Product Description:
Geoff Emerick became an assistant engineer at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in 1962 at age fifteen, and was present as a new band called the Beatles recorded their first songs. He later worked with the Beatles as they recorded their singles "She Loves You" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand," the songs that would propel them to international superstardom. In 1964 he would witness the transformation of this young and playful group from Liverpool into professional, polished musicians as they put to tape classic songs such as "Eight Days A Week" and "I Feel Fine."
Then, in 1966, at age nineteen, Geoff Emerick became the BeatlesÂ’ chief engineer, the man responsible for their distinctive sound as they recorded the classic album Revolver, in which they pioneered innovative recording techniques that changed the course of rock history. Emerick would also engineer the monumental Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road albums, considered by many the greatest rock recordings of all time. In Here, There and Everywhere he reveals the creative process of the band in the studio, and describes how he achieved the sounds on their most famous songs. Emerick also brings to light the personal dynamics of the band, from the relentless (and increasingly mean-spirited) competition between Lennon and McCartney to the infighting and frustration that eventually brought a bitter end to the greatest rock band the world has ever known.

Excellent insight into the Beatles during some of their most important recordings. Shatters many assumptions regarding who played what instruments on what songs. I have sent a copy of the book to a friend and referred it to many others. If you are a Beatle lover as I am, you will enjoy Here There & Everywhere.

This offers a great view of the fab four from someone who spent hundreds of hours in the studio with them. Most of these stories are already well known to Beatle fans, but it's interesting to get them from a different perspective. There is a tangible sense of excitement as Emerick details the groundbreaking recording sessions for Revolver and Sgt. Pepper. Likewise, his accounts of the directionless post-India period and tense White album sessions are particularly fascinating.

Well, that's the impression you'll get after reading "Here, There and Everywhere." Along with that, you'll discover that George Harrison was a "ham-fisted" guitar player, while McCartney was a veritable musical prodigy who could play everything from the bass guitar to God knows what.
You'll also discover things that are presented as facts but are completely incorrect. For example, Geoff tells us that the initial mix of "Penny Lane" omitted the piccolo trumpet flourish at the end, but was ... Read More

Not for the casual fan, this book delves into how the records were made, layer by layer. You also get a flavor of the moods of the Beatles during this time as well as insight into the creative process. I marked up several pages and passages because they made me want to go back and listen to the vinyl recordings to see if I could pick up on some of the subtleties he talked about.
After reading this book I think you might agree the Beatles were the most creative, prolific band of all time... ... Read More
