But really, the Spector version wasn't all that bad, and I'd still take his production over the dull gloss heard throughout this revisionist collection. Attractively packaged on vinyl, though...

Finally, someone who agrees with me :P
I needed comfort of love just to get me some piece of mind.. wo-oh

Then I suppose you haven't heard "Across the Universe" yet?? :lol: Funnily enough, lots of people (including yours truly) agree that this is the song which most benefitted from the "stripping" - even though John was in favour of Spector and Paul was not.
It's the start of a journey
To a much better place
And this wasn't bad
So a much better place
Would have to be special...

Agree only 50% - for me it's such a great song, I like both versions alike. I think it was Kyle who once said that it is a song which lends itself to the "Spector wall of sound" and I would subscribe to that. Both versions are great for me. But in the case of "Across the Universe" - once having heard the "despectorized" version, I don't even want to hear the other one again because the "naked" version to me is infinitely superior - but everyone has their own tastes...

I feel the same way about LAWR, without question. Everytime the radio plays the Spectorized version, I switch stations. The Naked version was the way macca wanted it and it's so pure and beautiful and far superior.

I think past masters vol. 2 has the best version of "Across the universe".
