Check out Glimpses by Lewis Shiner. Lead character finds his cassette machine has recorded, decades later, Get Back, the Beatles’ roots rock album that ended up instead as Let It Be. Complications ensue, involving Jim Morrison, Brian Wilson’s Pet Sounds and Hendrix.

The true test of deSpectorisation would have to be ‘The Long and Winding Road’, since that got much more of the Wall o’ Sound treatment than the title track. So it’s a bit misleading. A bit like Terry’s hairline.

The biggest difference to my ear is that the vocals are much crisper. Maybe this is because it’s a higher-quality transfer from the originals, or maybe it’s because Spector’s “wall of sound” technique covers up finer details of the performance.

It’d need new lyrics before it could be said to be an improvement. And a bridge.
