I've been listening to Let It Be on the stereo, in the other room, and it
sounds fine. Yeah a little modern, but there isn't much way around that
anymore.

Wasn't there a discussion a while back about remixing stuff at
home....Well, this album is sort of that case, except they had much
better tools than most of us have on our PC. I think there were so many
possibilities for this album just as there was in the first place that
you have to accept it for what it is. I like the original myself, and I
like the bootlegs I have. This sounds better than the boots, but I still
want to know why Teddy Boy isn't on it!!! The version on Anthology isn't
the one I'd heard before...oh well, they'll redo it again in 20 years.

np: Radio Birdman BrizVegas DVD rough cut...oooooh oooooh
