Non-Fiction Biography

In December 2002 Phil Spector — legendary record producer, legendary recluse, legendary demented control freak — sat down on a sofa in his Los Angeles castle and gave his first major interview for twenty-five years. The journalist he talked to was Mick Brown.

Over the course of that day, Spector spoke with extraordinary candour about his life and career; his mercurial rise to become the most successful record producer of the sixties; the genius which had been both a blessing and a curse; his creation of a sound never before heard in music; his trademark ‘Wall of Sound’; his fragile mental state and his years on the brink of insanity. ‘I’ve been a very tortured soul’, said Spector. ‘I have not been happy. I have devils inside that fight me’.
