　　这是一套难以置信的经典合辑，精选了1958－1969年间美国众多音乐人的巅峰之作（Phil Spector是当时的一个大制作人，并不是歌手）。这些音乐人的名字或许已经被人遗忘，甚至从来就没有多少人知道，但他们创作和演唱的这些歌曲却为无数后人传唱至今。当我们听起这些歌曲，不难发现许多熟悉的旋律，而如果我们细细研究专辑中的曲目，则不难看到像《Unchained Melody》这样的绝对经典。
　　这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第64位，也是TOP100中唯一的群星专辑。

　　At the time Back to Mono was released in 1991, Phil Spector's reputation as one of pop's great visionaries was intact, but there was no way to hear his genius. It wasn't just that there were no collections spotlighting his productions, there weren't collections of artists he produced. It wasn't until Back to Mono that there was a thorough overview of Spector's greatest work, and while it's not without flaws, it still stands as one of the great box sets. Some may complain that there are no selections from his superstar '70s productions for John Lennon, George Harrison, Leonard Cohen, and the Ramones, but that's for the best, since their presence would have been incongruous, taking attention away from the music that forms the heart of Spector's legacy. All of that music is here, not just on the first three discs, all devoted to singles, but also on the fourth disc, his seminal 1963 holiday album, A Christmas Gift for You, which isn't just the greatest rock Christmas album, but a crystallization of his skills. It could be argued that the song selection overlooks some obscure fan favorites, such as "Do the Screw," but that's simply nitpicking, because what's here are all the great Spector records, which were hardly just great productions, they were great songs as well. As the set plays, it's hard not to be stunned by the depth of the material and clarity of Spector's vision for his famed Wall of Sound, whether you've heard these songs hundreds of times or not at all — especially because they gain power when grouped together. Many producers have been credited as the true creative force behind many rock records, but usually that's hyperbole. In Spector's case, it wasn't, as this set gloriously proves.
