This biography gives the reader a glimpse into the mind and the man who was behind the music of one of the greatest bands in history--The Beatles. The life of George Martin and
those of the Beatles came together in a fascinating and remarkable way to
create the most exceptional music both artistically and commercially. The early experiences of George Martin, his
career and life choices alike make him THE man to produce the Beatles. In this first book of two, the reader discovers how Martin made a name for himself as a producer while simultaneously saving Parlophone Records from ruin. The most riveting parts of the biography delve into Martin's discovery of and relationship with the Beatles. It was Martin, with
the Beatles, who created the job of “producer” that we know today; someone with
artistic and technical background who could arrange music and bring musical
suggestions to the group. He was the
first great music producer and his story is just as interesting as that of the
Beatles themselves. If you love the
Beatles, George Martin, pop music, or rock’n’roll or just biographies read
this book!
