At last revealed - The Beatles
album that has taken more than 30 years to finish, Let It
Be...Naked, just the bare sound of the band inside The Beatles.
Let It Be...Naked is the no frills, back-to-basics album
that The Beatles first set out to make back in 1969 - but
which was never released as they intended, the band back
to the bone.
Now, through the smart digital technology of Abbey Road
studios, the never-heard band's take of the original sessions
will be finally released worldwide by EMI Records November
17th (18th US)
Naked is Let It Be brought right up to now for the '1 Generation',
de-mixed and re-mixed, un-dubbed of orchestration, choirs
and effects and stripped-back to the raw to reveal The Beatles
simply as what they were very best at being - just a great
band.
"If we'd have had today's technology back then, it
would sound like this because this is the noise we made in
the studio", said Paul McCartney "It's all exactly
as it was in the room. You're right there now".
"When I first heard it, it was really uplifting. It
took you back again to the times when we were this band,
the Beatle band", said Ringo Starr.
When The Beatles first set out to make the album in 1969,
they intended to record an album that would be a return to
live performance of just the bare necessities of the band,
no studio effects or overdubbing of voices or instruments
would be allowed. However, caught in the turmoil of the break-up
of the band, the album was re-produced by Phil Spector and
never released as The Beatles had originally meant it to
sound. Until now.
Let It Be...Naked's track listing differs from the 1970
release; background dialogue, 'Dig It' and 'Maggie Mae' have
been taken off the album and 'Don't Let Me Down' has been
added to the running order, which now is as follows: Get
Back, Dig A Pony, For You Blue, The Long And Winding Road,
Two Of Us, I've Got A Feeling, One After 909, Don't Let Me
Down, I Me Mine, Across The Universe, Let It Be.
