DESCRIPTION:
In this witty and charming autobiography, he describes exactly what it was like to work in the studio with the Beatles--from the first audition (and his decision to scrap Pete Best on drums) to the wild experimentation of Sgt. Pepper (complete with sound effects, animal noises and full orchestras in evening dress at the direct request of Paul McCartney).This is a singular look at the most important musical group of all time, and how they made the music that changed the world: No other book can provide George Martin's inside look at their creative process, at the play of genius and practical improvisation that gave them their sound; it is an indispensable read for Beatle lovers and anyone interested in the music world.. "George," he said, "I don't know if you'd be interested, but there's a chap who's come in with a tape of a group he runs. Ask him to come and see me." "O.K., I will.

The Delightful History of George Martin Twinkie It is George Martin's account of his personal history were are talking about here. And the writing, I can hear Martin's voice throughout.I should note this book has a lot more to it than the Beatles. If expecting a book about the Beatles, prepare yourself to be disappointed. Rather this book is a history of all sorts of wonderful quirky people told in the delightful and, at times humorous, charming fashion by Martin himself.. Susy Q said Excellent, revealing What fun. Excellent, revealingWhat fun! George Martin gives intimate insights to his work with the Beatles and other prominent groups such as the Bee Gees. The Beatles were so blessed to have him as their producer: with his musical background I believe they learned bits from him about musical composition that they probably never would have learned from another producer. Yet, as he says, their creativity was the engine and every time they came back to make a new recording, he was astonished at the growth. Certainly his other groups, while good. Less about the Beatles, more about music and recording Richard E. Berger I was hoping for a lot about the Beatles, but in the end, the information about recording, sound and music was even more interesting. For example, he pointed out that the delays in various recording spaces varied and were conducive to different kinds of music. The long delay in a cathedral was conducive to choirs, for example. There was an interesting discussion of the well-tempered scale. A decent and interesting man and an enjoyable book.
