Good point you made there, John. At the time, I wasn't aware of all of the Wall-Of-Soundalike tracks having been released at the time. I knew of some, but nothing like what was released in these 3 CDs in this thread. I guess the radio D.J.'s would get tired of Phil's "sound". But, how many of these tracks actually got airplay is the question. I think it's safe to say that very few of them, if any, became hits. If they didn't receive airplay, I'm not sure how the D.J.'s could have gotten tired of the sound. But, again, that's pure speculation on my part.
Cheers right back at 'cha! Glad you're having fun with it! Some of these Spector soundalikes are really hot! [[The Bonnets, The Satisfactions, Alder Ray, Sharon Marie, etc. And so many more!)
