Arranger ​​ Arti Butler remembers that Spector "asked me to listen to the song... I decided that in its current form it has no potential, but I heard it in my head. On told: "Go to studio and make what you hear, and I will pay for it". Butler prepared a backing track for "Sally"... in the Broadway studio in Ad Sullivans Theatre.

Sessions took place within a week, and their cost was 60,000 dollars, unreasonable amount of time and money for one track. According to Johnny Louise Richardson: "Spector involved any who came to studio this week in record. Originally, I think, he had about 20 voices on "Sally...".
Butler remembers that Spector heard a track only when it was finished, he hated it. On was very angry. On felt that I spent his money". Butler lost a track to Gerry Leyber and Mike Stoller who suggested to buy it from Spector: interest of the duet forced Spector to reconsider the relation to "Sally...", and it let out her as a single of The Jaynetts group with a tool path on the party of B. Butler claimed that "Sally"... brought it 3 dollars.
