Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Phil Spector during his erratic mid-70s period, 'Born to Be With You' envelopes Dion DiMucci's street-corner swagger in a crushingly dense, melancholic Wall of Sound. Initially a commercial failure, the album鈥檚 dark, lushly orchestrated grandeur has since been reassessed as a baroque-pop masterpiece.
