Thanks for that link.
I read this post on a forum some time ago where the guy compared Let It Be from LIB Naked and the original takes on some Roll, can't remember the numbers.
Anyways, he was able to show all the edits and cuts and what not from looking at the frequencies of the music (instead of doing it all by ear).
It was quite amazing to see all the work that went into Let It Be.

I think they sanitized it way too much almost doing a Paula Abdul on it:
. And, as part of the improvement process, once the recordings were in the digital world, the engineers began researching which takes were the best performances, and, if more than one take of a song had strong attributes, trial edits were made to see what combination would make the best overall performance. “Once we had the building blocks in the digital domain,” says Massey, “we'd delve into a bit more detail. If there were fluffed lines or pops, etc., if there was another take without the errors, we'd try inserting that part from the other take.”
Adds Hicks, “Sometimes we did the tiniest little things. If something wasn't quite right — if there was a bend in a note or something — we did actually replace it with a slightly better one.
I'd like to hear the way it REALLY sounded, warts and all: out of tune, blown lyrics etc.
As it is I like Spectors version better, it's got a much warmer feeling to it, this one is very cold, almost like it's been taken apart in a laboratory, and I felt that way before I read this article. I mean it's not all bad to me, but it's pretty dry.
