A Passage about Producer Phil Spector & John Lennon:

I was reading this wonderful book called SONIC ALCHEMY and would like to share something from the passage... I had no idea about this at all... Defiantly something you don't hear about.

This is after being forced to Re-locate to Record Plant West from getting kicked out of A&M studios during one of producer Phil Spector and John Lennon's studio rages...

- The endless sessions came to a final grinding halt after Spector punched Lennon's longtime friend Mal Evans in the nose. Before Evans could retaliate, Spector brandished his pistol in front of Lennon and shot a hole in the studio ceiling. Totally freaking out, the ex-Beatle yelled,

"Phil, if you're gonna kill me, kill me. But don't f***k with me ears. I need 'em."

(This was the end of their partnership)***

For any of you that don't know who Phil Spector is, he truly was an early pioneer along with George Martin in the 60's... (But, boy was he crazy at times)

Did anyone know that he is still locked up for the shooting death of a female visitor that occurred at his Alhambra, California mansion in February 2003?

"Spector has since been released from custody and has not been charged with any wrongdoing in the ongoing investigation."

How crazy!!!!
