Interesting Facts

#	Fact
1	Preparing a Beatles musical extravaganza show for Las Vegas. Though not directly involved, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono and the family of the late George Harrison have given their support. Premiere scheduled for 2007. [October 2006]
2	Awarded a Knighthood in the Queen's Honours List. [December 1995]
3	Although already an accomplished pianist, Martin started to learn the guitar in order to communicate better with the Beatles, none of whom played the piano well when they started working with him. In return, they all started to improve their piano playing by buying a piano each. By Martin's own admission, they learned the piano better than he managed to learn the guitar.
4	Founded 'Air-Edel Recording Studios' with Herman Edel in 1969.
5	Father of Gregory Paul Martin and Giles Martin.
6	He was awarded Knight Bachelor of the Order of the British Empire in the 1996 Queen's New Years Honours List for his services to Music.
7	Inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame for his outstanding contribution to British music and integral part of British music culture. The award was presented by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown. [November 2006]
8	Winner of the British Phonographic Industry Award for Outstanding Contribution in 1984.
9	After the "Get Back" debacle in early 1969, Martin began recording less with the Beatles, for the first time in six years; producer's duties were often filled in by Alan Parsons. Martin agreed to return for the "Abbey Road" sessions, however, on the band's promise that everyone would work together "like the old days".
10	Along with producing the Beatles' recordings, Martin often joined them on the playing end, adding keyboards to their lineup - thus becoming the real "Fifth Beatle" if there ever was one.
11	While Martin worked mostly hand-and-glove with Paul McCartney musically, he often found John Lennon's musical ideas considerably challenging. Martin always met the challenge, though, contributing the orchestral windup to the mix of "A Day In The Life", and the use of old circus pipes recordings in "Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite".
12	When Martin met John Lennon in Los Angeles in the mid-1970s, he took Lennon to task for some critical comments he'd made about Martin, published in "Rolling Stone". Lennon gave Martin a rare apology, and praised him for his dedication and hard work. (For Lennon's part, his "Rolling Stone" comments did include "George made us what we were in the studio," and "He helped us develop a language to talk to [other] musicians.")
13	Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (under the category Non-Performer) in 1999.

Quotes

#	Quote
1	The very first records we made were just on two-track and then we had the great advance of four-track. We were able to actually overdub and start putting secondary voices on and guitar solos at a later stage and that kind of thing.
2	[on "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins] One of the best pop songs, I think, ever written.
3	[on "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"] Looking back on Pepper, it was quite an icon. It probably did change the face of recording so it became a different kind of art form.
4	Tape and electronics have brought enormous new feel to music. It's surprising what you can do once you have a sound recorded on tape.
5	[on Phil Spector's controversial overdubs to the "Let It Be" record] It was so uncharacteristic of The Beatles. It went against everything The Beatles wanted to do with the record. He tried to use the same techniques that he used on other people's records, and it didn't work. I could understand why Paul (Paul McCartney) got so mad over it.
6	Without Pet Sounds, Sgt Pepper wouldn't have happened . . . Pepper was an attempt to equal Pet Sounds.
7	If there is one person I would have to select as a living genius of pop music, it would be Brian Wilson.
