do you buy into the marketing scheme behind this record? like this is really how the beatles wanted it to sound? i saw a promo for it and they were talking about how strings waterd down the true soul within the songs... B.S.! *goes to buy anyway* |

Well, no, Paul has NEVER been happy about this album, he's always been pissed off at Phil Spector for ''ruining it'' and has been stating it publically for 35 years... particularly The Long and Winding Road. NEVER been satisfied. It's amazing this hasn't been attempted (emphasis on ATTEMPT) until now, it's been in demand by hardcore Beatles fans since 1970. Not a scam at all... if they wanted to scam us, they'd do it with an album like Pepper that would GUARANTEE sales. This isn't going to be a heavy hitter and isn't meant to be... it's for the fans and that's actually pretty gracious of them. It's about damn time they did something for real Beatles fans. Despite the good intentions, they still failed though! I'm scratching my head. It's not what the way it was intended AT ALL... things from different takes are flown in, solos rearranged, I even hear Ringo fixed a snare in one of the songs... it's not what the Get Back album should have been... it's more like a look at a classic album from a different perspective... a Spector-less look. Which automatically turns me off because Phil Spector is my favorite producer of all time and I love the work he did on every track except Across the Universe. The album is interesting and doesn't ruin anything, it's still a great listen and worthwhile to hear. But it's just so... pointless. Misses the mark completely. They need to remix and remaster the catalogue, starting with Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road to whet appetites, and then work their way up chronologically up the catalogue. On SACD format, with bonus tracks and fat booklets. Naked is a waste of time and is false advertisting... as good as it is. And is IS good, better in some places... Don't Let Me Down being included was a masterstroke. But I guess I'm in the minority that thinks LAWRoad isn't nearly as effective without the Wall of Sound. Across the Universe is the most interesting cut, but even that probably isn't the way the song was intended. There has and will NEVER b |

Across the Universe is the most interesting cut, but even that probably isn't the way the song was intended. There has and will NEVER be a definitive version of that great song. Weird. Let it Be > Let it Be Naked It's worth the money no matter who you are, but they could have spent their energy on a more useful project, for sure. |

pisses me off that some of the stupidest people are in charge of the some of the greatest art this world has ever seen. |

I totally agree. The CDs were mastered in the mid-80s under some bad conditions apparently and could do with a digital cleanup. The lack of information and special edition fan-type stuff on the cds is weird considering they are regularly acknowledged as some of the best music ever recorded. |

Good or not. I'm very suspicious that this has been released in the run up to christmas. Has McCartney run out of funds? But maybe thats just me being cynical. sorry. |

hes a billionaire, so i doubt it. anyway, don't be so cynical. as ophecks pointed out, this album has been in demand for the better part of thirty years. i heard it today, and i don't think it was done right at all, but it isn't some shrewd marketing to fatten mcartneys already huge bank account. |
