London, Sept 19: More than 30 years after they broke up, The Beatles are to go back to basics with a stripped down version of their classic "Let It Be" album.
"It's all exactly as it was in the room. You're right there now," Paul McCartney said on Thursday of the album "Let It Be ... Naked."
After Abbey Road Studios put their 21st century digital technology to work on the original 1969 album, McCartney said of the no-frills result: "This is the noise we made in the studio."
Diehard Beatle fans with an inexhaustible appetite for nostalgic trivia will also be treated to a 20-minute bonus disc of the Beatles at work in rehearsal and in the studios.
As their fame soared, the band stopped playing live and became more involved in elaborately produced albums that changed the face of pop.
But John Lennon, killed by a crazed fan outside his New York apartment building in 1980, always argued: "In spite of all things, The Beatles could really play music together."
After three decades, Beatlemania shows no signs of fading, with their compilation album of number one hits selling 24 million copies worldwide.
