Rachelle Spector said the note was given to her husband by a corrections officer at Corcoran State Prison, KTLA-TV, Los Angeles, reported.
"A guard brought Philip a note from Manson, who said he wanted him to come over," she said. "He said he considers Philip the greatest producer who ever lived. It was creepy. Philip didn't respond."
Manson and members of his "family" were convicted of several 1969 murders, including that of Sharon Tate, the pregnant wife of director Roman Polanski. At the time, Manson, who had ambitions to be a rock star, lived with his followers on a ranch that had been used as a film set.
Spector, 68, was sentenced to 15 years to life for killing Lana Clarkson, a B-movie actress.
Hal Lifson, Spector's publicist, said his client was "alarmed and scared" by the note.
"Phil mentioned that he used to get phone calls from John Lennon and Tina Turner and now it's Charles Manson calling, so he said, 'Go figure,' " Lifson told KTLA.
A prison spokeswoman said the note may have been a prank.

Phony Story About Charles Manson contacting Phil Spector
PRISON OFFICIALS SAY HOAX! PHONY CHARLES MANSON STORY FROM TEAM SPECTOR
Fabricated Story Came from Team Spector
Los Angeles - The fabricated story that Charles Manson was seeking out Phil Spector in their prison is just plain wrong. Prison officials told ABC News 20/20 that there is no way Manson can communicate with Spector. They are in two different buildings located 4 miles apart in two different areas in separate fenced in complexes. Prison officials deny a guard slipped Spector a note from Manson and also told ABC News and others that the story could of only come from Spector's handlers and wife.
Recently Team Spector announced that they were seeking e-mail access for Spector. The friends of Lana Clarkson started a petition letter writing campaign to Warden Darrel Adams at Corcoran State Prison where Spector now resides with a 19 years to life prison for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson. The friends feel that giving a convicted murderer with a life sentence the ability to contact other criminals on the outside, to possibly empower and pay them to cause harm or death to his enemies, is irresponsible and extremely dangerous.

Not true
California prison authorities already checked into this and found the story to be bogus. They don't even live near each other (their buildings are 4 miles apart and do not share guards). This has been widely reported already.
