“THE RONETTES” WEREN’T THE MOST COMMERCIALLY SUCCESSFUL GIRL GROUP,
BUT THEIR MUSIC WAS SOME OF THE MOST GROUNDBREAKING IN THE FIELD, THANKS TO
THEIR ASSOCIATION WITH THE LEGENDARY WALL OF SOUND PRODUCER PHIL SPECTOR.
THEIR BIGGEST HIT, “BE MY BABY”, IS WIDELY REGARDED AS ONE OF THE CROWNING
ACHIEVEMENTS OF SPECTOR’S OEUVRE, AND OF GIRL-GROUP POP IN GENERAL ... IN
FACT, MANY CRITICS HAVE DEEMED IT ONE OF THE MOST SUPREMELY ROMANTIC
RECORDS OF THE ROCK & ROLL ERA ; SPECTOR’S PRODUCTION FRAMES THE SONG’S
YEARNING LYRICS AND RONNIE BENNETT’S SWEETLY SULTRY VOCALS IN A SWEEPING,
NEAR-SYMPHONIC LEVEL OF EMOTION - - - EVEN THOUGH “THE RONETTES” NEVER
MANAGED ANOTHER HIT AS BIG AS “BE MY BABY” , MANY OF THEIR SUBSEQUENT
SINGLES BOASTED THE SAME KIND OF CREATIVE SYNERGY BETWEEN SPECTOR AND
BENNETT. IT APPARENTLY CARRIED OVER INTO REAL LIFE AS WELL, SINCE THE TWO
WERE MARRIED IN 1968, NOT LONG AFTER BENNETT WENT SOLO. UNFORTUNATELY,
THE UNION WAS AN UNHAPPY ONE, AS SPECTOR SOON TURNED RECLUSIVE AND
CONTROLLING, LARGELY PREVENTING HER FROM RECORDING (OR EVEN LEAVING THE
HOUSE) ... AFTER THEIR DIVORCE, SHE RECORDED SPORADICALLY WITHOUT MUCH
SUCCESS, BUT BECAME SOMETHING OF A FEMALE ROCK ICON WHEN SHE PUBLISHED
HER SURVIVOR’S-TALE AUTOBIOGRAPHY. THIS VERY RARE 1965 BRITISH ALBUM WAS
ISSUED IN 1965 AND CONTAINS RECORDINGS THE GROUP DID IN 1961 AND 1962 FOR
“COLPIX” AND “DIMENSION” LABELS WITH RONNIE BENNETT DOING MOST OF THE
VOCALS... THE THICK AND LUSTREOUS VINYL RECORD IS IN GORGEOUS CONDITION,
PROBABLY JUST PLAYED ONCE OR TWICE ; NICE JACKET WITH FLIPJACKS ON BACK
AND THIS ELUSIVE R&B ALBUM ALSO COME WITH ITS ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE.
