The Beatles - Let It Be... Naked
This fantastic reimagining of The Beatles final studio album, Let It Be... Naked is a 2003 European first pressing.
Paul McCartney initiated the Let it Be... Naked project in an attempt to create the stripped back , raw sound that the band had intended to create when recording the album. In my opinion the project was a success the monaural reproduction has the essence of earlier Beatles albums with the refinements in lyrics and melody that time brought to The Beatles. If you haven t heard it, it is definitely worth a listen. Take a listen to a recording of this record below
This European release is complete with all original components: 12 LP, 7 Fly On The Wall bonus disc, and 20 page 12 x 12 booklet. The 7 single that comes with the album has the misprinted sleeve in which the text recording is is written as one word to the reverse. It is said that these were released with the earliest pre-ordered copies.
This particular copy is as good as you are likely to find. The disc, sleeve and inners all appear to be unused and to have been stored appropriately. A great addition to any Beatles collection.

As can be heard in the recordings, the audio is fantastic. The lead ins are quiet. During the dead-wax between tracks only the sound of a rotating stylus can be heard. The bass is punchy, the vocals are clear. A truly superb listening experience.
I haven t recorded the 7 single so that it is a nice surprise for the winning bidder It also plays without fault.

The original inner sleeve is in great condition. It is perfectly clean with no tears, writing or seam splits. The single looks as though it hasn t been taken out of the sleeve. The booklet looks unopened.
