Let It Be



Let It Be was originally produced by Phil Spector ( the one responsible for the reverb on most of John Lennon's vocal tracks ) It was the only Beatle Album released to the public with the characteristic red apple. As stated on the back of the album cover quote " this is a new phase BEATLES album. . . LET IT BE was that they performed live for many of the tracks; in comes the warmth and the freshness of a live performance; as reproduced for disc by Phil Spector. I don't know about any of the other Beatle fans throughout the world, but this Let It Be was electronically trashed by Phil Spector. All you have to do is listen to Let It Be. . . Naked, and that's the album that should have been originally released as a live studio album. The album with the Red Apple is merely the sound track for the concert they gave on top of what was the Apple Boutique. There wasn't any warmth or spontaneity; it was a live recording that was electronically remastered.If you haven't listened to Let It Be. . .Naked, you don't know what your missing.
