I always wanted to make the group great, and even greater. When we made
the Let It Be album, and it was a bit crummy, I insisted that we make
Abbey Road, because I knew what we were capable of. I didn't think that
we'd pulled it off on Let It Be, and then with the Phil Spector remix,
we kinda walked away from that LP. In fact, the best version of it was before anyone got hold of it: Glyn Johns's mixes were great, but they
were very, very Spartan; it would be one of the hippest records going if
they brought it out. But before it had all its raw edges off it, that
was one of the best Beatles albums because it was a bit avant-garde. I
loved it.

Bleh, he can have it. I never cared to own "Naked" even though I own all kinds of weird (non-boot) stuff like Live at the BBC, the 3 Anthology releases and the Star Club recordings.
