  • Teresa from Mechelen, BelgiumNot easy being a Phil Spector's fan living in Belgium. When I'm looking for a Spector's cd I go to different shops in Brussels to hear finally
    "Not available in Belgium, we can get it for you, but it takes at least a month". That's the way I got Phil Spector's "Back to Mono", "Greatest Hits" from The Teddy Bears and Phil Spector's
    "Flips and Rarities". I would like to have this one too, so if anyone can help me ... it would really be great. A Belgian Phil Spector's fan.
