Description
Harvey Phillip Spector was widely considered to be the first true auteur record producer. His trademark “Wall of Sound” can be heard on albums by The Beatles, The Ramones, The Righteous Brothers, The Ronettes, and so many more. Artists like Brian Wilson and John Lennon have called him “the greatest record producer of all time”, but a chaotic personal life and penchant for violence were simmering beneath the surface. It would all culminate in 2003, when actress Lana Clarkson was found dead from a single gunshot wound in Spector’s home. This week, we’re asking the question: Is Phil Spector the worst? Content warning: This episode contains graphic depictions of violence and domestic abuse.
