Spector was brought in to produce the Beatles' Let It Be album, but the band were dissatisfied with the result. A stripped-down version of the album Let It Be Naked was released 20 years ago.
Y'know, I've seen little reason for the removal of any of the posts that have deleted. It's getting to the point where AB is actively discouraging discussion.
@20.04.Spector fairly made a *uck-up of one of the best Beatles recordings ever-The Long and Winding Road.McCartney never forgave Lennon or Spector for this massive *uck up. *=m,by the way.

An unfair criticism I would suggest.
If you employ Phil Spector as a producer and then complain that he has 'over-orechstrated' your music, that is tantamount to employing a shark as a lifeguard and then complaining when it eats people.
The Beatles were well aquainted with Mr Spector's reputation and style as a producer, I can't really see what else they expected than what he did with the tracks he was given.

A fair point, which once again speaks to the argument about appreciating the art whilst not in any way allowing that appreciation to be seen as tacit endoresment of the behaviour of the artist.
@20.18.Fair point,Andrew,Fair point.But at that time Lennon and McCartney were at each others throats,and a lot of people say that Lennon only gave the "Let it be" tapes to Spector (so he could make a *uck up of them)just to annoy Macca.

A 'lot of people' say 'a lot of things' and only Mr McCartney knows the truth, and I don't think he posts on here, so we are not likely to know, sadly.
I left a perfectly civil thread (some differing opinions, yes) and came back to one with 5 answers removed. I had read these answers and didn't see anything that warranted removal.

Needles removal of answers derails threads. //
I can only repeat my earlier advice - if you feel posts have been deleted without appropriate reasons, then you have the right to raise your issues with the Editor and team.
Experience shows that references to deleted posts are deleted by Moderators because they lead to off-thread arguments which in turn derail threads.
By all means raise your issues with the Ed tomorrow morning, but for tonight,nothing is going to get resolved here and now.
