For starters, the fragments "Dig It" and "Maggie May" have been dropped in favor of "Don't Let Me Down," a full-fledged song that was played on the rooftop and should have been included on the original album. My only major beef with the Spector album was how overproduced and maudlin "The Long And Winding Road" sounds. This was also McCartney's main objection, and the Naked version takes care of that problem, presenting the song in a straightforward manner. Rather than sounding overblown, it actually sounds kind of humble, and I am no longer tempted to skip over it. "Across The Universe" also benefits significantly from the lack of embellishments. While I've always thought Phil Spector's version was beautiful, I now realize that his post production was unnecessary. The song is even better in this stripped-down version, with just John Lennon's voice and guitar and a few subtle echo effects. "I Me Mine" is another song that Spector altered substantially, lengthening it and adding orchestration. Let It Be...Naked wisely maintains Spector's edit for length but drops the orchestration--the best of both worlds, although I do think this is one of the weaker songs on either version of the album. George Harrison's other song, "For You Blue," benefits from a more prominent acoustic rhythm guitar that provides backbone. Some of the other songs, such as "The One After 909" and "I've Got A Feeling," also sound a little punchier in these new mixes, for reasons I can't quite put my finger on yet.
I think the decision to drop the between-song banter was the right one. It was included on the original album mostly because it was meant to accompany the Let It Be film. It was fun in that context, but I don't need to hear it all over again. I also think the banter tends to get old after awhile. I don't need to hear John singing about "Sweet Loretta Fart" every single time I listen to the song "Get Back." The track sequence of Naked is perfect, with "Get Back" leading the charge and "Let It Be" bringing it all home at the end. I've always thought the original album sags a bit in the middle of side two, thanks mostly to the bad version of "The Long And Winding Road," but Naked has no such problems. The placement of George Harrison's "For You Blue" in the #3 spot was a bold move that somehow works, maybe because the song is so simple and happy, helping to set the tone for everything that follows. My only quibble with Let It Be...Naked is that I miss George's big, bombastic guitar solo on the title song. The solo on the Naked version sounds a bit wobbly to me. Maybe it will grow on me, but at any rate, it's a small price to pay for all of the obvious improvements. I'm pretty sure that from now on I'm going to be listening to the Naked version of Let It Be much more often than the original. I love John, but his enlistment of Phil Spector to produce the Let It Be album in 1970 was a misstep. Paul was right all along.
The songs are songs again, and while the album is not perfect, this remixed version by Paul McCartney brings the album much closer to perfection than the Phil Specter version. The opening and closing tracks ("Get Back" and "Let it Be") are put in the right place, and "The Long and Winding Road" is a revelation in its stripped-down beauty. "Don't Let me Down" is also a great listen, and one of the best changes that McCartney made to the original album. On the other hand, I might actually prefer Specter's mix of "Let it Be" (I dig the background harmonies and guitar solo). Also, I know "Across the Universe" a revered song, and there are some nice parts, but I'm not a fan of John Lennon's lyrical abilities generally (mainly because some of them sound like the silly abstract poems I used to write in college-- "bubblegum drops and cellophane lollipops" and that kind of stuff), and I can understand why some people say Lennon may have hidden a secret envy for McCartney's effortless ability to knock out tunes that were simply beautiful (which may account for why Lennon often criticized, or gave backhanded compliments to Paul's songs in later years). But, Lennon could still write good songs and by this time Paul could absolutely dazzle with his greatness as a songwriter. And just because McCartney's lyrics aren't obtuse doesn't mean they aren't deep and mature. In fact, I would say, even though Lennon was responsible for slightly more material on Let it Be, McCartney OWNS this album (and here I'm referring specifically to Sir Paul's remix of the album, not Phil Specter's over-produced original version) beginning, middle, and end with three of the greatest Beatles songs: "Get Back," "The Long and Winding Road" (a stunning song in its stripped-down mix, with a fantastic vocal performance), and "Let it Be," (could there possibly have been a better song to wrap up the odyssey of the Beatles's career?"
The musicianship is amazing, as usual, and it's great to see the lads take their ten years of maturation and apply it to writing amazing, stripped-down 4-piece (sometimes 5-piece) songs that could be played in a concert rather than being the artsy-farts of their previous few albums (not that I think farts are always bad). While some of their albums may not be my cup of tea, I respect the Beatles in all phases of their work. This particular album takes the best of their early song-writing prowess and combines it with the maturity of their outlook and growth as musicians. Moreover, McCartney's wholly justifiable remix of the album has turned it from a fine album into a great one.
On a down note, the extra disc adds little to the release. I could really only make out a few snippets of conversation.

Straight, no over dubs (no Phil Spector that is) sounds like a direct-to-disc recording(?)
Just loving it! And you will too!
