L5Larry Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I just ordered the Peter Doggett book from the library. Another great "behind the scenes" book on the Beatles is: Here, there, and everywhere : my life recording the music of the Beatles / Geoff Emerick and Howard Massey. New York, N.Y. : Gotham Books, c2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York, N.Y. : Gotham Books, c2006. Yeah good read also and clear incite into the studio and how they as a team (Martin, Emerick, and the Beatles) stretched the boundaries of what was possible in recording context. If they wanted things to sound a certain way, a voice or a guitar note, they just improvised or invented the effect themselves. There were no vast array of foot effects pedals back in the day.

zigzag Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I agree that Ringo is under-rated. He was involved in some projects after the Beatles where his talent shines, e.g. Good News, Attitudes. Maybe Ringo could be considered the "pulse" of the Beatles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bill Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 here ya go.... The Beatles first recorded it on 6 June 1962 with Pete Best on drums, as part of their audition at EMI Studios at 3 Abbey Road, London. This version (previously thought to be lost) is available on Anthology 1. By 4 September, Best had been replaced with Ringo Starr (producer George Martin did not approve of Best's drumming; the decision to fire Best was not his however), and on that day the Beatles with Starr recorded a version again at EMI Studios. One week later, on 11 September, the Beatles returned to the same studio and they made a recording of "Love Me Do" with session drummer Andy White on drums, as Martin was unhappy with Starr's performance on 4 September and he was relegated to playing tambourine. As the tambourine was not included on the 4 September recording, this is the easiest way to distinguish between the Starr and White recordings. I was close. Tambourine, and they cut it!!
