London---A new version of the Beatles' album "Let It Be" will be released in November,the group's company Apple Corps announced Thursday. "Let It Be...Naked" strips the album of Phil Spector's lavish production effects,returning to Sir Paul McCartney's original idea for the recording. "This is the noise we made in the studio",McCartney said of the new version."It's exactly as it was in the room.You're right there now". "Let It Be...Naked" mostly keeps the same track listing as the original album,which featured songs "Let It Be","The Long and Winding Road","Get Back" and "Across The Universe". Background dialogue,"Dig It" and "Maggie Mae" have been taken off the album,and "Don't Let Me Down" has been added,Apple Corps said. Most of "Let It Be" was recorded in 1969 for an album that was to have been called "Get Back",showing the Beatles returning to their roots as a four-piece rock n' roll band.But the group was splitting up and the album was abandoned. Spector was later brought in to convert hundreds of hours of tape into an album renamed "Let It Be" which was released in 1970. "Let It Be...Naked" is to be released by EMI Records on Nov.17. (Associated Press) i heard about this a year and a half ago. it's just now coming out? anyway, i'd like to hear it. but the whole idea makes me nervous. even if the released version isn't what was originally intended, it's the "real" one the people have known for 33 years. i hope it's good.  | |

I'm talking 'bout the Stones going into Muddy Waters, Tampa Red, Willie Dixon and Keith Richards copping licks off Buddy Guy and Otis Rush, on the West-side,as well as Chuck and Bo. Don't know anything about Little Richard ever tying to sign these bands (maybe so, but Little Richard is known to over-embellish the facts), but the Vee-Jay thing got hi-jacked at the very last minute cuz Hollywood-based Capitol records was able to offer the Beatles a movie connection. And so it went... Props to you on your Post.I know those Cat splus Howlin Wolf&John Lee Hooker among others inspired&Influenced Keith Richards Palying.but I was just pointing out that to match this thread that Beatles&Rolling Stones were Influenced by the R&B side of Music as well.when I saw the clip of Justin Timberlake on stage with Mick Jagger&the Stones it took me back to the Ed Sullivan Show of a Young Jagger trying His Best James Brown take&now you fast forward with Timberlake doing His Best take on Michael Jackson.Little Richard went over to Europe during a Tour or something&had access to both Groups but He wasn't feeling them at the time or something along those lines.Peace Ya ain't seeing my point. White or Brit bands that were more r&b-influenced tend to be more pop-sounding, while those that took directly from the blues had a harder rock sound. That's the major aesthetic difference between the Stones and Beatles. mistermaxxx | |
