Across the Universe: I like the Past Masters version best. I do like the girls' background vocals and the Beatles' backing vocals. But if I had to choose between LIB and Naked I'd go for LIB.

Let it be: I like the orchestra so I prefer it over Naked

I me mine: LIB version. Same story, love the orchestration.

Long and winding road: I think the orchestra adds so much more emotion to it.

Then I also prefer the LIB version of For ...]]> Tue, 02 Apr 2013 22:39:39 +0100 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/let-it-be-1/naked-for-you/page-3/#p69701 Let It Be http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/let-it-be-1/naked-for-you/page-3/#p69701

The only one of the Beatles that would prefer the original these days would have been John, but in my opinion he only liked Spector's style because John disliked his own voice so much and liked masking it.  I wish John had loved his voice for how beautiful it truly was.  

And I think it depends on when he was asked and his level of resentment towards Paul. It seems what happened to TLaWR was allowed to happen out of spite.

George I cant see getting beyond how shit the sessions were for him.

That leaves John and Paul and i'd go for a tie.

I very rarely listen to LIBN as i dont think its an improvement on Let It Be or adds anything to the recordings from that time period. There are a couple that are decent - One After 909 & Across The Universe - but for everything else i will go elsewhere.

And nice to see the bullshit continues with phrases like "free of added effects and vocal and instrumental overdubs" and "no other flourishes" (as in the itunes Notes. Sorry but there as just as many edits as Spector added plus there are also overdubs on Let It Be and i think For You Blue.

And don't forget the vocal fix on Don't Let Me Down, where they created a whole new overdub by flying in Lennon's vocal from another take. I have to admit to not listening to it that often. Give me the original every day, for all its ...]]> Tue, 02 Apr 2013 15:39:49 +0100 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/let-it-be-1/naked-for-you/page-3/#p69609 Let It Be http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/let-it-be-1/naked-for-you/page-3/#p69609 For me the worst thing about LIB...Naked are the songs made up of composite takes, which takes away a little from the spirit of the entire endeavor. Ironically I just listened to my CD of this album yesterday afternoon

I presume the extra audio is the 'Fly on the Wall' disc as originally released.

One thing I also like very much about naked is the fly on the wall disc which features very rare songs, child of nature and a get back with slide guitar!, all things must pass sung by all beatles, the all new Because I know you love me so and fancy my chances with you together with many early versions of let it be and abbey road songs whcih sound very good, and it's a good idea ...]]> Sat, 02 Jun 2012 21:18:15 +0100 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/let-it-be-1/naked-for-you/page-3/#p52076 Let It Be http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/let-it-be-1/naked-for-you/page-3/#p52076 Oh Thanks, the links helped me very much. I also wanted to say which version of which lib song my favourite is:
Two of Us: Naked, I like that it features no studio chatter
Dig A Pony: Anthology: I like the All I Want Is start
Across The Universe: Wildlife (Past Masters) I miss the girl's and beatles' backround vocals in any other version
I Me Mine: Anthology (I think the longer version on naked becomes a bit boring, and I don't like the orchestra of let it be)
Dig It: Let It Be (There is no other officially released ...]]> Wed, 18 Apr 2012 16:00:30 +0100
