Feeling Naked



Feeling a little naked this Monday Morning and thought I would enjoy The Beatles Let It Be Album as it was intended to be and not after the murderous Phil Spector got a hold of it and added his wall of sound. The "Long & Winding Road" was one of my least favorite songs (don't get me wrong that still puts it way higher than most music out there). When they removed all the backing orchestra and extras sounds that Phil likes to do, it quickly became a better song, the way it was supposed to be released. So we thank Ringo for getting the ball rolling on re-releasing it a few years back as Let It Be...Naked. "Across The Universe": below is also on Let It Be Naked, along with the Anthology albums. It is one of the most pure John Lennon recordings out there, during this ever changing time of his life. Again this version with out all of Spectors backings is 100% better and while some like the birds and shit, I don't. I like John and a Guitar singing from the heart.
