SynopsisAn all-access, firsthand account of the life and music of one of history's most beloved bands--from an original mastering engineer at Abbey Road 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 Beatles' 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., 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.

  • Great Book!

    I really enjoyed this book! I would recommend it to any Beatles fan. There is a lot of information that I hadn't read before. I,m not into technical stuff, but it was still interesting how the Beatles recorded and got their sound the way they wanted it.

  • Geoff Emerick was The Beatles' sound engineer - enough said!

    Fantastic book - I strongly recommend anyone that is, is a student of, or is just curious about the creative side of sound engineering, to make this book, along with "All You Need Is Ears" by George Martin, a couple of your dearest possessions!

  • A Behind-the-Scenes Music Great

    Geoff Emerick was one of those Ultimates, and this book proves his cleverness. Anyone in the music business -- the creative end of it, at least -- shall surely appreciate his writing. May he now be revered far more than he ever was during his lifetime.

  • TOTALLY AMAZING INSIGHT

    HAVE NOT FINISHED THE BOOK YET, BUT HAVE BEEN TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY AT GEOFF EMERICK'S INSIDE VIEW OF THE VARIOUS RECORDING SESSIONS WITH THE BEATLES. HIS PERSPECTIVE ONLY GOES TO SOLIDIFY HOW CREATIVE THE BEATLES ALONG WITH GEORGE MARTIN AND HIS ENGINEERS WERE. THEY BROKE RULES AND RECORDING BOUNDRIES AND CREATED NEW RECORDING TECHNIQUES LIKE NO OTHER GROUP EVER DID. LOVE THIS BOOK !!!!.

    As a Beatles fan the insights into the goings-on in the recording studio by one who was there for the duration is fascinating.
