Phil Spector's Greatest Hits

  A producer's sound that is so renowned that he is considered an artist himself, not that the other great producers deserve that title any less, but Spector coined his own brand of Rock 'n' Roll.  All the tracks on this double LP set feature the humongous Spectorized "Wall Of Sound", it's hard to categorize his  style ... maybe ... Soulish Wop 'n' Roll ... I'd name some tracks ... but then I'd have to name 'em all ... point is his influence spans way farther than his heyday in the 60's, his sound is still mimicked today, and his techniques were revolutionary!
