This clip is taken from the FULL DVD "Leonard Cohen Under Review 1934-1977". In 1977 Cohen decided to try a new style of music and started working with Phil Spector, a well known producer. Shortly after the beginning of the recording session Cohen discovered that Spector was a heavy drinker and was acting like a tyrant, arguing with Cohen on every musical decision.
I'm not too crazy about the whole album, but the album's best moments rank with Cohen's best work.

Love that record! Great sound, production and lyrics!
Spec made Cohen sing and shout and show his feelings instead of just breathing into mic with his usual starbucks-friendly voice.I don't think Larry Levine should be apologising for it.
I know lots of people who love that album.
And as for "this record just sucks" guy? Fuck you,and your 4$ shirt, you fingersniffer -))))

I think the album has lots of great moments and a great sound.
Why do people find this album so strange, while the keyboard overloaded, synthetic 'Various Positions' doesn't seem to be a problem at all for them? That 1980s album sounds as if Cohen ended up on some cheap label. And on the next two albums the synths are joined by a hoarse voice, without anyone complaining.
