I actually prefer the new stripped down versions. I never was a fan of the Phil Spector wall of sound and found those strings very overdone.

I think most of us like the songs with all the background because thats how we have heard them for the last 40 years. Had we been listening to the stripped down versions for the same amount of time we probably would hate it if they "added" background music now. The "new" versions are the way they were written and meant to be heard. Although i like the "originals" better myself.

Erm... One of the reasons McCartney left the Beatles (and effectively imploded the band in the process) was because of Phil Spector's mutilation of the Let it Be-sessions, and The Long and Winding Road in particular. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...ons/icon37.gif

<font color = “limegreen” > Having just read all thier biogs this year it was safe to say that the beatles where finished during the making of the album. Mcartney was a control freak *and why not* on his records, and to just leave the mixing to Lennon and Spector was a sure sign that he had finished with the band.
For many years the only beatle era song that Mcartney would regularly play live was "The long and winding road" in his own style, an attempt perhaps to set the record (ha!)straight. The "let it be" album is one of the few I do not have, My favourite is, by far, the "white album" Which is your favourite. </font> |
<font color = lightgreen>The stripped-down version is much better. [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img]
My votes for favorite albums: Meet the Beatles from their early period--recorded in only one take! Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band from their middle period Abbey Road from their late period</font> |
But listen to the "The Long And Winding Road" ,you cant say it is better stripped down i cant belive you mean that!!
