![]() ![]() ![]() He came up with creative and unheard at the time ideas, especially on Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, Yellow Submarine, part of the White Album and Abbey Road. That all changed in 1966 when he worked with the Beatles' on the Revolver album. He was just starting out his career in the music recording business and wasn't always given the opportunity to work with the Beatles. ![]() He started working with them occasionally from 1963-1965. Geoff Emerick was one of the Beatles' recording engineers at EMI studios on Abbey Road. After reading that, I expected that he was going to say nice things about Paul because he still is friends with him. He admits that he became friends with Paul McCartney and did not bond with George Harrison. This is Geoff's book and they are his memories they way he saw it and the way he remembered them. I always read these type of books with a grain of salt. They say that Geoff made up some things that he was never even present for and the book is full of lies. Some say that Geoff thinks Paul can do no wrong and that George is a terrible guitarist. ![]() I know that Geoff Emerick's book has some controversy with it. Recently I obtained an autographed hardback copy of the book and I decided to give it another read. This book was published in 2006, and I borrowed a copy from the library back then and read it. This evening's Wednesday Review is of the somewhat controversial book Here There and Everywhere: My Life Recording the music of the Beatles by Geoff Emerick. ![]()
