PHIL SPECTOR PRESENTS THE PHILLES ALBUM COLLECTION, with its seven CDs and 87 tracks, now far supercedes the 20-year old 1991 box set, Back To Mono (1958-1969) (ABKCO). The latter housed three compilation CDs, and a reissue of 1963’s A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector. In October 2009, the Philles catalog came to Sony Music as the result of a licensing agreement with EMI Music Publishing. Not long after, a newly-remastered version of A Christmas Gift for You found a permanent home in the new Phil Spector Records/Legacy catalog.

Strictly speaking, Phil Spector wasn't even a performer – he was a musician, but he very rarely released records under his name. As a producer, however – and, to a significant extent, songwriter, label owner, and session player – he influenced the course of rock & roll more than all but a handful of performers. The Wall of Sound that he perfected in the early '60s led to unlimited possibilities for arrangements and sound construction in rock and pop, and his brilliant talents imprinted the discs that he produced with an artistic vision that was much more attributable to him than to the talented performers with whom he worked.

75 songs from some of the greatest female vocalists to have ever recorded. Heavyweights such as Etta James, Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner share the bill with the likes of The Cookies, Mitty Collier and Esther Phillips. Hear why At Last was Sung by Beyonce at Obama s inauguration and why Aretha Franklin has 18 Grammys to her name and has sold over 75 millions records worldwide.
