Love the original. Yes, a bit flowery.
 
Love 'Naked' too. Well worth a listen.

I love the original, even with the flowers.

For me, "Naked" has no real advantage to me over the original. Some of
the new mixes may be marginally "better" than the originals, but the
vibe and atmosphere are missing.

I like Giles Martin's 2021 remix best. It sounds true to the original
release, just a little bit cleaner. The orchestral overdubs are still
there but they're better balanced and less overbearing. I have problems
with some of Giles' other remixes, but I think he got it right on this
one.
