Phil Spector - Part F - "Apple Records"

[Boogiedown]

Sure, Boog, I remember many of those Gilda skits. As shown briefly near the end of your video, I especially loved the recurring skit where she and Bill Murray were dating, and Jane Curtain played Gilda's nerdy mother who was always serving them Tang!

so funny , serving them Tang!!

Gary , I'm going to post this here , in the Apple section because here is an unlikely early connection between Spector and The Beatles. We all know The Beatles' infamous remaking of the Isley Bros. TWIST AND SHOUT.

Well how about this, the original release of TWIST AND SHOUT as produced by ......... an emerging Phil Spector :




It all goes 'round and 'round

You like that, John? True, it's a known fact that Phil had a fairly successful string of hits on various record labels before he started Philles. But, to my ear, they didn't sound anything like the Phil Spector that I quickly grew to know and love via Philles Records. I did love The Teddy Bears, of course. [[I got the "To Know Him IsTo Love Him" 45 for Christmas 1958 when I was 7!). And I liked the Paris Sisters. And, of course, Connie Francis' "Second Hand Love" is among my favorites. But that's about it. Phil's R&B stuff on Atlantic was too raw for me. I couldn't identify with it. I have an entire CD of Phil's Atlantic productions but they don't sound at all like him. You know who probably does appreciate them is Robb K. He's really into early R&B. Am I right Robb?!!!
