I do remember the break up and thinking, "Why would they do that?"
Now that I am older, I readily understand the utter exhaustion that being a Beatle may have produced for them.
Imagine a band that great keeping that recording pace now!

Side note: I know this may be anathema, but I actually prefer the "Naked" version.

Further side note: I know this is an impossibility (no need to inform me of that,) but after watching McCartney 3,2,1 it would be way cool to eventually allow the master tapes to be stored on a virtual mixing board and let anybody have a shot at making their own 'mix.'
Hearing those individual tracks on the 3,2,1 episodes was a revelation. Wouldn't you love to play with that?

Final side note: Does anybody know how to define the quality of the 'definition' of that Apple USB Beatles stick? 24/44.1 is it hi rez, not hi rez?
