    The same thing I have against Blade Runner, Director's Cut -- there's just something not right about it.

    I'll agree with DC...

    ...the original album was mixed with all the participants present, therefore it should be considered in toto...You can strip it down after the fact, slice it, dice it or turn it into background audio for Cirque du Soleil (BTW GM and son are doing just that), but IMHO the original intent (flawed or otherwise) is the one that should be judged...

    Hello, I'm a misanthrope...don't ask me why, just take a good look around.

    "Men would rather believe than know" -Sociobiology: The New Synthesis by Edward O. Wilson

    "The great masses of the people...will more easily fall victims to a great lie than to a small one" -Adolph Hitler

    "We are never deceived, we deceive ourselves" -Goethe

    If you repeat a lie often enough, some will believe it to be the truth...

    I think there's some confusion about this record.

    The original intent was never released. That's the Glyn Johns mix I have that was done for George Martin. When McCartney, Harrison & Starr heard it they thought the album sucked so bad they didn't want it released. So it was shelved. Then they did Abbey Road almost immediately. After that, Lennon convinced Harrison & Starr to let Specter screw up Let It Be even more. That was done without the knowledge of McCartney and almost surely with little input from Harrison & Starr. So, the record you're talking about, the first release of the album, was not mixed down with all the participants presents nor was it given the unanimous thumbs up that was given to all previous Beatles releases.

    It's a failed, posthumously released project in every way. I used to think of it in terms of what Douglas did to Hendrix on Midnight Lightning and Crash Landing but that's probably an exaggeration.

    I still like "I've Got A Feeling".

    Yes, me too...'naked' is just a state of being disrobed, but 'nekkid' means the same while implying intent...its just naughtier

    the beatles get a strong yes from me,i have always been a fan,but i am in my late forties so i grew up listening to them.They have been a great influence on pop and rock music ever since.A fact i was not aware of until recently is that they produced only about 10 hours of recorded music.I have about 10 cd's and enjoy them all,White Album is my favorite however.
    We can only wonder what they would have produced had they lasted another 8-10 years,alas we will never know.

    It was basically a way for Lennon to screw over McCartney and try to get him to push back the release of McCartney. Real stupid divorce stuff.
