Phil Spector's Wall Of Sound

The Crystals - Da Doo Ron Ron
The Ronettes - Be My Baby

Two great performances with reminiscences from Larry Levine and Stan Ross, Jeff Barry who co-wrote both songs, and also from Nino Tempo.

These scenes, whch I re-edited, are taken from a 1983 documentary "DA DOO RON RON" by filmmaker Binia Tymieniecka - shown on UK TV 26/01/1985.

my father Patrick lacy produced this documentary back in 83 for channel 4 and met spector himself.though he didn't appear in the film. the original footage used was incredibly difficult to get hold of. there are some great interviews with the ramones and ronnie spector. if u get a chance to see the whole 90 min version, well worth checking out!

Yes, this was a really interesting documentary which I taped on it's first showing - I don't recall it ever being repeated on Ch 4. Will check out the other docs you mentioned.

You're the one throwing insults around.

1.Spector SAID it was an accidental SUICIDE!Big difference from ADMITTING it was an accident. 2.Just because you pulled out a gun before doesn't mean you'll kill someone later on.

3.He had only 2 blood splatters on his jacket. The bullet didn't exit her head which means all the blood and tissue had to come out through the mouth which means he would've been covered in blood. If he had stood beside her when he pulled the trigger then at least one of his sleeves would've been covered in blood.

The bullet didn't exit at the back of the head. Therefore all the blood, bone fragments and brain tissue had to exit through the mouth. It's simple physics. Therefore, if he had shot her then the front of his upper body would've been drenched with blood. He had only 2 splatters on the side of his jacket. Why? Because he was at least 10 feet away when the gun went off.

Well, it looks like we have an EXPERT sitting with us today! Please, despite ALL the evidence, and the fact that Phil Spector pulled a gun on four women prior to this, and that he stated "I think I just killed someone", and the witness? Oh, but you "know" somehow. While we are at it, tell me who killed Nicole Simpson too.

[Gary Mills]

Oh, ok Perry Mason, I'm glad YOU have such knowledge of the subject and were there to do the investigation and deliberation. Please, tell us who the REAL killer is. Can you tell us who also killed Nicole Simpson while you're at it? The evidence was stacked against him. He admitted the killing was "accidental". Regardless, he had pulled a gun on FOUR women prior in drunken rages. This time, he just happened to pull the trigger. Think before saying ignorant stuff that you have NO clue about.

the jury said he did...

[Alex Delarge]

Because Paul was bitter that an album of material that wasn't supposed to be released got released. Remember, George Harrison and John Lennon both were produced by Spector in the 70s and he gave George's All Things Must Pass a more expansive treatment than anything he's ever done before and it was a stereo recording.

[magicmike323]

He is a fucking weirdo, but he didn't kill her.
