Annotation

Perhaps the first music producer to be considered as important as the artists he worked with, the figure of Phil Spector looms large over the history of the record industry. Spector's trademark "Wall Of Sound" technique formed the basis for hits by groups from Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans to the Beatles, and he possessed an unparalleled instinct for turning three-minute pop songs into miniature symphonies. However, he was also a man plagued by demons, exacerbated by the traumatic experience of his father's suicide and his subsequent solitary childhood after his family's move to Los Angeles from New York. PHIL SPECTOR: OUT OF HIS HEAD, Richard Williams' penetrating biography of the man who provided a generation of pop fans with the soundtrack of their youth, reveals both sides of the producer: the creative genius, witnessed in the studio masterfully overseeing the recording of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)" single, who enabled noted producers such as George Martin, Tom Dowd, and Bob Johnston to be seen as vital to the record-making process--and the irrational, frequently paranoid figure who was capable of threatening his artists with firearms.
