Book Reviews of Tearing Down the Wall of Sound: The Rise and Fall of Phil Spector (Vintage)

Book Review: Fabulous
Summary: 5 Stars

I listen rather than read. Approx. 3 years ago I listened for the first time. Back then I thought very good. A few days ago I decided to revisit this book. Surprise, it's a brand new book from what I remembered.
Phil Spector is depicted in depth as is the business of the Rock & Roll business. Making this a fasinating saga. Words are not wasted here so there are no rambling scenes and extended explanations.
Bottom line I love this book. Pretty sure I'll be visiting again in a year or three.
