SynopsisA fascinating memoir featuring never-before-told stories from Beatles recording engineer Geoff Emerickthe industry legend who made music history by crafting the groundbreaking sound of the groups most famous records, including "Revolver, Sgt. Pepper," and "Abbey Road" Geoff Emerick was only fifteen years old when he began working with the Beatles as assistant engineer for their early classics I Want to Hold Your Hand and She Loves You. Incredibly, at the age of nineteen, he was promoted to full engineer, taking the helm for the groups groundbreaking album "Revolver," Ten months later, he joined forces with the Beatles for the recording of "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band," hailed by "Rolling Stone" as the greatest album ever made. In their constant quest for experimentation and new soundsand despite the technical limitations of the pre-digital ageEmerick developed a slew of innovative recording techniques, many of which are still in use today. In "Here, There and Everywhere," Emerick tells his story for the first time, taking the reader through the hallowed (though somewhat dingy) corridors of Abbey Road Studios to give rare insights into the Beatles unique creative processes and personalities and provide a behind-the- scenes look at how the greatest band of all time made their greatest records. As Emerick describes the Beatles transformation from wide-eyed Liverpool teenagers into tour-savvy professionals, he provides a startling picture of the Fab Four. Fascinating and moving, "Here, There and Everywhere" illuminates the creative tensions within the band that fueled their early success, but would ultimately lead them to record in separate studios while the partnershipwas disintegrating. We all owe some debt to Geoff Emericks self-effacing work as an engineer and producer . . . there is very little that any group of scruffy musicians can throw at him that he cannot put into some kind of good sonic order. I feel fortunate to have worked with him. Elvis Costello, Geoff Emerick tells the story of his life as the Beatles' recording engineer. He is a man who helped make history by working on the group's groundbreaking sound, including such albums as 'Sgt Pepper', 'Revolver', and 'Abbey Road'., A fascinating memoir featuring never-before-told stories from The Beatles' recording engineer Geoff Emerick, the industry legend who made history by crafting the groundbreaking sound of their most famous records. Emerick takes readers through the hallowed corridors of Abbey Road Studios to give rare insights into The Beatles' unique creative process and provides behind-the-scenes glimpses into the greatest band of all time. Fascinating and moving, Here, There and Everywhere illuminates the powerful, and occasionally turbulent, music careers of this iconic group., From the Beatles' recording engineer Geoff Emerick comes a fascinating memoirfeaturing never-before-told stories of the Fab Four.

  • Not in 'good' condition.

    This book is not in 'good' condition. Looks very old. The pages are yellowed. There is tape on the four corners of the cover. There are stamps on three sides of the book: 'Nippersink district Library, Richmond, Illinois. WITHDRAWN'.Barcode sticker with feltpen and stamp inside. It looks as if the book has been wet; several pages have ripples. The book even smells old and used. The discription of the book should have been: Old, withdrawn book from Illinois Library. A book with obvious wear and damages. No pages missing. So can be read without any problem. But poor condition.
