2009 Christmas Song Of The Day 12
Yesterday was an updated take on the Phil Spector sound, but there’s nothing quite like the real thing, so today it’s The Ronettes from the Phil Spector Christmas Album for you.

Christmas Song Of The Day 21
Digging into the now classic A Christmas Gift For You album produced by Phil Spector for my favorite version of this song. Here’s a trivia fact for you, this album was originally released on the same day that JFK was assasinated in November 1963 and was pretty much ignored by a public with much larger issues to deal with. It has since gone on to be heralded as one of the great Christmas albums of all time, even inspiring Bruce Springsteen’s cover of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town along the way.

5 On A Friday : Girls In Their Summer Clothes
One more Springsteen influenced post today. If you’ve heard Girls In Their Summer Clothes off of the new Magic album you’ve heard the wall of sound production inspired by Phil Spector‘s work in the late fifties early sixties. Though not all of these were produced by Phil Spector, they all employ the wall of sound production style Bruce is emulating.
