Wilson was so moved by Spector's production of 'Be my Baby' that he played it repeatedly every morning. Wilson was a genius, but his records arguably wouldn't have sounded the way they did had it not been for Spector. John Lennon & George Harrison - heard of them? Who did they ask to co-produce their early solo records? This is like that daft lassie who was editor of Smash Hits at the time George Harrison died - "What's all the fuss about? I could understand if it was Simon Le Bon or Tony Hadley"! Edited January 17, 2021 by paranoid android 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well seeing they didn't have the Internet or computer games in the 1960s, if people obsessed about a fucking producer enough to turn him into a celebrity in their own right.

As a human being, he was not the best. Have to disagree Jimi, George Martin and his Abbey Road Massive take the gold medal. George Martin's reaction to Let It Be's cover notes was that it should have read “Produced by George Martin, overproduced by Phil Spector.” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John MacLean Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Clearly people set a low standard for what constitutes a celebrity years ago as I've never heard of him and fail to see why he was ever relevant That you haven't heard of him, which without knowing your age might be perfectly understandable, is reflective of nothing other than a gap in your own knowledge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John MacLean Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 They say the line between genius and insanity is an extremely fine one and Spector perfectly demonstrated that.An absolute genius music producer, Let It Be not withstanding, but a total lunatic with an already well demonstrated obsession with playing with guns long before the murder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Academically Deficient Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 His over-production of The Ramones was a black mark against his career. Enjoying the whole "I've not heard of this guy, get it off the news" vibe. It's like "yer da patter" in reverse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Clyde Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Seemed like a terrible person. Pretty much kept his wife from the Ronettes under house arrest, as he was so jealous 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
