No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: The Ronettes.

Cut in mono, parts of Spector’s big orchestrations were obscured or lost completely. Phil willingly parted with them. His sound was an overview, a primordial feel of joyful noise, although many technical people in the business could not comprehend it. In New York, removed from Larry Levine and his unspoken command, engineers would jump on Phil about his decibel level and the resulting distortion of sound, to little avail. “He’d say, 1 don’t care if the dials jump off the meters, I want it to sound distorted,’ ” Arnold Goland said, “so what would happen is, on the master the needle would literally jump out of the grooves, that’s how loud it was cut. Sometimes there’d be recalls on his records and he’d have to do them all over again. But he didn’t care. He was going after what he wanted.”
