Spector trial causing buzz

By MICHAEL RECHTSHAFFEN -- Sun Media

HOLLYWOOD -- It seems like it has been ages since we've had a juicy celebrity trial in these parts worthy of a Robert Blake or a Michael Jackson.

 

But things are definitely looking promising this week, with jury selection commencing in the murder trial of famed music producer and firearms enthusiast Phil Spector.

 

Four years ago the man who brought his trademark "Wall of Sound" recording techniques to acts as diverse as the Beatles, Leonard Cohen and the Ramones, was arrested after B-movie actress Lana Clarkson was found shot to death in his sprawling castle of a home outside of Pasadena.

 

While the reclusive Spector has always proclaimed his innocence, insisting that Clarkson's death was an accidental suicide, prosecutors aren't buying the "kissed the gun" defence.

 

When he showed up outside the courthouse on Monday, Spector's appearance was a far cry from the mad-scientist look he was sporting back in 2003, with his grey fright wig replaced by a sleeker, blonder number.

 

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the judge has permitted TV cameras in the courtroom, when the trial begins April 30.

 

And while Spector's defence team might be looking for prospective jurors who are familiar with his artistic contributions, don't expect Celine Dion to be among them.

 

Back in 1998 the two were supposed to work on songs for her Falling Into You album, but the brief collaboration ended on a sour note, although the official word from Dion's camp was that prior European tour commitments didn't allow sufficient time for Spector to work his magic.

 

Mind you, the CD did include a Celine cover of River Deep, Mountain High, the song Spector originally produced for Tina Turner, and that title probably sums up just how close they came to agreeing on material.

I forgot... what is actually the problem with those songs? Why can't they be released? Some rights stuff?

After all I heard about this colaboration I don't ever want to listen to these songs. Not worth it, even it those were the best songs ever written.

Even though there is negativity surrounding the collaboration between Celine and Spector, I would still love to hear the records. I mean, afterall, it is Celine's voice.

How hard it is to spell René's name correctly? :unsure: Sorry but it's kind of annoying. It's René. Is not that hard.

:mellow: If there are any unreleased recordings done with Phil Spector (if any were done at all) I would like to hear them but I have a feeling that will never happen. It's unfortunate that such a creative genius like Phil Spector, who obviously has had a great track record with everything he did in the sixties has to have so many demons and be so hard to work with. Even though I would have loved to have heard songs that he would have produced with Celine it's probably better for Celine's sake that all of that is passed.

If Phil Spector owns the masters of the recordings then only HE can release them. I do believe that they had recording sessions and hopefully one day we will hear them. Phil may be nuts but he is a musical genius as a producer and I think the recordings will be quite incredible. Remember that Celine's voice was in peak condition when she recorded Falling Into You, so it's gotta be incredible. It's been 10 years though and nothing has leaked out :evil:

 

We can only hope.....

But wasn't the problem that in order those recordings to be released both Phil and Celine have to agree? Because of the rights or some legal stuff...

What about River Deep, Mountain High? It has been removed from Live A Paris and Memphis DVDs. Is that problem solved? Just think that the A New Day DVD will be the first time we'll get that song officially on video :w00t: (besides the out-of-print Canadian VHS version of LAP)

Yeah I have only the VHS of Live A Paris but didn't even know there was a DVD of it. Are there extas on the dvd?? That sucks that they took OFF River Deep... I sooo love that song and she does an incredible version in A New Day.
