Produced By George Martin: Title: Highlights of 50
2006 collection of tracks produced by Sir George Martin, one of only a handful of music producers who commands as much respect as the acts he's produced over a 50+ year career. What if the Beatles had never met producer George Martin? How different would the history of Pop be? 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 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 '60s 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, Ultravox and Celine Dion. EMI.
