[EAN: 9781592401796], Gebraucht, wie neu, [PU: Gotham Books], MUSIC, RECORDING, BEATLES, Jacket, First edition, 1st printing. Foreword by Elvis Costello. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "The innovative recording engineer who recorded the Beatles' greatest albums and singles reveals the extraordinary inside story of how the Fab Four created their best-loved songs. [] In 1962, at the age of fifteen, Geoff Emerick landed his dream job as assistant recording engineer at EMI's Abbey Road Studios in London. At the time, the facility was world-renowned for classical recordings, but it was also the home of an obscure comedy label named Parlophone, run by producer George Martin. On just his second day there, Emerick was present as a scruffy-looking quartet from Liverpool called the Beatles came in for their first-ever recording session. Their sound was rough, but the band made an indelible impression on EMI's staffers and on young Emerick in particular, not least because of the way John and Paul confronted George Martin, insisting on recording a song they had written themselves, rather than the bland fare the label wanted. That song, 'Love Me Do,' soon rocketed up the charts, and popular music has never been the same. [] Over the next seven years, Emerick would work alongside the Beatles as they transformed from teenage amateurs into an international sensation unlike anything the world had ever known. At the age of nineteen, Emerick would be promoted to full engineer, charged with recording the group's groundbreaking album, Revolver. As he and the band pushed the limits of recording technology, he pioneered methods that created a new signature sound for the Beatles. From his innovative use of tape loops and vocal distortion (on 'Tomorrow Never Knows') and backwards recording ('I'm Only Sleeping') to forging new microphone techniques for Ringo's drums and Paul's bass, Emerick's work would change the art of sound recording. A year later the bar would be raised further still as he and the group recorded what many have called the greatest album of all time: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. [] In HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE, Emerick recounts his experiences in the studio with the Beatles, bringing to life the behind-the-scenes musical innovations and sonic experimentations that resulted in the group's finest recordings. He takes you inside the creation of classic tracks from 'She Loves You' to 'A Day in the Life,' and the first-ever worldwide live satellite broadcast, as a nervous John Lennon sings 'All You Need Is Love' to an audience of millions." [jacket copy] "From the very beginning, Geoff was an eyewitness to the phenomena of the Beatles and the way they changed music forever. If you really want to know what happened, read this book. It provides a fabulous insight into a very special time."--Graham Nash. "This is an endlessly fascinating story of extraordinary resonance . . . a delicious mixture of musical insight, revealing anecdotes, and historical and technical detail. An accurate, elegantly written, and profoundly evocative account of an important era."--Peter Asher. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, all wrapped in a Near Fine (tiny nick, repaired, on spine) jacket covered in archival mylar.
