I just picked up Let It Be...Naked yesterday and I just got down to today to listen to it. If you're clueless of what it is, it's an updated version of the Beatles's final LP, Let It Be (originally released in 1970), released in 2003. Granted, they've done a lot of stuff to it to make me mad. The only positive thing they really did was fix up The Long and Winding Road, which wasn't even that bad to begin with (although it's an intriguing new experience now) and add in dolby digital surround sound/digital remixes, but besides that, every song is now shorter, a lot of the tracks seem too sped up, they removed Dig It and Maggie Mae and replaced it with a sped up version of Don't Let Me Down, they removed Phil Specter's overdubs in I Me Mine and Across the Universe (which I very much liked), and they removed the dialogue throughout the album, and they changed the order of the songs. That means no more Get Back closing the album and no more John Lennon saying "I'd like to thank you and behalf of myself and the group. I hope we passed the audition". Granted, some of the additions are nice and there's a bonus disc I got with some outtakes of some of their recording sessions during the movie which I haven't gotten around to yet, but other than that, I'm sorry to say this, but the original LP is far superior, that is unless Paul or Ringo plan to re-release it once again with an entirely different take on this most controversial album.
Glasses are nothing once you get used to them. Hell, even I still use them without any problems. I actually kind of like them. As for the color blindness, I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm sure you can see just fine enough to get by.
[QUOTE="jetpower3"]Indeed. Trust me AK, you'll be hard-pressed to find someone more obsessed with the Beatles than I am this side of the internet. ak47lover
Dunno, I have a friend who's a pretty hardcore Beatles fan...
Can he name every single officially released Beatles song off the top of his head?
