Title: Phil Spector Presents The Philles Album Collection [Box set] Post by: Daniel S. on August 30, 2011, 08:03:16 PM http://www.amazon.com/Spector-Presents-Philles-Album-Collection/dp/B005BSCQPI/ref=wl_mb_hu_m_5_dp Title: Re: Phil Spector Presents The Philles Album Collection [Box set] Post by: The Heartical Don on August 31, 2011, 02:30:51 AM Inexpensive. Originals. But: doubled/tripled tracks, and lots of filler. On the up side again: the B-sides thing, Uncle Phil made real zany B-sides.
So the verdict is still out. Well, perhaps I'll simply stick with my 1977 LPs and the Back To Mono box. They're nice, and since this year is breaking-the-bank year for BBs fans anyway...

Title: Re: Phil Spector Presents The Philles Album Collection [Box set] Post by: The Heartical Don on September 01, 2011, 01:32:22 AM No Ike and Tina album? I guess that is because it was on A&M. And half of the tracks sound like Phil had no hand in them (I have the vinyl one).

Seriously, somebody clue my uneducated mind in: what's the deal with that? All I've heard is his stuff on the christmas album, and I was not impressed. I skip it every time I listen to it. Did they do anything worth listening to?

Baby I Love you is also really good. No worse than some of the Crystals stuff.

Title: Re: Phil Spector Presents The Philles Album Collection [Box set] Post by: hypehat on November 15, 2011, 04:26:42 PM Depends what you're looking for - I'm put off by the fact that the second Crystals is all but identical to the first, for instance. But then you get the b-sides, which while they aren't WALL OF SOUND at least have the Wrecking Crew goofing off a bit, and the remastering's a bit lush. Am on the fence myself.
Title: Re: Phil Spector Presents The Philles Album Collection [Box set] Post by: MaxL on November 16, 2011, 07:11:20 AM To me this is worth it just for Presenting The Fabulous Ronettes... and the b-sides disc. Though the rest is also very much equally valid (although I echo the sentiments about including both Twist Uptown and He's a Rebel since they are mostly the same).
