As far as the Beatles comparison goes, I agree Let it Be naked is better, although it wasn't a great album to begin with, I think Lennon once refered to it as a piece of sh*t. I also remember Lennon saying shortly before his death that he'd like to re-mix or possibly re-do both "tomorrow never knows" and "strawberry fields forever," as the finished product was not what he heard in his head.
In either case, Intellectual property belongs to the owner and is not completed until the artist says its completed. period.
