It's amazing and so is the Naked version. Both are essential for Beatles heads. The production is pretty hammy on the original but that makes it stand out in the Beatles discography. John Lennon's sense of humor really shone through on it, but it was completely lost on Naked.
It's not my favorite Beatles album by any stretch but it may very well have my favorite Beatles song.

>In an interview published by the Evening Standard in two parts on 22 and 23 April 1970, McCartney said: "The album was finished a year ago, but a few months ago American record producer Phil Spector was called in by Lennon to tidy up some of the tracks. But a few weeks ago, I was sent a re-mixed version of my song 'The Long and Winding Road' with harps, horns, an orchestra, and a women's choir added. No one had asked me what I thought. I couldn't believe it."[16][7] The Beatles' usual producer, George Martin, agreed, calling the remixes "so uncharacteristic" of the Beatles.[17] "It was an insult to Paul," engineer Geoff Emerick recalled. "It was his record. And someone takes it out of the can and starts to overdub things without his permission."[18
>Spector claimed the overdubs were necessary due to the poor quality of the recording, particularly Lennon's bass playing, but whilst the poor quality of the bass playing has been noted by other sources (in his book Revolution in the Head, a track-by-track analysis of the Beatles' records, Ian MacDonald described it as "atrocious" to the point of sabotage[8]), its basis as the full-scale re-working of the track by Spector has been questioned: McCartney has argued that Spector could have merely edited out the relevant mistakes and rerecorded them, a technique used elsewhere on the album, and specifically, it would have been a simple matter of having McCartney overdub a more appropriate bass part to replace the Lennon bassline that was judged to be inadequate, or even using the more polished version initially rejected by Glyn Johns.
>Ringo Starr was impressed with the Naked version of the song: "There's nothing wrong with Phil's strings, this is just a different attitude to listening. But it's been 30-odd years since I've heard it without all that and it just blew me away."[

God damn this is funny, thanks for this.

I watch the Goldfinger video every two days, fucking funny indeed
I really like the noisy sound of it but I see why people would prefer the Naked version.
My favorite Beatles album. Always was, always will be. I find it coherent, very straight forward, only one filler.
One great farewell album.
