The serendipity of the creative songwriting of the Beatles conjoined with the experimental engineers created timeless recordings that have sold more than a billion sales. Every year, the younger generations discover the unique quality of the output of these four young men. Wonderful!

[robinfoster]

I think that's it's significant that The Beatles themselves, cared about the sound, rather than excepting what the producer offered them - the Beatles pushed for the improvements!

I'd LOVE to see a flow chart for some of the Sgt. Pepper's 'bounced down' tracks, and orchestra, and also the equipment used. That would be EPIC!

Emerick liked lots of compression baked into the basic tracks. The "brilliance box" and those EQ points are literally the sound of EMI recordings.

Thanks for inspiring back story information about the recording and techniques used for The Beatles "Revolver" record❤

It's hysterical that EMI had all these "rules" for recording
The engineers even had to wear lab coats.
