inkpot's review against another edition
5.0
Interesting and well written autobiography. It's about George Martin's life and work as a producer. He obviously did more than produce only the Beatles, so don't expect this book to be very Beatle-centric. They really become important about halfway through the book. Most of it is about developments of various studios and recording techniques, and how and with whom Martin worked throughout the years. There are some good explanations of what sound is, how it is produced, how we hear and record sound, why microphones are different, and how playback from records works. I liked the bit about the development of stereo recording. And the chapter on Sgt Pepper.
