The Beatles, even after breaking up many years ago, still shine brightly in the spotlight. The release of their greatest hits album “1” three years ago was extremely successful, proving that the Beatles are both very popular and respected in the music world. Now, the Beatles are back again with a newly revised version of their CD “Let it be…Naked”.

The “Naked” release is supposed to be a “stripped” version of their old album. Even the cover appears to have a “stripped” down version of the old cover, showing the same photo except this time it is the negative amidst a gray background.

“Naked” is supposed to take the music closer to the band members' desire to return to basics, as expressed in the optimistic claim on the original sleeve, "This is a New Phase Beatles Album."

The first album was created in 1969 and released a year later, but in 1970 the band broke up. Thenewest release is meant to show Beatle fans what their music back then would sound like if they made it now.

"Let It Be...Naked" strips away the orchestration and lavish production work imposed at the time by "Wall of Sound" producer Phil Spector.

The new CD will capture the listeners and make it sound like they are in the studio with the Beatles while they are recording. A statement from Paul McCartney said, "If we'd have had today's technology back then, it would sound like this because this is the noise we made in the studio. It's all exactly as it was in the room. You're right there now."

The only other surviving Beatle Ringo Starr added, "When I first heard it, it was really uplifting. It took you back again to the times when we were this band, the Beatle band."

Revisions such as the deletion of background dialogue and the songs “Dig It” and “Maggie Mae” have been made. The song “Don’t Let Me Down” has been included in the story as well. Maybe a new generation of Beatle fans will take to the “Naked” sounds and appreciate the music for what it is.
