This man was the sound engineer for the Beatles and has written a book called "Here, There and Everywhere".

If you are interested at all in the Beatles, or the evolution of the recording process in the 60's, please read this book.

It is a very, very behind-the-scenes look at the band, and surprisingly candid, I thought. Also some Stones stuff in it.

Thanks, bianca, any pictures of you?

LOL..

Sounds good, Bianca. Might check that one out. Thanks

Also, check out the mammoth Recording The Beatles book.

It's expensive, heavy and so detailed. Not a book for the general Beatles fan though.

Bill Wyman has put out a book also, "Rolling With The Stones".

(Who am I to poke fun at someone, just for posting something that's been discussed before... right? Sorry for my earlier bit of sarcasm...)


Yes, I agree it is a facinating book. I read it because the author was an "insider." Otherwise, I figured there probably couldn't be any stories that I hadn't heard before. Because he had a unique insider perspective, it made everything interesting... even things that you might have already known.

I liked his description of the process of recording "Tomorrow Never Knows". He talks of Lennon's idea (not used!) of hanging upside down with a rope from the ceiling, then swinging back and forth to record an alternate take of his vocal!
