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’.
