LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

The third and final volume of Phil Spector soundalikes is the equal of the previous two in every way.

A beguiling blend of fan favourites that we couldn't find room for on earlier volumes and tracks that we have spent years trying to license for this series, Phil's Spectre III features many selections that have never been legally reissued, appearing here from master tapes rather than from rare and worn 45s.

The CD also features several first time stereos, alternate and extended mixes and tracks that have hitherto stayed unissued since their recording dates, over 40 years ago.

The package features rare label shots and pix, and an authorative sleeve note from series co-compiler Mick Patrick.

A series finale that goes out with not so much a single gunshot as an almighty bang. Like Spector's own catalogue - and quite possibly like the man himself - it's "All Killer, No Filler"...
