On Friday, Spector was given a sentence of 15 years to life for second-degree murder and an additional four years for personal use of a gun.
The presiding judge at the court in Los Angeles said Spector must serve at least 19 years before being eligible for parole – by which time he will be 88 years old.
Spector, now 69, is infamous for developing his wall of sound recording technique which needless to say has influenced millions. The video above is of Jeff Mangum (Neutral Milk Hotel) playing “I Love How You Love Me” originally by Spector. The recording is from his infamous performance at Jittery Joe’s in ‘97 and can be found in its entirety and much better visual quality on Pitchfork.tv for the week.
