Philles Records was a record label formed in 1961 by Phil Spector and Lester Sill, the label taking its name from a hybrid of their first names. Initially, the label was distributed by Jamie/Guyden in Philadelphia. In 1962, Spector purchased Sill's stock to become sole owner, at a mere 21 years of age America's youngest label chief. The label issued twelve albums over the course of its existence, but with the exception of A Christmas Gift for You, the focus was always on the single.

  • Philles Records was a record label formed in 1961 by Phil Spector and Lester Sill, the label taking its name from a hybrid of their first names. Initially, the label was distributed by Jamie/Guyden in Philadelphia. In 1962, Spector purchased Sill's stock to become sole owner, at a mere 21 years of age America's youngest label chief. The label issued twelve albums over the course of its existence, but with the exception of A Christmas Gift for You, the focus was always on the single. By most accounts, 39 singles were issued on the label. However, Philles 125 is a reissue of Philles 119, with the B-side "Winter Wonderland" substituted for the original flipside, "Harry and Milt Meet Hal B. " (This, and many other flipsides, were deliberately undistinguished instrumentals, which were intended to focus attention on the A-sides. At first they were credited to the A-side artists, later to the 'Phil Spector Group'. ) Also, most discographies, including the one in the Back to Mono booklet, list two items with catalogue number Philles 123: "Stumble And Fall" by Darlene Love was withdrawn and replaced with "Walking in the Rain" by The Ronettes. Despite the prior claim that Philles 134, 135, and 136 were not released in the United States, promo and regular stock copies of all 3 exist, as well as the withdrawn Darlene Love single listed above. The withdrawn "(Let's Dance) The Screw" by The Crystals only exists as promo copies. All singles were produced by Spector, with five exceptions: Philles 101, 103, and 104 were produced by Sill prior to his departure from the company; Philles 133 by Jeff Barry, and Philles 134 by Bob Crewe. None of the non-Spector productions charted, while every one of Spector's productions made the charts in the U.S. , with the exceptions of Philles 132, one of the two Philles 123's, the withdrawn Philles 105, and the holiday single both times. Eighteen Philles records made the Top 40, the label topping the charts twice with Philles 106 in 1962, and again with Philles 124 in 1965. The label ceased operations in 1967, and Spector did not return to production work for another two years. The Philles catalog is now owned by EMI.
  • Philles Records var et plateselskap stiftet i 1961 av Phil Spector og Lester Sill. Selskapsnavnet er en sammensetning av deres fornavn. Allerede året etter kjøpte Spector ut Sill og ble eneeier i en alder av 21 år og ble slik USAs yngste plateutgiver. Selskapet ga ut 12 musikkalbum, men bortsett albumet A Christmas Gift for You hadde selskapet hele tiden fokus på gi ut singler. Selskapet ga ut 39 kjente singler, men utgivelsesnummer Philles 125 er en nyutgivelse av Philles 119 med en annen B-side hvor «Winter Wonderland» klokelig ble byttet ut med «Harry and Milt Meet Hal B». I tillegg har de fleste oversikter også tatt med Back to Mono-samlingen og tatt med to utgivelser med katalognummer Philles 123: «Stumble And Fall» med Darlene Love og «Walking in the Rain» med The Ronettes. Philles 134, 135 og 136 ble bare gitt ut utenfor USA. Alle singlene ble produsert av Spector, bortsett fra fem unntak: Philles 101, 103 og 104 som ble produsert av Sill før han forlot selskapet; Philles 133 av Jeff Barry og Philles 134 av Bob Crewe. Ingen av disse kom inn på hiot-listene, mens alle Spectors produksjoner ble med bare fire unntak notert på hit-listene i USA. 18 singler fra Philles records kom på Top 40 og selskapet hadde på topplasseringer med Philles 106 i 1962 og igjen med Philles 124 i 1965. Selskapet avsluttet arbeidet i 1967 og Spector hadde da en to-års opphold som plateprodusent.
