Download or read book Here There and Everywhere written by Geoff Emerick and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-03-16 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An all-access, firsthand account of the life and music of one of history's most beloved bands--from an original mastering engineer at Abbey Road Geoff Emerick became an assistant engineer at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in 1962 at age fifteen, and was present as a new band called the Beatles recorded their first songs. He later worked with the Beatles as they recorded their singles “She Loves You” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” 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 “Eight Days A Week” and “I Feel Fine.” 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 Revolver, in which they pioneered innovative recording techniques that changed the course of rock history. Emerick would also engineer the monumental Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road albums, considered by many the greatest rock recordings of all time. In Here, There and Everywhere 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.

Book excerpt: New Beatles Book Presents Evidence And The Story Of The Death And Replacement Of Paul McCartney "Beatles, the Death and Replacement of Paul McCartney, The Untold Story" authored by Ernie Schultze will soon be available (Date) as published by A-Argus Books publishing. Just when you thought there could not possibly be another Beatles book, author Ernie Schultze jolts the literary establishment with his latest. Beatles: The Death and Replacement of Paul McCartney, compiles evidence based on rumors that Paul was killed in a car crash in November 1966, then conveniently replaced by a talented look-alike, groomed for the seamless take-over. Baby Boomers who went through Beatlemainea, many hearing the rumor and accepting it as true, can now read about what really happened. The events and cover-up afforded by English law makes an intriguing story. The English economy was in the middle of a Sterling crisis and the Beatles revenues pulled the economy out of a hole. Those revenues and his association with the Beatles got the Prime Minister elected. The Prime Minister, the Queen and the "Official Secrets Act" could not have let him die regardless of what happened or the economy, political and corporate fortunes would tank. The relationship with the new member, the look-alike, sets off a heavy strain on the group. There is a tragic inevitability about the events of the Beatles' rise and fall that places the story in the realm of great literature. Consider the Breakup: what the public knows -- the Official Version -- is not even in the same universe as what actually happened. The Beatles themselves confirm this. This book incorporates it all in story fashion.

Download or read book Meet the Beatles written by Steven D. Stark and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rob Sheffield, the Rolling Stone columnist and bestselling author of Love Is a Mix Tape, offers an entertaining, unconventional look at the most popular band in history, the Beatles, exploring what they mean today and why they still matter so intensely to a generation that has never known a world without them. Meet the Beatles is not another biography of the Beatles, or a song-by-song analysis of the best of John and Paul. It isn’t another exposé about how they broke up. It isn’t a history of their gigs or their gear. It is a collection of essays telling the story of what this ubiquitous band means to a generation who grew up with the Beatles music on their parents’ stereos and their faces on T-shirts. What do the Beatles mean today? Why are they more famous and beloved now than ever? And why do they still matter so much to us, nearly fifty years after they broke up? As he did in his previous books, Love is a Mix Tape, Talking to Girls About Duran Duran, and Turn Around Bright Eyes, Sheffield focuses on the emotional connections we make to music. This time, he focuses on the biggest pop culture phenomenon of all time—The Beatles. In his singular voice, he explores what the Beatles mean today, to fans who have learned to love them on their own terms and not just for the sake of nostalgia. Meet the Beatles tells the story of how four lads from Liverpool became the world’s biggest pop group, then broke up—but then somehow just kept getting bigger. At this point, their music doesn’t belong to the past—it belongs to right now. This book is a celebration of that music, showing why the Beatles remain the world’s favorite thing—and how they invented the future we’re all living in today.
