alright, we know Spector did all those singles from the back to mono set, but what else has he done? i know he worked with the Ramones on Rock and roll High school (i think that's what it's called), I've heard Harrison's Let it down, which is produced by spector, did he do the rest of ALl things must Pass? obviously he did the let it be album. He worked with Lennon on the Rock and Roll album. What other projects what he involved with? what do you guys feel about these projects?

He did a pretty good/slightly boring album with Dion around '74ish and a craptastic record with leonard cohen later in the 70's.

Death of a Ladies Man is the name of the Cohen album and yes, it is craptastic! It was his first bad record. All other things Cohen are fantastic though.
Spector did do the entire All Things Must Pass album with George Harrison and it is among both of their best work IMO.
From what I have read, Spector also did some tracks with Celine Dion a few years back that were scrapped. I've read that Spector has threatened to release these tapes and Dion has taken action to block him so they must be pretty bad! Of course, anything involving Celine Dion is bad so these sessions must have been exceptionally bad!!

He did some work a couple of years ago with British Band Starsailor on their 2nd album I think, then they sacked him!
I really like the Dion album (Di mucci not Celine!!), but mainly down to Dions voice. The Leonard Cohen album is craptastic, though the title track is cool but the rest of it sounds literally like the sound of slow death.

Most notably Plastic Ono Band and Imagine (with scenes from the studio peppered throughout the movie of the same name).
Listening to POB is interesting when one considers that Spector, the master of the wall of sound, was asked to produce an album that never had more than Guitar or Piano, Bass, drums, and lead vocal. It could have been done on 4-track. This is part of the reason why the album works - Spector tried to make this minimalist instrumental approach sound like a wall of sound.

Dylan and BW both visited the Celine Dion sessions. What a waste.

Say it ain't so!! I would hope that Brian and especially Dylan would not desire to take part in a Celine Dion session.

Wow she could have covered "River Deep Mountain High", "These Times They Are A Chang-in" AND "Surfin' USA". Sung in an operatic style

Before Spector was arrested for murder, U2 and The Vines were talking with Spector about producing them.

U2 with Spector may have been very interesting if Edge and Bono came to the table with a set of quality songs, something they haven't done since the early 90's.
The Vines, well, I don't think they could do any worse than they already have!

I can think of several people who'd rather be charged with murder than work with U2

I for one am a HUGE fan of Death of a Ladies' Man! It's seriously one of my favourite albums. The Dion album (Born to be with You) is incredible as well. He did a full album with the Ramones (End of the Century), not just Rock 'N' Roll High School. The album as a whole isn't amazing (I think primarily due to songwriting, rather than Spector), but R&R Radio, R&R High School, and their rendition of Baby, I Love You are so amazing that they fully justify purchasing the album. Let's see, there's also the album the The Checkmates LTD (Love Is All We Have to Give). I know one of the songs off of that album is on the box set, but I don't remember which one, maybe the title song. It's a solid album, but I wouldn't call it groundbreaking. It's worth checking out, however--especially for the title cut and the Hair suite. There's Menlove Ave. by John Lennon (outtakes from the Rock & Roll sessions, many of which are produced by Phil). I have it but haven't yet listened to it, so I can't comment. There's Some Time in New York by John and Yoko. It's got some great cuts, but is a little boring overall for my tastes. He did CO-produce the entire All Things Must Pass album, obviously a MUST-HAVE if you don't already, as well as Concert for Bangla Desh. He also co-produced Seasons of Glass by Yoko Ono, which is wretched in my opinion, but I'm sure many people probably love it, so check it out and don't take my word for it.
