I could be wrong but I don't think Let It Be Naked has been mentioned on this thread, it's a remixed and remastered version of Let It Be and it was released in 2003. To cut a long story short its been totally de-Phil Spectorised, and the track listing is slightly different. A much better album that the original release in 1970, if you've got a spare 36 minutes give it a listen and see what you think.

I disagree.
I think the Let it Be...Naked album has any character. I find it to be dull. The original album has the raw, live album type feel, and the studio chatter in between songs gives it added character.
For the most part, stripping away Spector's stuff makes little to no difference.."One After 909", "For You Blue", and "Two of Us" are more or less the same
I would argue that songs like Dig a Pony, I Me Mine, Don't Let Me Down, and I've Got a Feeling worked better in their raw, gritty album versions..etc
The only example of a song being comparable to the original imo is "Across the Universe"
When you get down to it, the
only reason this album even exists, is so Paul could make it clear (again) that he hated what Spector did to "The Long and Winding Road" and "Let it Be"..which again is dumb, because Paul already got his "preferred" version out on Anthology 3.
It's a Beatles.."album" of sorts, so of course the songs are all great, but i find
Naked rather useless, dull, and boring.
