> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by capacitor \* > \*\*The title of the proposed CD is awful: “Let it Be…Naked”. \*\* Yeah, it is. It’s AWFUL. If I’d been naming it, I’d have just gone with Get Back (the original title of the project that became Let It Be). Not only a good title, and appropriate, given the parenthetical note above, but pretty appropriate, also, for what this is - the songs are getting back to what they were supposed to be. ---

I kind of wish they’d release the full version of _Dig It_ from the bootleg. Better than the short version on the album. _Long and Winding Road_ without strings is far superior - I was forced to listen to AM radio the summer it was #1, heard its sappy strings 100 times, and am quite averse to it. It is the only Beatles song I skip on CD. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Mudshark \* > \*\*Will you still be able to buy the original Spectorized version of _Let It Be_? \*\* I’m sure they’ll keep the original in print. After all, you can still get the original version of _Yellow Submarine_, even though the _Yellow Submarine Songtrack_ CD, which contains superior mixes of all the Beatles material from the original, could easily have replaced it. (I, for one, actually do get the urge to listen to the George Martin half of the original album every once in a great while.) And I also think that, far from removing “Dig It,” they should have included the full-length take. IIRC, it went on for something like 12 minutes in the studio. ---

“Oh Dirty Maggie Mae. They have taken her away.” How ironic that that they actually have now taken her away. ---

I despise “The Long and Winding Road” on _Let it Be_–and I think it’s a wonderful song. I usually listen to Paul’s live version on _Wings Over America_–it’s sooooo much better without the schmaltz (women’s chorus–ewwww). I can’t WAIT for this. And I’ll miss “Maggie Mae.” Oh well. And I’m with **Tengu** : they should just call it _Get Back._ * * * (Oh, and our new dryer has a light in it. So the clothes don’t get scared while they tumble around in the hot.) – **Rue DeDay** ---

The ones who do, however, have enough class NOT to post in, what is obviously, a thread for those who do like them. ---

Weren’t they going to release some of those tracks from the tapes that were recently recovered from some robber? I heard there were several songs that hadn’t been released in those tapes. ---

Some from the Let It Be sessions and some, IIRC, were from the White Album sessions. It’s possible this would appear later. I doubt I’ll live to see it all released. 😃 I’ve heard quite a lot of Beatle bootlegs over the years and have a friend who has a huge collection. I’m sure that whatever is gonna appear on LIB…N is there somewhere. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/beatles-let-it-be-to-be-re-released-in-november/202759.md?page=1)
