Phil Spector News

Was that sound planned, circumstance or was it by accident? Most signature styles are bycircumstance or accident. I don't think any engineer or producer walks in and says to himself, "I think i'm going to make THAT sound". Well, maybe Spector did...

 

>>>.Thanks Mike. I DO give Spector Credit, but the media, over the years has played him up and up and up to be some sort of Genius who created hit records out of nothing.

When you start out with people like Ronnie Bennet, Bobby Hatfield, Bill Medley and Bobby Sheen.....well...you get my point.

That was no wig! That's how people wore their real hair!

 

planned

>>>>>>Well, I think Spector DId want "big" sounds, like his Wagner Symphonies, but i also think that a lot of it was trial and error. His first few Phillies discs, like "Theres No Other" are typical period pieces and dont have that big sound. It sounds to me like just doing sessions in Goldstar, that sound, or that "need" to use the echo chambers they way that Levine did evolved over time to solve specific problems. Remember, Goldstar was a "demo" studio and didnt have much more than echo as an effect. So, thats why they played with.
