Question About Brian

[The Madcap]

I was wondering if anyone knows what Brian thinks of the album Let It Be by The Beatles? I ask this because it's a Beatles album produced by Phil Spector, who as we all know were both big influences on Brian.

In a recent interview he mentioned how much he liked Let it Be. Can't remember if it was the album or just the song.

I've heard him praise both.

In an interview from September 2010 Brian said about "Let It Be" (the song):

"I can't listen to it anymore. It's too scary, or too powerful, or too whatever. When 'Let It Be' comes on now I turn (it) off."

Not a month ago he was singing its praises on TV. Classic Brian.

I still think it should be reissued with George Martin's comment:

"Produced by George Martin
Overproduced by Phil Spector"

I think the song is actually better with the Spector treatment.
The only song that got really ruined on Let It Be was "The Long and Winding Road"

Spector did unnecessary things to Across The Universe too, possibly my favourite Beatles song, the Let It Be...Naked version is much better.
