Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
George Martin is one of the world's most famous record producers and yet, despite a long and varied career, he is most celebrated for his era-defining work with the Beatles. The six-CD box set Produced By George Martin commemorates his 50 years behind the desk. The discs are in chronological order and loosely themed--early years, comedy recordings, 60s hits, orchestral, etc. Those expecting an imaginative selection of Beatles tunes will be severely disappointed. A mere quartet of blindingly obvious tracks (eg: "Yesterday")--all pre-1966--represents the Mop Top legacy. Surely, the inclusion of "Tomorrow Never Knows" or "A Day in the Life", would not only have illustrated the Fabs' phenomenal--not to say radical--musical development but would also have emphasised the role of Martin as mentor, arranger and collaborator. Disc 3, the finest and by far most consistent, showcases George's chart-slaying 1960s productions. Other highlights alongside the Beatles include Cilla Black's Macca penned "Step Inside Love" , Ella Fitzgerald's swingin' Nelson Riddle-esque reading of "Can't Buy Me Love" and ace faces the Action's floor-stomping version of "Land of a 1,000 Dances". While the concept of paying tribute to one of music's most illustrious producers is commendable, the truth is that his mainstream output during the 1960s eclipses the rest of his work, thus rendering the other CDs all but redundant. Perhaps a box set concentrating solely on Martin's 1960s pop productions might have proved the better option. --Chris King
