“An amazingly detailed book that shows – both in picture and text – details that have never before been revealed about Abbey Road Studios. A great read for anyone interested in any aspect of recording.”-Richard Lush, engineer (The Beatles, John Lennon, Badfinger, Paul McCartney).
Recording The Beatles is a huge book, and there's a simply awesome amount of information collected within its 500+ pages. It is the result of over a decade of research, in which Kehew and Ryan tracked down and interviewed as many ex-EMI staff as they could find, located and photographed examples of nearly every piece of studio equipment in use.
Feb 17, 2021 Recording The Beatles book - Curvebender publishing.Condition is near brand new. I opened it and thumbed thru it briefly maybe twice back when it first came out. All stickers and extra goodies are complete in their original plastic sleeve and taped to the outside of the hard shell case as shown. I’ve left this alone since the mid 2000’s when these originally came out.

Recording The Beatles is a huge book, and there's a simply awesome amount of information collected within its 500+ pages. Section four is about the actual production of the Beatles' records. There is a chapter for each year from 1962 to 1968, and a joint chapter for 1969 and 1970. I would not only recommend this book for Beatles fans but also for any engineer or audiophile. The level of detail is mind boggling. If you are a Beatles fan then this book completes the series of five essential books: Recording The Beatles, Beatles Gear, Beatles Anthology, The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions, The Complete Beatles Chronicle.

The second book of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC)-nominated series, “The Beatles Recording Reference Manual: Volume 2: Help! through Revolver (1965-1966)” follows the evolution of the band from the end of Beatlemania with “Help!” through the introspection of “Rubber Soul” up to the sonic revolution of ‘Revolver”. From the first take to the final remix, discover the making of the greatest recordings of all time.

The collection and analysis of hundreds of recordings (takes, outtakes, remixes and release versions), books, magazine articles, photos, film and video evidence, and interviews with key engineers who worked on the sessions filter out the noise of myth and conflicting fact to arrive at an accurate telling of the creation of The Beatles classic recordings.

Book features:

Commercial releases during the period (albums, singles and extended play (EP) discs)
Song-by-song narratives of work during the period in order of first recording (Each narration includes an introduction to the song, information on the technical team responsible for production and a description of the construction of the song from the first take to the final remix, detailing the entire recording process.).
An easy to follow diagram of the recording process.
A year-by-year overview of the recording studios used by the band, including the available equipment configurations.
A year-by-year overview of the instruments and amplifiers used by the band.
A session-by-session breakdown of every technical component used in the creation of the songs (listing the session date, location, work completed, technical staff, musicians, instruments used, amplifiers used, recording equipment, microphones and studio effects used).
A listing of mono and stereo master remixes, their dates of creation and their release versions (for UK release).
Tables outlining the use during the period of electric and acoustic guitars, basses, drums, percussion, keyboards and other instruments, amplifiers, EMI Studios outboard equipment and microphones.
An explanation of technical equipment in relation to The Beatles recording sessions.
A glossary of terms.

Could this be the definitive guide to the Beatles' recording sessions?

The KLF, in their book The Manual (How To Have A Number One Hit The Easy Way), say: 'You will find engineers everywhere trying to impress you with the fact that Sergeant Pepper was recorded on a four-track. This is of course as relevant as the fact that no JCBs were used in the construction of the Great Pyramid.'

Every engineer knows about Pepper being done on four tracks. The more intelligent engineer will have realised that there were perhaps other factors involved in making Beatles recordings what they are: room ambience and probably lots of boxes with valves, that sort of thing. But it's actually very hard to find concrete information about how these recordings were made, and what they were made with. Until now, that is..

Much as archaeologists have spent no end of time investigating the mechanics involved in building a pyramid, Kehew and Ryan have made it their business to find out everything there is to know about the the methods by which the Beatles' music was recorded. Of course, given that this took place considerably less than 4000 years ago, and that most of the people involved are still very much alive, their task was probably a great deal less speculative than that of the archaeologists. After all, you're going to get much more definite answers if you can talk to the people involved and look at the equipment they used than you will if you're sitting around looking at a 40-ton block of stone and trying to work out how a bunch of guys in loincloths, with no JCBs, managed to move it about and use it to create pleasing geometric shapes.

Recording The Beatles is a huge book, and there's a simply awesome amount of information collected within its 500+ pages. It is the result of over a decade of research, in which Kehew and Ryan tracked down and interviewed as many ex-EMI staff as they could find, located and photographed examples of nearly every piece of studio equipment in use at Abbey Road between 1962 and 1970 and spent countless hours investigating the contents of EMI's archives.

The book is divided into four sections. The first looks at the design and construction of Abbey Road itself, and at the different roles of the various studio personnel. The second section is about recording equipment, and features an enormous collection of highly detailed (and clearly labelled) photographs, as well as a wealth of information about each piece — much of it provided by the people responsible for using, maintaining and, in some cases, actually building the equipment. Section three follows a similarly detailed format, but looks at effects and instruments belonging to Abbey Road and also at other studios used by the Beatles during their career.

Section four is about the actual production of the Beatles' records. There is a chapter for each year from 1962 to 1968, and a joint chapter for 1969 and 1970. Each chapter looks at the general techniques being used during that year and also features 'A Closer Look' sections which explore specific songs from that year in greater depth. The sheer volume of information doesn't let up here either, and the section is awash with 3D diagrams of studio layout, track sheets, photographs to show things such as drum mic placement, and lists of the equipment and instruments used during the sessions.

I expect that this last section will generate the most interest among prospective readers — and it doesn't disappoint. But it's the preceding sections that really make it work: all of the background information places the content of this section in context, and gives you a clear understanding of how these records were actually made.
