This Greatest Hits album by The Crystals was released in 1975 by Phil Spector Records as volume 3 in the Phil Spector Wall of Sound series.

Cover design by Grant Smith at WadeWood Associates, with art direction from Ian Murray, featuring a reproduction of the 1963 cover for He’s a Rebel, surrounded by photographs and newspaper clippings. The band name is shown in slanted Starlight with a custom line shadow. “The” is probably custom lettering. Other fonts in use include Eurostile Light Extended and Akzidenz-Grotesk Condensed. The rounded sans used for “Phil Spector Wall of Sound Vol. 3” is Chicago Medium Condensed.

See also volume 1 (The Ronettes) and volume 2 (Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans) from this series.
