Title: The Ronettes on vinyl
Post by: SMiLE Brian on May 25, 2011, 02:32:23 PM
I just bought the Ronettes album on vinyl and i am amazed at the quality of the album compared to the CD versions of those songs. I wonder if anybody could buy Phil's catalog and remaster these songs properly because now I realise Brian Wilson wasn't crazy praising Phil Spector like he does.

I have the original on Philles records, red and yellow label.   And it DOES sound better tha digital.  As do my Philles 45's.  Its the way I first heard them.

I got the mid 1970s reissue of the album from a vinyl store that didn't know the real value because i got it for 20 dollars compared to the 100 dollars it was going for on ebay. Be my Baby was AMAZING the first time i heard it on vinyl.

Is that the Phil Spector Int'l label? A subsidiary of Polydor?

I have that. And the Xmas album in true stereo. And the two unmissable Rare Masters Albums. And the Crystals. Lucky me... :hat

 I got the one from Phil Spector Int'l label and it sounds great when i listen to it. I found it funny on the notes on the cardboard sleeve of the album talking of Brian Wilson liking be my baby a whole lot.  :-D
