Hi John! I know what you mean! Phil's unreleased "Rare Masters", as he called them on his two revelatory Various-Artists LPs of vaulted Philles material which finally saw the light of day in Fall 1976, were indeed a pleasant shock! You hear them and they leave you thinking, "My God! This stuff is fantastic! How could Phil have left them sitting on a shelf for 11 years?" I think we all felt a bit robbed, but getting them in '76 was certainly better late than never. I'll post the two Rare Masters LPs later in the Phil Spector series when we cover the Phil Spector International label.
