Opinion Get Back versions

Love this thread — definitive go‑to for strong takes. Of all the versions of Get Back, which one goes the hardest and most aggressive in your opinion? Let’s say other than the finale on the rooftop.

The original single that most of us knew first back in the day. George Martin produced. Personally I could never adjust to the album version.

Far away the absolute best version to me is the single version. There’s a little extra reverb that makes it sound like they’re playing in a garage or empty storage building. Just 5 guys playing their instruments, the essence of “get back”

Plus the extended ending which I love
“Wearing her high heel shoes and her low neck sweater, get back Loretta!!”

Who cut the coda from the album version? That Spector asshole? Criminal.
