| Love this sound. Just saw BRMC in SF the other night, which is the closest band with that sound today. Wailing guitars, hand-clapping and tambourines.

That opening drumbeat has probably been used in scores of songs , but the opening chord sequence is different from that of The Ronettes' "Be My Baby". That may not stop Phil Spector from trying to sue though - this band was seemingly going for the "wall of sound" production in this number. |
| I just love those guitars.

The song, a Phil Spector wall-of-sound classic, played over the opening scene of Scorcese's Mean Streets. I thought this also as it is exactly the same beat. And I was really disappointed when the Ronnettes didn't chime in! However, it gets a 7 in my book. |

This was on your "Sorriest" CD.
Yeah I uploaded it and it got sorried. Then the movie came out and someone else must have uploaded it again... Better late than never I guess. It was upload # 4150 by the way. They're in the 45000 area now... |
