I still wish I knew the year of Ringo's party.

Ac tually I thought it was 1991. Someone should ask Ringo!

Quote
due to the fact that  his sound doesnt transfer as well to cd and the digital age in general, as well  as the brian wilson sound does

That could be it. I've never heard anything on 45. I was reading a quote from Brian where he said something like hearing cds of some of his favorite music wasn't as good as the original 45s because, in his words, they "sound squished like sh*t".

On the bright side...maybe Phil's comment will stoke Brian's "Murray-Wilsonian" competitive side, a la 1966 -- as with him and the Beatles!!  I could sure use a new album from Brian.

I rather doubt that particular comment will reach Brian's eyes or ears.

This is one case where I'd support Melinda for sheltering Brian.

When Brown asked Spector who his closest friends were, he presciently replied, "My attorneys."

That sounds like another person famously known as Mike Love. Of course, just to be fair, Mike never killed anyone. But I have heard somewhere that Mike has been abusive to some women. Is there any truth to that?

I do like Spectors new blonde Byrds-like wig, it is (slightly) more understated than his giant afro look he was sporting a couple of years ago.

If it was for Ringo or his wife Barbara's birthday it could not of been 1998 as I wrongly guessed because I have an June 1998 Uncut magazine that mentions it. I would go with 1992 or 1997 becaue those are the years Brian helped with Ringo's recordings. BTW get Back To Mono on vinyl it sounds terrific that way.

Screw Spector. Brian went above and beyond him without a doubt. Spector must have an inferiority complex.

I caught a bit of the Court TV coverage this afternoon, which was mostly a recap, since the trial was delayed.  Ashleigh Banfield was disgusted by Phil's statements on Springsteen, including that Bruce stole the Wall of Sound and that some of Bruce's albums are repetitive, song-wise.  I don't think that makes him more likely to be guilty of murder, though, the fact that he's trashing these people.

I'm not impressed with the prosecutor's case thusfar, and Phil's attorneys seem to be doing a good job.  I have no idea what happened, but it doesn't look like Phil pulled the trigger.  It's going to be interesting to see the prosecution's full case and theory about what happened.  Banfield was repeating a rumor that Yoko Ono and Keith Richards will be called as character witnesses, but my understanding is that that was said to be false as of last week.

Phil was very talented.  I think I speak for alot of BW/BB fans when I say that Phil's talent could be summed up in just eight words:

Larry Levine
Jack Nitzsche
Wrecking Crew
Brill Building

Think about covers it! LOL

I don't know if that's entirely true.  Phil came up with a lot of ideas on his own, such as having multiple instruments playing the same melodic line.  And the idea of mastering/mixing in the red, practically to the point of distortion, was also his.  But I do agree that he would have been nowhere without having professional arrangers providing the preliminary ideas and sketching out Phil's other ideas to the studio musicians.  And having those studio musicians carry it out. Not to mention the great songwriters.  Oh, and one more -- the singers!  He would have been nowhere without his act's vocal talents, as well as their images, to sell his songs.

On a serious note though, it does seem that without Brian getting a kick up the butt from his cousin (who saw a way out of the Gas station) he might never have gone into music at all. That Mike may have been serving himself more is neither here nor there...

Sonny Bono?  Darlene Love?  Ronnie Spector?  Some other tremendously talented singers?

Speaking of the Wrecking Crew, Andrew, I hope you read the minor altercation between Hal Blaine and your favourite bass player in the new Uncut  Evil
