Imagine being so GOAT that an album gets thrown together from

(Psssst.......Naked is better)

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as “the greatest or most significant or most influential” rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

Across the Universe is the only worthwhile thing here

Wrong

>>71491494
Agree.

>>71491469
that album is terrible tho

>>71491550
It's not tho

>>71491469
holy shit stop making these embarrassing threads you fucking beatlesfags

>>71491494
I agree. Though there are some points in Phil Spector's mix I like more, but I still don't get why he added all the little studio banter and put Dig It and Maggie Mae in there. Adding Don't Let Me Down on Naked was a great decision too, though.

You are fake news

Spector =trash, the Let it Be Naked version is 100% better. Phil even screwed All Things Must Pass in so many ways.

>>71491520
This.

People only rate this album so high because it's The Beatles, it's fucking awful.

>>71491592
Deal with it. We're taking back this board from the Scaruffi cancer.

>>71491469
Can we agree that the single version of Let It Be is better than both the album version and the Naked version?

>>71491494
The best is the Albums That Never Were mix

But young listeners now are getting into the Beatles because they made great music, not because they read crusty old critics
The beatles are still popular because they had something for everyone
They appealed to druggies because they took drugs and wrote songs like I am the Walrus
And they appeal to soppy romantic older folk because they made songs like Something

Agree, but thats what he does, he Spectorizes everything he touches leaving the original idea far behind. I think is unrespectful.

>the album cover is all of them separated
damn

>>71491494
No it's not, LIB Naked has too much noise reduction and compression that makes it sound like shit compared to the unpolished but charming warmth of the original

dude, that is nothing. how about this?

its fucking insanity. i like the acoustic version but id like an electric version that isn't going to fuck me in the eardrum.

How come George Martin didn't produce Let It Be/Get Back? I've never been able to find an explanation as to why Glyn Johns produced the original version of the album before it was scrapped until John got Spector to slam it into his wall of sound.

I prefer the naked version because it sounds better in the context of the previous albums. Listening to Abbey Road and then Let It Be is a huge drop in production quality, all of the songs on Abbey Road sound way ahead of their time while Let It Be is really dated sounding

Jesus christ

>>71493969
i think the idea was to originally have a "stripped down" sound and maybe they didn't think george martin was the best producer for the job.

>>71494315
>Let's go for a "stripped-down" sound.
>Indeed. Let's go for Phil Spector to produce it.
lmao

>>71495419
they only turned to phil spector after the whole thing had fallen apart. they had abandoned the stripped down idea by that point and just wanted something to release

>>71492212
The nice thing about hating Spector is that I don't feel bad in case he's a nice guy cuz he killed somebody.

>>The beatles are still popular because they had something for everyone

This isn't a good thing. It's the very definition of "broad." Another example of "broad" art is like, the TV show "Friends." Everyone has seen it, everyone has probably laughed at it or enjoyed it at some point, but people with taste in television wouldn't actually consider it "great" TV. Beatles are the music equivalent of the show "Friends."

>>71491674
When I heard the demo takes for this song with no reverb it blew me away. Sounds so much better
