Upon gazing at the original cover art for All Strung Out, one could assume that it was a sure sign that the early- to mid-'60s Brill Building music era was crumbling fast; here's Nino Tempo and April Stevens' "psychedelic" album. Actually, it's one of the few post-Spector era albums that holds that same production ethos. The songs may be a bit more "with it" (the title track, "You'll Be Needing Me, Baby," and "The Habit of Loving You"), but all drip with that Spector Wall of Sound production ripple and tinsel. And small wonder because the record was cut at Gold Star Studios, utilizing the famous Spector gang of session whizzes known as "the Wrecking Crew" and the same engineer, Larry Levine. Although originally released on a non-Spector involved label (White Whale), this is one album that true Spector fans would love to add to the collection. [Originally released in 1968, Rev-Ola reissued the LP on CD in 2003 and added bonus tracks.]
