They must have reasons. No way would Lennon have this shit, he was adamant about the Lennon-coming-first when he was alive, but now that he's dead... now Paul suddenly wants to change it. Crayzee. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes imho for 2 reasons: 1. They made an agreement early on, for Paul to want to change that now John is dead seems a little sad, even though one might see his point, such as in Yesterday, but to change anything they may as well change it all which as I said, would be somewhat sad now the other party to the agreement is dead. 2. As Ophecks sort of said, Lennon-McCartney just sounds better :P |

well... paul WAS the bigger genius behind the beatles... :D |
||||||||

Hmm but wasn't Let It Be supposed to partly be a "back to the roots" enterprise? Seems to me that losing those smaltzy strings is in that spirit and surely Dig It would still fit in..? I always liked those odd little short diversions on albums, just look at BoC.. And I thought Don't Let Me Down was on the original release..? |

not even funny even as a joke |
||||||||
|

its not a joke :-P but lets not get into it! |

YOU are the fool on the hill |

i think it's retarded to even debate who was more of a genius. just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their combined efforts. |
||||||||

Ringo > John + Paul + George When Paul dies, Ringo will finally be allowed to come out and admit that he wrote almost everything. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Heh and change the credits from Lennon-McCartney to Starr |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then he'll be haunted by beatle zombies who will eat his cats and draw bloody pictures on the walls with their fingers. |

i don't think this album is interesting... the non-spector versions are already available on bootlegs ("the long and winding road" on anthology 3) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Exactly, it seems pretty pointless... I can think of a million things they could do that would a lot more interesting and profitable. I like the bonus disc idea, but it's not long and I've probably heard it all already anyway. I'm getting it mainly for the booklet, and the cleaned up sound. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, for some of us who haven't heard it, it probably deserves a proper rlease. plus, i'm sure it sounds alot better than the bootlegs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's a shame that dig it is not included on the new album. I really like that track, though i know it's one of john's weakest songs |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
someone should squash those crusty olde bugs already... |
