John Prine - Long Monday (Official Lyric Video)
John Prine 2005
2015 Bodensee, painting is from the ~1990s, Home Stereo set up: I tried to build and arrange with the epitome of Phil Spector's 'Wall Of Sound' vibe. The loudspeakers in the middle row are big volume, through big cabinet speakers, SONY's from the 70s, loudly if I am alone, and still in use.
Notes by Anthony Reichardt: - Out of Los Angeles, recorded October 1964 in studio 'A' at Gold Star Recording Studio, this is 'take 38' and 'take 39' of the basic rhythm track before the addition of strings, background choir and lead vocals for the tune which would go to be named by BMI as the most played record of the 20th century. The epitome of Phil Spector's 'Wall Of Sound', it's a very interesting perspective to hear the construction of one of his most majestic productions. Note: The studio shot in this video of the 'Wrecking Crew' shows drummer HAL BLAINE. For the "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" (The Beach Boys did a cover of the song "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'," which was originally recorded by the Righteous Brothers and written by Phil Spector, Barry Mann, and Cynthia Weil) session, it was drummer EARL PALMER behind the kit.
Wall of Sound: signature Wall of Sound consisted of one or two or three pianos, four or five or six guitars, as many bassists, drummers and percussionists, all playing together, precisely, and recorded with preternatural care to form a tsunami of aural effect.
@AnthonyReichardt Thanks Anthony! I appreciate your vast knowledge. Your good taste in music can not be disputed.
