Free Music Review: A "Wall Of Sound" Christmas Gift For You
Hit: 5 Stars
This is by far the most fun Christmas album ever made. It's a blast to hear Phil Spector's famous "wall of sound" production applied to non-secular standards. The arrangements are high-spirited and ebullient, and the stable of stars with whom he recorded so many classic 60's pop hits are all in peak form.
You know them, you love them. Ronnie Spector and the Ronettes sing three songs, Darlene Love performs four, and the Crystals and Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans handle three and two, respectively. There's not a bad track among them. You're sure to recognize these versions from the heavy play they get every holiday season (even 45 years after the album was released) - but it's more fun to hear them all in a row.
There's a couple other ways to buy this. It comprises the entire fourth disc of the Phil Spector 4-disc box set "Back To Mono" (the other 3 discs are an exhaustive overview of Spector productions from 1958 to 1969). His 22 biggest radio hits are on a single-disc compilation called "Phil Spector Wall Of Sound Retrospective", and those same 22 tracks are packaged with the Christmas album on the 2-disc "The Phil Spector Collection". However you get it - it's worth the investment. This is a perennial you'll treasure forever, guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
Merry Christmas everyone - and Happy New Year!
A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector Poster
This album has grown in stature over the years and has been reissued countless times. If you have to own a record to play half a dozen times during the festive season, then this is the one and only. Featuring the amazing Spector production together with Darlene Love, The Crystals, The Ronettes, BobB. Soxx And The Blue Jeans, even Leon Russell on piano and Sonny Bono on percussion, this is another timeless record that is unlikely ever to be surpassed as the greatest Christmas compilation of all time.This lavish holiday set has been called the greatest rock & roll Christmas album of all time. That's an opinion that's tough to argue with when you find yourself immersed in the massive sounds painstakingly crafted by legendary producer Phil Spector. His "wall-of-sound" technique is perfectly suited to the music of the season, as he proves with layer upon layer of piano, sleigh bells, buoyant percussion, and, of course, those legendary Spectorsound harmonies. The Crystals turn their sassy interplay into sheer magic on "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town," The Ronettes stroll sweetly through numbers like "Sleigh Ride," while Darlene Love delivers a real knockout punch with her yearning version of "Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)." Sure to become the soundtrack for your holidays. --David Sprague
