Beatles recording engineer Geoff Emerick has died
More HERE. I enjoyed his work and his book, Here, There and Everywhere: My Life Recording the Music of The Beatles. Of course I would: I am one of those dodgy recording engineer types.
Bob

Wow, only 72 y/o. That’s too bad. He was brilliant. RIP Geoff.
Bob, as a recording engineer, you may have seen the “Deconstructing The Beatles” lecture/film series by professor/director Scott Frieman, where Frieman breaks down the tracks so the viewer can see and hear how the music was produced. He discusses Geoff’s work and innovations quite a bit. I saw the Revolver, Rubber Soul, Sgt. Pepper, and The White Album films four Mondays in a row at a local movie theater. These films were fascinating, a must see for those really interested in such stuff.

I agree with Bob on Emerick's book. It's excellent. In one book there's a great deal of insight into the technical atmosphere and structure at Abbey Road studios back in the day, and a closely observed perspective on the Beatles as a group. If you've ever wondered what it's be like to be in studio with the Beatles, this is the one book can convince you that "you are there."
I suppose a few readers might be put off on his framing the story with details of how the studio worked. Those readers are missing out. I read a lot of music memoirs and biographies. This is one of the best.

Tremendous engineer... a friend of my brother's, Tom (T.A. Anderson) worked under Geoff as an assistant engineer and later came to be a great engineer in his own right...
You've gotta love the guy who turned the chicken into a guitar on Sgt. Pepper's!!! Thanks, Geoff, for all the wonderful music upon which you had such influence...
