"An A Cappella book."
Made in Great Britain -- The big smoke -- A house in St. John's Wood -- "Frustration has many fathers" -- An instant friendship -- "I don't like your tie" -- "Liverpool? You're joking!" -- 585 minutes -- Yeah, yeah, yeah! -- El Dorado -- A really big shew -- The four mop-tops -- Martin's revenge -- Off the Beatle track -- "Can we have that on the record?" -- Yesterday and today -- Something in the AIR -- Plastic soul.
George Martin's working-class childhood and musical influences profoundly shaped his early career in the BBC's Classical Music department and as head of the EMI Group's Parlophone Records. Out of them flowed the genius behind his seven years producing the Beatles' incredible body of work. In this first book of two, Womack traces Martin's early years; his unlikely discovery of the Beatles, and his painstaking efforts to prepare their newfangled sound for the British music marketplace.
