King, the Creations, Billy Storm, the Ducanes, LaVern Baker, Gene Pitney and many others. Ace.

A Little More - And A Little Less Than You Might Expect

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 19, 2010

Verified Purchase

Rhino Records has a 12-track collection out with a similar title. Of those, 7 appear on this collection as well, but oddly nothing by the group, Spector's Three. As we've come to expect with Ace releases, there is a nice 24-page booklet that is well-researched and full of extra details that serve to make the music fresh and immediate. The mastering and audio restoration are seamless and in no way distracting. The tracks are not on the CD in chronological order, but rather as a mix seeking to be pleasant to the ear. Several of the tracks will be new to you in all liklihood, and even if you know little or nothing about record producing, you can't help but listen in awe at the attention to detail.

Spector's Foundation of Sound (pre-Wall)

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 23, 2013

The 1983 RHINO Records LP entitled PHIL SPECTOR - THE EARLY PRODUCTIONS 1958-1961 (RNDF 203) is just a small sampling of this songwriter/producer's pre-Wall of Sound output. (NOTE: The CD version has a larger playlist.) Some were hits, some are now obscure, all bear the mark of Phil's approach to music. The early tracks reflect the sounds Spector was exposed to while growing up in NYC; the later ones clearly preface the numerous densely arranged million sellers he was soon to create.

SIDE ONE NOTES
1.) Where it all began, it was also a #10 R&B hit for 17-year-old Phil. 2.) Another bestseller, this was #7 for a month. Classic doowop, but with the unique addition of finger cymbals and tight orchestration. 3.) By a six man unit, it's the B side to their remake of a Teenchords single. 4.) A Wall of Sound precursor, it includes tympani rolls. 5.) Ballad with a "daum-daumy-daum" refrain. 6.) Phil lavished much attention and borrowed cash on this fine Goffin/King tune that became a Pitney classic.

SIDE TWO NOTES
1.) A perfect little pop symphony. Perfectionist Spector worked for weeks on the arrangement, vocals, mixes and remixes. 2.) A frenzied 'A' side with indecipherable lyrics from a talented NJ group that never made it big. This was an East Coast hit but it tanked nationally. 3.) Pitney's B side is almost as complex as "Every Breath I Take." 4.) The followup to "Pretty Little Angel Eyes" is an imitation of Freddy Cannon or Gary US Bonds that may have doomed it to barely breaking into the Top 50. 5.) An atmospheric, echoey track reminiscent of the Fleetwoods, it was a non-charter. 6.) Goffin/King ballad with gentle strings is their followup to "I Love How You Love Me."

Includes release dates, plus peak Billboard Hot 100 chart positions (where applicable).

All tracks mono, except (E) = electronically simulated stereo

[2:24] To Know Him, Is to Love Him - The Teddy Bears (E) (9/58 - #1)

[1:54] That's Alright Baby - Kell Osbourne

Genius not a Copycat

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 5, 2010

Verified Purchase

If Phil Spector was a copycat so was Pablo Picasso - the 'genius' comes from using, reinterpreting and then creating something new and very different (Phil Spector was a genius not a copycat). Now that's of my chest, go and buy this wonderful mix of early productions. From start to finish the quality of the music on this cd never drops below very good. Like most 'Ace' cd's the booklet is great and packed with info and label scans. Music wise the well known tracks sound great - 'Spanish Harlem', 'Under the moon of love', 'Pretty little angel eyes' and 'Every breath I Take'. Some of my favourites would be 'I'm so happy'- the Ducanes and 'That's alright baby' - Kel Osborne and 'I love you Betty' - Terry Day both the latter showing early signs of the 'wall of sound'. I would recommend this cd to anyone who likes fine music.

On n'en est pas encore aux grands chefs d'oeuvre à venir, certes. Il n'empêche, le production du génial Phil Spector est déjà phénoménal et les chansons superbes. Obligatoire et pas qu'un peu.

not what I expected

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 18, 2010

this is not what I expected, perhaps I was misled by the Amazon's description of the content. This is very mellow music, which can hardly be considered linked to early rock wave: nothing wrong with that, but be aware!
