I agree very much about his production of Let it Be, though he only uses the wall of sound method for 3 songs. But his wall of sound production on All Things Must Pass is absolutely teriffic, I think Harrison kept his ego in check and made sure it didn't compromise his songwriting. Which is usually the main issue with Spectors production method, it often seems like he's trying to outperform the musicians.
The production of All Things Must Pass does sound a bit overpowering in retrospect but I find it actually adds to songs like What is Life which benefit from being blasted in all their glory.


Anyway, as much as it deviates from the purpose of this thread, I feel I have to post this. Look no further than Fat Freddy's Drop for FANTASTIC production. Seriously, how do they manage to sound so good?
