Orusaka,
I enjoy Let It Be Naked too, to a degree, but I prefer the Get Back bootleg. I understand it's simply a matter of personal preference. Just to clarify, noise reduction, particulary NoNoise, is not needed, nor is it really intended, to make things sound clearer (as in hearing more detail in a guitar riff). It's generally used in the hopes of making things sounds cleaner, as in getting rid of tape hiss. Very similar to the use of edge enhancement on DVDs. Problem is, when you get rid of tape hiss you also lose other high frequencies that make up the ambience of the original recording. LIBN just sounds too sterile to me.
But what really bothers me is that it was marketed as the "Beatles original cut", when it's nothing of the sort.

Again along the lines of the SE and Lucas's refusal to release the OT....these new mixes and experiments would be easier to digest and would be of more interest to fans if the original mixes of the original albums were properly released first.
