Musician Bob Glaub Recalls Chaotic John Lennon & Phil Spector 1973 "Rock N' Roll" Recording Sessions

[@tombeyerlein3813]

Even as a teenager, I thought the Wall of Sound treatment killed the potential of that Lennon album. It was smothering.

[@ShiddyFinkelstein]

It didn't work for me. It ruined All Things Must Pass too.

[@JohnBock-nq9lr]

​@ShiddyFinkelstein I used to think that too . .....however, it finally hit me and spoke to me and I felt it's eminence. ATMP is extraordinary .

[@tombeyerlein3813]

ATMP was Mud City. Fine material buried in glop. Again, even as a teen I found the production awful.

Almost interesting.

[@larryzink8978]

I wore that record out, John's later solo work has that same glassy big hollywood atmosphere. He dug it.

First time I heard of Bob Glaub was at a Jackson Browne concert long ago. Jackson Browne introduced his bass player: “On bass, Bob Glaub. More bounce to the ounce!”

[@alldayvinyl]

Bob is awesome and he still plays bass with Jackson! Nearly 50 years they have been playing together ❤️

[@p18hux]

Great to hear this story, Bob!

[@BobWadeGuitar]

Legendary. Love his lines on "The Pretender".

[@rao4sos]

Great. Everybody in town loved Bob.

Great story from Bob Glaub. Big Part of that California Sound when record companies ruled the day.

[@WilliamPoliard]

Keltners drum on U Can't Catch Me was a direct steal from David Essex, Rock On. But so very impressive. All those triplets with the Jamaican jib. That freshened that tunes groove. Loose but so precise. Lennon's vox at that time we're fully fledged. Whatta bout all the packs of cigs and dirty ashtrays ??? Ahhhhh youth.

[@alldayvinyl]

Blaine and Keltner on drums .. wow 🔥

[@johncopeland3826]

He was superb at Glastonbury as part of the CSN Band ...they were all tighter than two coats of paint ..brilliant musician - Mr Glaub .

[@10MinuteGuitarJams]

Saw him with Jackson Browne a few years back, band were incredible. Illya Kuryakin's son on guitar!

I LOVED MY AMPEG AMP, 12 IN SPEAKERS...

[@BILLYMORGAN1971]

John didn't call him Adolph? I always read these were insane sessions. Afterwards Phil turned into Pee Wee Herman...before Pee Wee was as high as a vodka bottle(Smirnoff btw used to sell a 1 gallon version which was 20 inches tall with dispenser and like 4 inches wide. source ebay)and decided he was going to take the master tapes. I heard the gun story before and some other stories about Spector and surprise surprise they were major red flags.

[@alldayvinyl]

Wild times it sounded like

[@BILLYMORGAN1971]

@@alldayvinyl Bob sounds straight..John and Phil on the other hand....Remember Yoko and John were fighting so Yoko basically gave May to him. Phil was just insane, psychotic.

[@jnagarya519]

"Strawberry Fields Forever" is the greatest recording ever made. That's why Specter ended up in court wearing a freak-wig and in prison and dying of COVID.

[@rjaraneta913]

The Phil Spector recording sessions for Lennon's Rock 'N' Roll was 1973, not 1975. Lennon finished it a year later without Spector and released it in 1975.

[@alldayvinyl]

I fixed that thx for pointing that error out

[@BuffaloBeatle]

Phil’s made better records than River Deep Mountain High. A shame he was not at all okay in the head because he recorded great tracks. I liked his productions.

[@alldayvinyl]

Yah made some great records and also a psycho

[@ROOKTABULA]

What?! He's a murderer. _That's_ the "shame".

[@marykolar7319]

What an awful sounding record-bloated and over-produced. I guess Phil subscribed to the "more is more" philosophy...........
