[edit] Imagine

I listened fly on the wall and around the 6th minute their are a few Imagine notes should we add this to this page? H-J

[edit] DVD?

I'm sure when it first came out the bonus CD was said to actually be a DVD, can anyone else remember this? --Jimmyjrg 23:22, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Track by Track notes

The "Track notes" section of the Wiki article seems to be lifted verbatim from the article by Matt Hurwitz. Kudos for at least crediting the article, but it's still plagiarism without Hurwitz's name attached to his words. -- IKUnderhill 16:05, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

A clarification about "Across the Universe": the animal sound effects weren't part of the original version of the song recorded in 1968. The animal sounds were added later only for a new mix of the song to be included in the album No One's Gonna Change Our World, a charity album for the World Wildlife Fund, therefore they were never "edited out" for the "Naked" edition of the album by Phil Spector.

[edit] Importance

Is This version of Let It Be really high importance? I've not changed it and I strongly support ALL official Beatles albums released at the time getting "High" but this really was Macca getting revenge on Phil Spector wasn't it? I'd categorise it as a vanity project. My vote is to downgrade the importance one notch & leave the original Let It Be on High where it belongs Megamanic 05:55, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

This album is significant as it (arguably) provides the definitive versions of some tracks over the Phil Spector mixes (e.g. The Long and Winding Road). Therefore I think high is apprpriate. Also it was sanctioned by all the remaining Beatles + Yoko. simonthebold 07:23, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
