Put on your headphones, MIH, because here are the Ronettes in glorious S-T-E-R-E-O!
This was taken from a used British LP I bought at Cheapo Records in Central Square, Cambridge, MA for five bucks in the early 80’s. Cheapo is still there, halfway between M.I.T. and Harvard.
Recorded by Larry Levine at Gold Star Studios in L.A. Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass? Recorded by Larry Levine at Gold Star Studios. In a few days it will be ten years since Levine’s death. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/larry-levine-gold-star-recording-engineer-who-played-a-crucial-role-in-the-building-of-phil-spectors-827025.html
Wow! Thank you Doug that was truly wonderful, now I feel like I should go out and replace my brand new Ronettes CD with a stereo version. Back to mono indeed.
Nothing gives me the chills like the creepy WALL OF SOUND! Which I first noticed in “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin.'” Ronnie’s voice is so clear and sharp it can puncture your ear drum! Phil IS still in jail, isn’t he?
