Ronettes - Be My Baby (Original Stereo Studio Take 25)

Without question, and notwithstanding his legal problems, Phil Spector was one of the great producers in rock and roll history and ever a perfectionist (notice this is Take 25). Written by Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry, "Be My Baby" has been called by some music critics the greatest rock and roll record of all time. That may be stretching it some, but it's certainly one of the best. From September of 1963 this is "Be My Baby" featuring the lead vocal of Veronica Bennett (later Mrs. Ronnie Spector, Phil's wife) and The Ronettes with the "mikes open" at the studio and a comment from Phil Spector himself at the completion.

who TF is phil???

[Nocaro]

@aaronjoeseph Phil is Phil Spector, one of the great record producers of the 60's pop era who created what was then called the "Wall Of Sound", a unique "fuller" sound. He also worked with the Righteous Brothers...listen to "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" by them for more of Spector's work.

Why did Sonny have to consider himself "jived"?

[Nocaro]

@tolanstout You'll have to ask Phil Spector himself about that, but I think he's still in prison.

where did you find this? or did you put it together yourself? johnreynolds has posted the instrumental and the backing vocals, but i've never been able to find the acapella track of ronnie singing or the string section

@mazdaishpahan Sorry, I've had this for so long that I cannot recall where I came upon it...Lanny (Nocaro)

[bennygoods]

@capitolemiproducer Carol Kaye, Tommy Tedesco on guitars.According to Carol Kaye no special way to produce "wall of sound". Just everybody playing too loud and bleeding over into each others mics.
