Product Description

From the Label
What if the Beatles had never met their producer George Martin? How different would the history of pop be? We cannot know but what we do know is that the Beatles and George Martin formed an extraordinary alliance, one that revolutionised popular music. The Beatles and George Martin turned the studio into a workshop, and the role of producer changed with it, from being a creative organiser into being a realiser. While Sir George Martin is best known as the producer of most of the Beatles' recordings it should be remembered that his actual credits are diverse, encompassing artists ranging from 60's pop star Cilla Black, the comic talents of Peter Sellers and Spike Milligan, legendary vocalists like Shirley Bassey and Ella Fitzgerald and rock acts as different as Billy J. Kramer & the Dakotas, America and Celine Dion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Appetizer for the main course, 17 Nov 2006
By Richard "Alice Collector" (Blackpool England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Obviously the biggest sales for this CD or the box set from which this is but a sampler will be Beatles collectors and this collection is able to do something no end of 60s compilations could do and that's to include the real Beatles.
We get examples of what Martin was doing before the Beatles and this is where the skip button comes in useful-few would want to hear Flanders & Swann,Spike Milligan or Tommy Reilly more than once!
The set kicks off with Martin's own Sgt Pepper influenced Theme 1,a commission for the new BBC radio station and with excerpts from the Pepperland Suite plus the much later Friends & Lovers this is all you get of Martin's own music as via the George Martin Orchestra.
There's productions from other Liverpool acts,Shirley Bassey,Billy Preston (from the Sgt Pepper movie),Peter Sellers,Matt Monro,the Ron Goodwin Orchestra and a few items from the final Martin CD In my life
