I am posting this as a new thread. There was discussion below on various issues with both Let it Be and George's guitar licks. I mentioned how much I enjoyed the Cheatleg of Let it Be (the song) which featured both of Harrison's released leads. Anyway....yesterday on Beatlerama, they played a perfectly mixed version.
I have to find a copy. I think it was fantastic. Recommend you hear it if you haven't already.

Sounds interesting as I like aspects of both. The single version was good for repeated AM listenings and the album version was better for FM.

I think the album solo for Let It Be is streets ahead of the one that is played on the single and in the movie.The album solo is the later one and he has improved on it both with tone and note selection.I really dig the distortion he has on that solo.....
The best Let it Be solo from Paul's solo career is the one Robbie McIntosh plays on Tripping the Light Fantastic......
That is a really well constructed,really well played solo and Robbie draws the required amount of emotion out of his guitar that the song requires.

Agree. It's one of the very few instances where the original May 1970 release scores over the 'Naked' version. Oddly enough, the only Spector production flourish that I like on the entire album is the brass overdubbed onto the chorus of 'Let it be'.

Isn't the brass a George Martin overdub? I thought it was on the single.
While the album solo is better, the two of them together is interseting to hear.
Another interesting lead for Let it Be was on Kampuchea by Rockestra (Gilmour, Townshend, etc.)
