The recording session for the instrumental track for "My One and Only Baby" (the pre-production working title, later changed to "Be My Baby") was over three and a half hours long.
Phil Spector micro-managed the members of "The Wrecking Crew" and several other studio musicians to build his "Wall of Sound".
The names of the key musicians in the crew can be found at various sites online, but I've never been able to find the name of whoever played the castanets!
SIDE EFFECTS WARNING: If you listen to all 21 minutes, the music will be stuck in your head all day (or even several days).
