Wow. What a story. I’ve always been a big fan of Spector as a producer; he helped produce some of the most iconic music ever. His eccentric behaviour was also legendary, which is documented here in great detail featuring footage that is beyond rare. Absolutely riveting. Not just the story, but also the beautiful transfer to DVD by the geniuses at MVR. Perfect audio and video. Another wonderful offering available EXCLUSIVELY AT MVR. An absolute treat.
