Publishers Description: "George," he said, "I dont know if youd be interested, but theres a chap whos come in with a tape of a group he runs. They havent got a recording contract, and I wonder if youd like to see him and listen to what hes got""Certainly," I said, "Im willing to listen to anything. Ask him to come and see me." "O.K., I will. His names Brian Epstein...."All You Need Is Ears is the story of George Martin, the man who spotted the Beatles talent, who recorded and produced them from the start, and who brought their musical ideas to life. In this witty and charming autobiography, he describes exactly what it was like to work in the studio with the Beatles--from the first audition (and his decision to scrap Pete Best on drums) to the wild experimentation of Sgt. Pepper (complete with sound effects, animal noises and full orchestras in evening dress at the direct request of Paul McCartney).This is a singular look at the most important musical group of all time, and how they made the music that changed the No other book can provide George Martins inside look at their creative process, at the play of genius and practical improvisation that gave them their sound; it is an indispensable read for Beatle lovers and anyone interested in the music world.
