Edición que contiene esas sinfonías pop resultado de la superposición de instrumentos y melodías conocida como 'muro de sonido', una invención del genial productor, compositor y creador musical Phil Spector. Ver ese documental sobre su juicio por el asesinato de una camarera y actriz fracasada por el que se encuentra actualmente cumpliendo 19 años en prisión me llevó inevitablemente a volver a escuchar este material. El documental se llama 'La agonía y éxtasis de Phil Spector' y no se hacía ningún favor a sí mismo en él sacando a pasear en público su compleja personalidad o su enorme ego, comparándose sin tapujos con Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo o Einstein. Pero igualmente parecía tenerlo todo perdido de antemano ante un tribunal por su famosa afición desmedida por las armas, que le hacía mostrarlas a la mínima oportunidad (como pudieron comprobar en el Estudio de grabación Lennon, los Ramones o Leonard Cohen entre otros). Algunas de las pequeñas maravillas musicales de la música popular que se escuchan en esta caja fueron escritas por él y hablan veladamente sobre experiencias propias.
This edition contains many of those pop symphonies made of overlap of instruments and melodies that resulted in the so-called 'wall of sound', by great music producer Phil Spector. Watching a documentary about his trial for the murder of a waitress and failed actress, as a result of wich he is actually serving 19 years in prison, inevitably led me to go back to this collection of masterpieces. The documentary I'm referring to is called 'The Agony and Ecstasy of Phil Spector' and I guess it didn't do him any good for he shows with no shame his complex personality and big ego, comparing himself in there to Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo or Einstein. But the trial was probably already lost before hand because of his excessive fondness for weapons, holding them at any opportunity (as Lennon, Ramones or Leonard Cohen among others had the chance of suffering in the recording Studio). It should be noted that some of the little wonders of popular music appearing in this box set were written by him and the lyrics were purposely (some way or another) about personal issues.
