Being a Beatles fan for many years,..I often wondered why none of the back room boys wrote about their experiences working with the “Fab 4 “. This book from Geoff gives an insight into the workings behind the scenes and also an insight into his personal life. The many hours spent honing each song to get it “just right” highlights the amount of input from not only the band members, but also the sound engineers and production staff. It is not a “warts & all” story , but a nice overview of the everyday work of the guys who helped to create these pop masterpieces and don’t really get the credit. I think the fans would like Geoff’s book.

Having been a great fan of The Beatles since 1963 ,I have read many books about the fab four, but this one is on a level with Mark Lewisohn's, "The Complete Beatles recording sessions". It such a compelling read, absolutely fascinating insight to what went on in the studio while recording all that fantastic music. Geoff Emerick gives a personnel look that only a few people were lucky enough to witness first hand by being there as the "magic" was made. Would recommend this book to any Beatle fan or not, truly brilliant. Thank you Geoff Emerick and Howard Massey.

Geoff Emerick's story is the remarkable tale of a music loving school leaver who by a happy accident finds himself working at EMI as a Junior sound engineer. That in itself would have been a lucky break but his boss was George Martin and the musicians he worked with for many years were The Beatles. What more can one say?
