It shouldn't even be mentioned that George Martin played keys on many Beatles songs, and is often cited with playing the piano on "Misery", "Not A Second Time", "A Hard Day's Night", and "Penny Lane", the organ on "I Wanna Be Your Man", "Got To Get You Into My Life", "Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite" and "Across The Universe", the harmonium on "The Word", "If I Needed Someone" and "Cry Baby Cry", and the harpsichord on "Fixing A Hole", just to name a few.
Jimmy Page said in " Jimmy Page By Jimmy Page" book he played on Hard Days Night" soundtrack. No specific song. I know about " Goldfinger" song. Fun facts - the song was successful in the US but not in Britain - most fans know that Page and Vic Flick are on it. Recorded at EMI Studios ( Wikipedia says CTS Studios) Aug 20, 1964. In 2017 " Stairway to Heaven" SPIRIT " Taurus" court deposition- John Paul Jones mentioned was sitting next to Page playing bass ( they recorded together often.) So George Martin had 1/2 of future Led Zeppelin recording with him! I've wondered why Martin wasn't credited on " Goldfinger"... John Barry was the Arranger. Lol I had a copy of " My Boomerrang Won't Come Back" by CHARLIE DRAKE - Martin was involved in that 1962. THANKS!! ( Note this recent post is updated.)
Speaking of the Petula Clark, what an awesome artist whose career basically started in her childhood during World War I two. And she still going strong. I saw her when she was only 85 a few years ago now she’s 90 and she still at it. Maybe her American hits career should someday be featured here .
I saw a Vic Flick interview on YT. At the beginning they show " Hard Days Night" Lp and MATT MONRO LP . So therefore Flick contributed to that. Someone in the comment section said he met Vic Flick at the House of Blues for " Hard Days Night" 40th Anniversary. Here is Jimmy Page's quote from " Jimmy Page By Jimmy Page" book on page 18: "I was also on SHIRLEY BASSEY's " Goldfinger" Bond Theme, the soundtrack to " Casino Royale" and the album of " A Hard Days Night". ( Of course he is playing on GEORGE MARTIN ORCHESTRA). This is for the non believers out there 😅
Great episode. These instrumental albums reinforce how good the Beatle melodies are. The melodies stand on their own. I know these instrumentals were played on Easy Listening radio stations in the 60s and 70s. Every radio market had at least one of these stations and yes, they were played in dentist offices. When you think about it, this was a great way to market the Beatles to an older crowd.
ONLY VISTING THIS PLANET by LARRY NORMAN,1972/SO LONG AGO THE GARDEN by LARRY NORMAN,1973/THESE TWO ALBUMS WERE PRODUCED BY GEORGE MARTIN AND HIS,TRIUMVIRATE PRODUCTION TEAM. IN AIR STUDIOS IN LONDON, WHILE LARRY WAS RECORDING, SO LONG AGO THE GARDEN,PAUL MCCARTNEY WAS RECORDING ,LIVE AND LET DIE,NEXT DOOR,IN AIR STUDIOS
Folks, I am so glad Matt did this one. I am a performer and a songwriter (since 18 now 66) and I have performed in a Tribute as Mc since 2007. I am also a guy, just like you all, who considers myself as the biggest Beatles fan ever. That said, I believe that without George Martin, the first and last Beatles song played on the radio in Britain would have been Love Me Do. As well, we here in the US would have never heard of them. Songwriting is a tricky thing. When George suggested to the band that they speed up Johns newly penned Please Please Me, this could have been the end. But that he suggested it in a way and with whatever respect he held with this recently met group of lads that drove them to not only do it, but skip break time and work on it for an hour while the old boys ate, and sipped tea, is a defining moment in R-n-R. Another GREAT JOB from Matt.
For my money......George Martin was the Fifth Beatle. Eppy was more a father figure. Neil and Mal were close, but still (slightly) on the outside. Great video once again!
George Martin was so indispensable to The Beatles' development that I wonder what Beatle records would sound like had they passed the Decca audition.
That story is amusing- Bassey's bra flew over " the box"( booth) while holding that last note. Then she passed out. I believe Page never brought this up until 2008. He spoke about it a couple times after that. Thank you for clearing this up about producing the vocals. ❤❤❤
I'm jealous of your collection. These are great, I have to get more of Martin's work, it is so evocative of the time.
I didn’t think I’d like this episode… boy, was I wrong! Loved it!
Oh wow, what an awesome George Martin collection you have! I've loved many of these albums for decades, I've got to make sure my Sunday morning has a George Martin soundtrack tomorrow! Another great video 🌼
Thank you Matt for setting the record straight on Sir George Martin's other recording career he is definitely the 5th Beatle in my eyes ~ It is my hope that his son Giles sees this episode of your series and gets the same enjoyment out of it as I did ~
Excellent as always! Thank you Matt!
I 've got "Off The Beatles Tracks" on vinyl and "In My Life" (1998) on CD ... and then I've got 2 copies of a Ultravox single.
The sound of his arrangements is the background music of swingin London between 65-69. No one had the pulse on the sound better than GM. Love all this stuff. It ain’t cheesy
Excelent show Matt.I always enjoy it a lot.
After thinking about this collection of George Martin albums, what we have here is a fantastic look and listen to an era, long gone but not forgotten. These scores, themselves, stand on their own, in spite of how 'corny' they may sound now to the 'modern era' listener. Thanks Matt~!
Thanks for doing videos about the easy listening side of the swinging 60's
