"Let It Be" reissue finally coming?

Paul talked more about the plans for "Let It Be":

Q: Word has it a stripped-down version of "Let It Be" is in the works, minus Phil Spector's orchestrations and other embellishments. Why not let the album be?

A: I always liked the bare version, before it got overproduced. Or I think it was called "Reproduced for disc by . . ." So before it was reproduced by Phil. I don't blame him, by the way. He was asked to do it, and it was a good gig. The other three were into it, so he was right to do it. But I wasn't very into it at the time. We were having a bit of a feud. I always personally preferred the bare version. I thought it was very brave, just the band right there - what you see is what you get. And I like that with a band. I don't like things overproduced. Then I was talking to the guy who directed the film, Michael Lindsay- Hogg. He said a lot of people had been asking him when "Let It Be" was gonna come out on DVD. In talking to one of our guys back at Apple I said to him, "What about putting those two things together?" Get the film remastered and everything, so it's all nice and clean and the sound's great, and then the soundtrack would be the bare "Let It Be" sessions. I think that's what's gonna happen.

From Jody Denberg's interview with Paul:

Jody: You've been talking about plans for Let it Be. I just wanted to kind of get a clear idea. Do you envision a DVD with extra material and then a new version of the album that's sort of without the Phil Spector production?

Paul: Yeah. What happened was, I met Michael Lindsay-Hogg on an airplane somewhere. And we got talking and he said that every time he goes into this certain shop, all the guys behind the counter say to him, "When are you going to have a DVD of Let it Be?" So I said, "Well, I think it's a great idea." And there's obviously a bit of demand there. So I talked to our guys at Apple. Talked to Neil (Aspinall). And he thought it was a good idea. What I like about it -- and I said, "If we do that, we can then issue the original version of all the songs," which is just us guys playing, before Phil got to it. Now, I don't blame Phil, but it was really -- I think it was really Allen Klein at the time who kind of made a musical judgment. He said, "I don't think it's good enough." And it's like, I just disagreed with him. I said, "I think it is." But he wanted to gussy it all up. So they called in Phil and they called it, what, Reproduced For Disc or something. And I just thought, you know, it's still a good record. But it had a lot of stuff on it that I wouldn't have put on there if I'd have been involved. But I was kind of backing out of the whole situation. It got too ugly for me. So I like the idea of doing the film. And it's soundtrack is virtually that bare album, because that's the music we were making during the making of that film. So I think that's going to happen. And yeah, I don't know about unreleased stuff. But they always look to try and find a bit of that stuff.
