The Crystals was the first group that famed record producer Phil Spector signed to his Philles record label. Their only #1 hit came in 1962 with “He’s a Rebel,” written by Gene Pitney. In one of Rock and Roll’s great ironies, it’s actually a girl-group known as the Blossoms fronted by Darlene Love who recorded the giant hit. Credit was given to the Crystals because Spector felt theirs was the more recognizable name. Blue label copies of the 45 are worth up to $50.00 while the album can fetch $500.00 today.
