Wall of Sound: The Very Best of Phil Spector 1961-1966

Fifty years ago, legendary producer Phil Spector established 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. This newly re-mastered greatest hits collection contains 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.
