Geoff Emerick war ein englischer Toningenieur, der als einer der besten in der Geschichte gilt. Seine innovativen Techniken und sein feines Gehör prägten maßgeblich den Klang der Popmusik in einer entscheidenden Ära. Emericks Zusammenarbeit mit ikonischen Künstlern führte zur Entstehung einiger der einflussreichsten Alben, die je produziert wurden. Sein bleibendes Erbe liegt in seinem tiefgreifenden Einfluss auf die Audioproduktion.
Die packenden Memoiren des wahren „fünften Beatle“ „Niemand kommt an die Beatles ran!“ Brian May (Queen) „Wir sind bekannter als Jesus.“ John Lennon „Bücher über die Beatles gibt es wie Sand am Meer. Aus den Plagiaten mittelmäßiger Abschreiber ragt diese Insiderstory leuchtturmartig hervor. Ein authentischer Erlebnisbericht mit neuen Details.“ Financial Times Deutschland
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.
