For all fans out there. Just a simple question.

Let It Be?
or
Let It Be...Naked?

I personally like Let It Be ...Naked.

Curious to see what Fender addicts think...

I know this is the way it was supposed to be , but when you have been listening to something for close to 40 years that is what sounds correct in my head, though you cannot go wrong either way. And it is just another great way to hear these songs as I always love alternate takes and out takes anyway and it was always a known fact the Beatles were not happy with what Spector had done.

I like Let it Be Naked. Not sure if it is the absence of the Spector stuff, or just being remastered, but everything sounds so crisp and you can really make out the different instruments.

Plus, if its how they wanted it, I can't argue with that!

Have yet to pick up the new remaster yet, though... Maybe that will complicate my opinion

Let it be - Naked
I also like the stripped down sound of it.

I like bits of both the original and naked Let It be.

The original had the blazing George solo in the title song that I prefer over the single or naked versions.

I like the naked version of Long and Winding Road better.

Maybe it's my stereo, but the guitars are mixed too low in some of the naked version songs such as Get back, I can barely hear the two guitar solos.

I prefer the naked version alltthat Spector"Wall of Sound"treatment takes away from the original instruments and vocals.Although I do agree Georges solo on the Spector version is nicer.
