Editorial Reviews

Questo docu-film realizzato per Channel Four TV è la storia di uno dei più celebrati e geniali produttori musicali. Racchiude fantastici filmati dei primi anni '60 di Phil che compone o che registra in studio assieme ai Blossoms. Vengono svelati i segreti del suo inimitabile wall of sound e molti dei musicisti con i quali ha lavorato tracciano attraverso interviste esclusive un ritratto affascinante del personaggio: tra questi i Ramones, Leiber & Stoller, Sonny Bono, Ronnie Spector, Darlene Love. Tra le canzoni incluse: Da Doo Ron Ron e He's A Rebel delle Crystals, Be My Baby delle Ronettes, You've Lost That Loving Feelin' dei Righteous Brothers, Rock'n'roll High School dei Ramones e molte altre.

This review is from: Phil Spector - Da Doo Ron Ron: Story Of Phil Spector (DVD)

This 1983 documentary interviews many of Phil Spector's mentors, sidemen and professional associates, and is eerily prophetic as several describe his erratic behavior and gun-obsession. Before he became a convicted killer, Spector was a great pop producer, but was never anything less than a ruthless, greedy businessman who exploited his artists mercilessly, as Darlene Love, among others, attests. There is a delightful little interlude with Ms. Love lip-synching to her classic Spector Xmas recording of "White Christmas" as she walks along a California beach, among other diverting moments. The interviews with the Ramones, all of whom seem to have detested working with Spector, are classics. However, the color was terribly over-saturated and overall picture quality was not good; this cries out for a professional digital remastering, hence three stars instead of four.
