Interesting though somewhat disturbing read, definitely gives some insight into how twisted Brian and Landy's dynamic was. Brian comes off as almost a different person in his quotes, he's certainly come a long way since then.
I've got to say, seems like Russ Titelman was the album's unsung hero, it probably never would have gotten done without him.
