Two of Us

TWO OF US
 
 
“Two of Us”  is a 1969 song by the Beatles, written by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon–McCartney).  “Two of Us” was originally released on Let It Be and was later released on Anthology 3 and Let It Be . . . Naked.  Its title was used for the film Two of Us, which depicts a fictionalized version of a 1976 reunion between McCartney and Lennon.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
For myself, some tacky items stood out when I scanned the changes made in Let it Be . . . Naked that are listed in Wikipedia; they seem to go beyond adjusting whatever Phil Spector had added to the recordings.  For “Dig a Pony”, Wikipedia states:  “[The] error in second verse (the ‘because’ in [John] Lennon’s vocal track) [was] digitally corrected.”  Similarly, in “Two of Us”, a “minor error in Lennon’s acoustic guitar performance [was] digitally corrected.”  One of the live tracks, “I’ve Got a Feeling” is actually composed of “[a] composite edit of two takes from the rooftop concert”.  After reading this, I have an image in my mind of a high school art student touching up an old master.
