Was shocked to find out that Geoff Emerick had just passed on at the age of 72 [variety.com]

Not really OT actually as he contributed so much to the pop and rock music we all love here.

His book is a great and fascinating read.

RIP

A very important person in The Beatles recording career.
Never realised he was so young when he was working with them!
Macca continued to use him from time to time long after the group split. Says it all.
RIP

So important in the development of studio recording techniques for inventing Automatic Double Tracking (ADT) to help enhance the sound of vocals and instruments. I believe The Beatles' Revolver was the first to use this process, which Lennon called Double Flanging.

tomorrow never knows was his very first contribution with just 17 years old
He needs no more presentation

Just a real genius

His book is worth reading.

Interesting chat with Emerick when he visited my country last April:

I love his production on Imperial Bedroom, Elvis Costello's second finest album: the first one being The Delivery Man.
