        From the preview I heard on WOMC, to me, the biggest differences
are in the tracks 'Let it Be' and "Long and Winding Road'.  The big
difference was to strip away the Phil Spector production and leave 
the bare recording.  Both, I think, are different takes from the LIB 
sessions.
        I will go out and buy this, butI will still enjoy the originals
as they where done.
        I think this would have made more sense if released with
a re-issued Let It Be movie.

        I think we may learn that producer George Martin is the
most important Beatle.  He has nothing to do with the original
or the re-issue LIB.

Has anybody but me ever actually seen the Let It Be movie?  There's a 
lot of "naked" performances of songs from the album in there, so I know 
what we're getting.  I'm looking forward to it, and I bet Paul 
McCartney is looking forward to it even more.

There's a lot of good songs on this album underneath the Spectorian 
slop, and it'll be great to get them out from under it.

it's a really boring movie about a band breaking up.


i've seen it many times as the pathology is interesting.

From the Very little I've heard of it, it sounded a lot like John Lennon had
been drowned out in favour of MicCartney. Full disclosure: I've never liked
McCartney nor his music (except for - gasp - a brief flirtation with Mull of
Kintyre, and a liking for Live and Let Die, of which the GnR version is better
anyhow.)

The "Let It Be" movie is tedious as a movie, but it's got a lot of 
really good music in it.

If you like the Beatles, that is.  If Roger Daltry really can't tell 
the difference between the Beatles and a swing band, that'd explain a 
lot about his band.
