...if you check the Anthology tapes or video you can hear the original stripped-down demo (and those are actually demos...i.e. demonstrating the song to the people who are going to be involved in playing and producing it).

it kills.

in fact, i'd say that one of the reasons the Beatles were/are so phenomenal is that they were able to exploit such a wide range of production techniques so effectively, without letting the songs become at all reliant on the studio.

now, they may have become reliant on the studio as songWRITERS...writing looser or more flexible material to leave space for further composition and improvisation in the studio, but that's something different.
