Editorial Reviews
Through the 1960s, songs that rang with Phil Spector s signature studio approach ruled the popcharts. In his heyday, Spector s name was more popularly known than the artists he made famous the Ronettes, Crystals, Righteous Brothers, Darlene Love. His was the Midas touch the pop singles on his own Philles label were as ubiquitous as Motown s and rivaled the popularity of the Beatles.
Fifty years ago, legendary producer Phil Spectorestablished his own record label Philles, and a new sound began to ring out of radio speakers across America. The sound Spector created lush, resonant, and dramatic, blending the sentimental swoon of string sections with the excitement of rock and roll was so different, so instantly recognizable, it earned its own name: The Wall of Sound. Through the 1960s, with songs like Be My Baby, Then He Kissed Me, Walking in the Rain, and Da Doo Ron Ron, he ruled the pop charts and made artists like Darlene Love, The Crystals and The Ronettes household names. For twenty years, no new collections of these artists, Philles s most successful, have been released, and only a limited amount of the tracks have been available digitally. The newly remastered greatest hits collections contain the best and most iconic recordings by these artists, and their familiarity will be sure to strike a chord with fans both young and old.

The tracks which are unique to this hits retrospective are "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" (the first true "Wall" production produced at Gold Star Studios), "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" (sounding infinitely better here than ever heard before) and "River Deep, Mountain High" which I would have preferred in its original mono mix for consistency with the rest of the album. As it is however, it's a superior mastering.
This is much, much more than just another 60s hits collection or a label compilation: it's a one-disc statement by a musical genius and highly-influential producer which underscores what he's said for years: "Let the music speak for itself."
