Wow! To think that a post comapring the beatles to star wars would be what finally got me to sign up. First let me say that I totally disagree with you on the subject matter. As a majoy beatles fan I of course would also like to see the albums reissued with newly remastered sound, but I completely disagree with you on your comments on the later albums. I can't really speak for the remastering of the Yellow Submarine album, seeing as I don't own the reissue, only the 1987 original cd-version. (and LP of course) But when it comes to Let it be: naked, that is the way the album should have been! The noise-reduction on it is done so wonderfully, that you can now even hear the little riffs George does on One after 909. It's just truly magnificent. Personally I think it's amazing how much de-Spectorizing it would bring it to a level where you can stand to listen to it. Let it be used to be my least favourite Beatles album, just because of the way Phil Spector totally raped both the idea and sound of the album. With Let i be: naked it was suddenly my favourite album, and continues to be, pushing Abbey Road to a good second. One could of course argue that using different takes is stupid, but having heard most of the Let it be recording sessions through bootleg, I find the newly selected takes to be vastly superior to the ones Phil chose. If you want the original cut, however, it is available as a bootleg. Just look for Glys Johns second edition Get Back. But be warned, Let it be: naked is better. At least in my opinion.
