Negative Positive
Title: Screwed up by Spector
Review: This CD would have been much better if Phil Spector wouldn't have came along. Actually, three of the Beatles (John, George, and Ringo) gave it to him to reproduce under the title "Let It Be" (Previously given to Glyn Johns to produce under the title "Get Back"). The finished product was on songs like The Long And Winding Road, Let It Be, and Across The Universe, drenched to death with an incredible amount of terrible over-bearing strings and choirs. For instance, has anybody heard The Long and Winding Road on Anthology 3? Except for John pathetic attempt at bass, it is a very good and simple song. With strings and choirs added, the song becomes more like The Long And Winding Overdub Manifesto. I can understand why Paul was so mad at him. If the album "Get Back" would have been released, I think it would have been a definite 5 star album.
Is the review positive or negative?
