Geoff Emerick
From Free net encyclopedia
Geoff Emerick (born 1946) is a recording studio audio engineer, who is best known for his work with the Beatles albums Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, The White Album and Abbey Road. The first album he did with the Beatles working as main recording engineer was Revolver, and "Tomorrow Never Knows" was the first track he worked on, after having taken over the engineering duties from Norman Smith who was promoted to record producer.
Emerick, like Beatles producer George Martin, brought an adventurous and experimental attitude to his work.
In addition to his ground breaking work with the Beatles, Paul McCartney and Wings (Band on the Run), Emerick also produced albums by the Zombies (Odessey & Oracle), Badfinger (No Dice), Elvis Costello (Imperial Bedroom, All This Useless Beauty), Split Enz (Dizrythmia), and Nellie McKay (Get Away From Me).
Geoff Emerick has just published a 400-page book (March, 16th, 2006) called Here There and Everywhere: My Life Recording the Music of The Beatles (Gotham), co-written with Howard Massey, which tells his personal view on how it was working with The Beatles in the studio.
