He later worked with the Beatles as they recorded their singles &#147;She Loves You&#148; and &#147;I Want to Hold Your Hand,&#148; 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 &#147;Eight Days A Week&#148; and &#147;I Feel Fine.&#148; <P> 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 <I>Revolver</I>, in which they pioneered innovative recording techniques that changed the course of rock history. Emerick would also engineer the monumental <I>Sgt. Pepper</I> and <I>Abbey Road</I> albums, considered by many the greatest rock recordings of all time. In <I>Here, There and Everywhere</I> 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. 35476 15 2 2006 Here, There and Everywhere: My Life Recording the Music of the Beatles total:273|5:99|4:116|3:45|2:12|1:1| 273 1119 358 71 4 3 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 27 09:15:31 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 01 09:03:13 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 1 false false Mon Aug 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 08:25:35 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 22:58:59 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun May 24 20:27:36 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 01:19:51 -0700 2009
