Product Description
Album Description
* The third and final volume of Phil Spector soundalikes is the equal of the previous two in every way.
* A beguiling blend of fan favourites that we couldn't find room for on earlier volumes and tracks that we have spent years trying to license for this series, Phil's Spectre III features many selections that have never been legally reissued, appearing here from master tapes rather than from rare and worn 45s.
* The CD also features several first time stereos, alternate and extended mixes and tracks that have hitherto stayed unissued since their recording dates, over 40 years ago.
* The package features rare label shots and pix, and an authorative sleeve note from series co-compiler Mick Patrick.

So Ace's Wall Of Soundalikes series has made it to a third volume of Spectoralikes. Some of the more elusive titles that could not be tracked down or licensed for the previous sets have finally been nailed, and further examples from a seemingly bottomless well have been drawn, five of which were previously unreleased, at least in the exact form in which they appear. All are fulsomely annotated in the accompanying fat booklet. Familiar names from the extended Phil Spector family are again in evidence: Bill Medley, Jack Nitzsche, Ellie Greenwich, Bobby Sheen, Darlene Love, Sonny Bono; as well as a slew of new names some of whom had jumped onto the bandwagon in the hope of making a few bucks from their approximation of the Spector sound.
Among the most fascinating are Lesley Gore's Look Of Love, a single considerably more Spectorized than the original album version; Alder Ray sounding uncannily like Darlene Love on 'Cause I Love Him, with Darlene herself leading the chorus; the Girlfriends' My One And Only, Jimmy Boy, a rip-roaring explosion of a song, my favourite on the album and one I didn't previously know, the Girlfriends being members of the Blossoms and Bob B Soxx and the Blue Jeans; a rare acetate of the Satisfactions featuring Gracia Nitzsche on the oldie Yes Sir, That's My Baby, with Brian Wilson among the backing singers; a new mix of Judy Henske's 1966 cover of Shirley and Lee's Let The Good Times Roll; Bonnie (of Bonnie and the Treasures) with Close Your Eyes, her follow-up to Home Of The Brave, a classic yet to be anthologized in this series or on any other readily-available release; Martha and the Vandellas' fabulous if well known In My Lonely Room; Sonny and Cher's It's The Little Things, though virtually anything by the duo would have served; and Daniel A Stone's previously unreleased rendition of the Doc Pomus/Phil Spector song Young Boy Blues.
Elsewhere, however, there are occasional signs that the barrel may shortly begin to make sounds of scraping, and I would recommend turning to this only after having exhausted the first two Walls Of Soundalikes. Even though much of it is first rate, there is more competent blue-eyed soul and less inspired girl group sound than would be my preference. The notes mention that the compilers have in the main purposely eschewed versions of actual compositions by Phil Spector, and it seems that anything on his own labels, albeit not produced by the man, have also been avoided. It may be sensible to relax both of these rules if there is to be a Phil's Spectre IV.

I was really looking forward to this release, especially as it's the last in the series. But I was slightly dissappointed when I listened to it. If you are a fan of Spector's earlier Crytals and early-Ronettes-era productions you will probably love this collection. But, for anyone who prefers Spector's more sophisticated post-"Walking in the Rain" productions - there's less to excite the listener in this collection.
Jerry Ganey's two tracks are outstanding, as are those by Bonnie, George & Sonny Sands and Dan Folger. But the quality of some of the tracks doesn't match those on the other two volumes in the series - in my opinion. Even for those who don't favour early-Spector-style productions, there was no denying the quality of the songs on the previous collections, not so with this third volume.
Any number of the songs on this collection could have been dropped in favour of better Spector sound-a-likes, such as Gene McDaniels' "Hang On", Malcolm Hayes' "It's Not Easy", "Ruby&The Romantics' "Does He Really Care For Me" or any of the other four Clydie King Liberty-Records issued tracks (Bobby Sheen's "Sweet Sweet Love" is no match for any of Clydie's tracks, no matter what the liner notes tell you).
Too many disc-dubs and poor song selection mar what is a beautifully presented and well researched CD. If you have the other volumes already you may find much to your liking here, but it doesn't compare to the other volumes in my opinion.
In the end, it's a matter of personal taste.

Interesting the way pop music develops.Phil Spector began by copying the Aquatones and the Fleetwoods before the Chantels informed his first production on the Philles label.
The rest is history-the more Spector landed hit singles which by then were using a mass of overdubs the more other labels moved in to copy.
In the U K this kind of thing was being done more shambolically by Joe Meek a man who would take an artist as an excuse to promote himself thus making eventually the producer a bigger name than the artist
Here in 3 volumes are some of those copies
