After doing a little bit of research, and listening to the difference, I wish I would have picked Let It Be... Naked.

Dont Let Me Down is one of their best songs, and only heard cause of Let It Be...Naked

This is true.

The Long and Winding Road was way better on ... Naked, and I was expecting Across the Universe to suck, but the stripped-down acoustic treatment was really great.

The more rocky songs weren't hugely different anyway, and I think I prefer them on the original, for the most part. It's hard to choose.



I just listened to Let It Be... Naked for the first time a few days ago, which is why I made this poll.

I prefer Naked. Along with what everybody has said I like the newer edit of "I Got A Feeling," but do miss the studio dialogue.

I've only listened to Naked once, so the original.

right on all fronts.

if you had made a "Both" category i woulda voted for it, because i LOVE Lennon's little non-sensical asides like at the beginning of "Two of Us"

"Phase 1, in which Doris gets her oats."

Love the original version and never listened to the Naked Version and even though I'm a huge Beatles fan I have no interest in hearing it. I like Let It be the way it is
You should give it a chance, if only for Don't Let Me Down. I like The Long and Winding Road better on Naked for sure, and Across the Universe is really interesting and worth a listen for sure.

I prefer the female version from the Across the Universe Soundtrack and I don't see Naked version topping that. I may be in the minority but I absolutely love that soundtrack and think a few of the songs especially Let It Be, Benefit of Mr. Kite, Dear Prudence, Helter Skelter, and I've Just Seen a Face are better than the originals.
I've only heard it once, but it was good from what I heard.

I don't know why it needs to top it, if you only listened to the songs you thought were the best, you'd only listen to one song haha. It's just a different, interesting approach. Stripped down and acoustic.

I'll listen to it. I actually forgot I have the entire album on by backup discs of my Uncle's music but I just never had any reason to check it out.

Have you seen the Across the Universe movie? I really like it and its pretty much the reason I got into the Beatles.
I haven't, but I've wanted to since it came out. Just never got around to it for some reason.
