Definitive Spector: and not a dead waitress in sight!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 September 2012

Verified Purchase

Before being known for his complete inability to handle firearms and bizarre court appearances, Harvey Phillip Spector was the one of the greatest record producers of his time. This compilation features all the best recordings from his Philles period in the early to mid-60s.

With the great vocal talents of The Crystals, The Ronettes (whose lead singer Ronnie Bennett, Spector would later marry), The Righteous Brothers and of course Tina Turner just to mention a few. Spector's iconic (a word that is over-used, but I'm sure you'll agree not in this case) production style, The Wall Of Sound is documented perfectly here.

What sets this collection apart in my view is the fact that all the personnel that played in the legendary Wrecking Crew are all listed along with the songs they played on. Ideal if like me you're a bit of a nerd and like to know that sort of thing!!!

Also included is Spector's Xmas album, recorded believe or not at his fortress Gold Star Studios in California in the heat of the August summer!!! Believe me, once you've heard classic Xmas tunes given the Wall of Sound treatment, you'll wonder why you ever put up with having to listen to the turgid crap we're all subjected to every year.

A must buy for any music fan, treat yourself to the work of one of the 20th Centuries great musical figures.

TYCOON OF TEEN

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 August 2011

Verified Purchase

This is a great package at a great price.Good old wig wearing,gun toting megalomaniac Phil Spector sure made some excellent tunes at his height,Tom Wolfe reffered to Phil as the "tycoon of teen".This cd contains many classics from Be My Baby,River Deep Mountain High,Unchained Melody.You also get the legendary Phil Spector christmas album.Credit should be applied all round,especially the lyric writers.Obviously Phils the star though.I believe a film is being made with Al Pacino as Spector,should be cool as they do not make stars like Phil anymore,borderline crazy genius flanked by bodyguards,taking no prisoners whether its Lennon or Cohen.Obviously the situation has ended with Phil behind bars,though lefty Hollywood is slowly starting a Spector is innocent campaign.Spector is a one man parable on stardom and madness.For the time being though listen to this great cd and remind yourself of the guys majestic talent.

wall of sound

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 February 2011

Verified Purchase

Have always loved Phil Spectre, this collection was good but not as good as expected,
There were a few tracks that were not as popular as most of his work, but on the
whole it brought back good memories of that 'era' which I wish we had now.
The Christmas CD is good, a bit cheesy but fun to listen to.
Not bad for the money 'guys', enjoy.

Great old Wall of Sound

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 August 2011

Verified Purchase

Wallow in those fab days of the Wall of Sound from the rather odd Mr Spector. This is a great quality CD set, although unless it's Christmas you won't be listening to the CD 'A Christmas Gift For You.' You can have too much of a good thing. Ahem.
But the 'Wall of Sound Retrospective' CD has all the Ronettes, Crystals and other artists' big hits to deliver that super blast of tuneful sound you can't help tapping your foot or dancing to. Stick this on and revel in a sound that modern artists seem to have mislaid somewhere.

Die CD entspricht genau meinen Erwartungen, war professionell verpackt und macht mich sehr glücklich!

Amazing remastering

Reviewed in the United States on 21 July 2007

Verified Purchase

After listening for years to the Back to Mono box set, remastered by Phil Spector earlier, and the illegal but somewhat superior sound of the Marginal Records releases from Belgium, this new set is a revelation to the ears. Remastered again by Phil Spector, but this time in stereo, the sound is fantastically fresh and clear, affording the listener a greatly enhanced experience. I never thought I would hear these old songs sound so great - all we can hope for is that the entire "Wall of Sound" catalogue gets the same treatment - but I guess that may have to wait until Mr Spector is a free man ? 5 stars for CD one - 3 stars for the Christmas album. Maybe it's just an Australian thing, but we don't go in for Christmas albums, no matter who sings them. That said, this is a mandatory purchase for fans of the era - you won't be listening to "Back to Mono" again.

良い音楽には違いない

Reviewed in Japan on 2 August 2007

Verified Purchase

例の殺人事件の影響でしょうか、発売以来ほとんど話題にならなくて寂しいです。
アメリカ盤も出ていないようですし。
一部には、「聴くべきものが入ってない」という評価もあるようですが、
いやいや、スペクターの音楽自体が、いつでも、いつまでも、聴くべきものなのだと思いますよ。
このサウンドで、キリッとまとまったベスト盤。欲しかったし、やっぱり良いものです。

最後のスパニッシュ・ハーレムは、スペクターの弾き語りです。歌が上手いんで驚きました。
ＭＦＱのライブで、飛び入りで唄ったのもスパニッシュ・ハーレムだそうです。
この歌なら、なるほどキム・フォウリーもビックリですね。

好適盤。「ＢＡＣＫ　ＴＯ　ＭＯＮＯ」を買い損ねた人にはお薦め。またリマスターされたＭＯＮＯ　ＳＯＵＮＤは非常に聴きやすく、
ハッピーな曲調が大半となっていて、あっという間に聴き終え、気分が晴れわたる！！

A Bit of a Disappointment

Reviewed in the United States on 4 July 2008

Verified Purchase

This collection is a bit of a disappointment, first, because of the failure to include even the already published stereo versions of at least eight of the 22 tracks (not to mention the already published stereo pressing of the entire Christmas album), and second, because of the failure to include any of the late 60s/early 70s Spector work, e.g. with the Checkmates, Ltd, with Ronnie Spector ("Try Some, Buy Some"), and even with the Ronettes themselves ("You Came, You Saw, You Conquered"). Still, thanks to the solid mastering and the somewhat bizarre inclusion of the Phil Spector solo demo of "Spanish Harlem," this disc is, for collectors, worth the price. And if the rumor about EMI's acquisition of master tapes turns out to be accurate, one can only hope for future release of true stereo mixes of the classic Spector recordings, as well as possibly unreleased tracks (e.g., "Baby, Don't You Get Crazy" by the Checkmates). Notwithstanding Spector's nostalgia about Gold Star and early 60s car radios, the stereo mixes make it far easier to appreciate his superb mastery of his medium -- and, let's face it, it's time to bag the "Back to Mono" mantra!
