A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Popular Reviews

There are no fillers here, just 10 shimmery, beautiful, danceable shoegaze pop songs. Perfection.

Sea Change is so pretty it hurts. Melancholy Beck is a vibe. This is his best album, but I’m partial to the slower, less funky ones (Mutations, Morning Phase, Modern Guilt) Love how the songs sound minimalist and maximalist at the same time; it’s very sophisticated. Favorite tracks: "Guess I'm Doing Fine", "Sunday Sun", “Lonesome Tears”, "Lost Cause" “Round The Bend” but there are zero skips. 5/5

Still fresh and what a voice! Highlights: Blue Suede Shoes, Blue Moon, Money Honey 5/5

Beautiful 🩵

It’s a Dinosaur Jr. 45 slowed down to 33.

Beautiful vocals, shimmery guitars. Very nice!

Like a warm hug. Loved it.

Strawberry Letter 23 is ❤️

4/5 Highlights are Love Her Madly, LA Woman, Riders On The Storm and the lovely Hyacinth House.

Perfect rock album.

I mean, it’s The Beatles 💙

It’s great!

Beautiful

Ridiculous at times but I love it.

This album hasn’t left my rotation since it was released. As good as it gets.

Who doesn’t love a Goth dance party? Of course the “hits” Dominion/Mother Russia, Lucretia My Reflection and This Corrosion are great. 1959 is special, too. 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Later Elvis truly is the best Elvis 🔥 Kentucky Rain, In The Ghetto, Suspicious Minds, True Love Travels Down A Gravel Road and Burt Bacharach’s lovely Any Day Now are superb.

Sara takes this 3 star to 4. It’s absolutely magical.

Doesn’t get much better than this.

Groove Is In The Heart is great! The resr not so much.

Hauntingly beautiful. Shimmering, ethereal, gothic, shoegaze/dream pop masterpiece. 5/5

❤️🤍❤️

Love Side 1, especially So Far Away 💙

I Want You To Want Me is still a banger. Surrender is fine. The rest is surprisingly low energy for a live recording.

Amazing. 80s perfection.

Baroque rock perfection. Just dandy 🩵

Perfect!

Theatrical happy vibes, plus ogres.

3. Didn’t like it as much as I did in 87. Sign Your Name is still pretty.

Fab!

Incredible 💜

A 2 but that Rita Coolidge piano bit is glorious

💜💜💜💜💜

Perfect
