I agree with that.  It's nice to hear the remarkable clarity of these
versions of the songs, and having alternate legitmate releases of the
songs without Spector's production is very nice, especially "Long and
Winding Road."

But, I don't buy the hype that this is the version the Beatles
intended all along.  That makes for nice marketing I suppose, but I
think by and large the original album (and the Glyn Johns boots maybe
moreso) are far more reflective of what the whole Get Back project was
supposed to be about. Not to mention that without Lennon's input, and
who knows how much or little of Harrison's inut, that this could be
the definitive version of the album. (Does anyone here know how much
input George had on this project before his death?) I'd like to have
seen a clean version of one of the Glyn Johns' "Get Back" albums.  Oh
well, I guess that's what the bootlegs are for.
