10 songs produced by the master. AL suggests it will be all- Beatles but I hope we get some of his other stuff too.

We should at least get a Jeff Beck instrumental. I'll try to get on fb tonight and request something (no fb at work!).

Was just about to say something to that effect. I'd much rather hear a set that had his work with the Beatles represented, but also say half a dozen tracks from some of the many other bands he produced. Beck being a prime candidate, but also Cheap Trick, Shirley Bassey, Cilla Black, Gerry & the Pacemakers, UFO, America, Badfinger, Dire Straits, and more than I can list.

I don't do that Facepage thing, but if I did I'd request Pepperland (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIfBNk5UQsY) as further exposition of the man's range of talents.

not to mention he produced all of Peter Sellers' comedy LPs and one-off 45s. True genius to be found there.

OTOH, Mr. Martin produced Elton's "Candle in the Wind" remake. Hopefully we'll be spared.

Pleased to see lots of non-Beatle requests in AL's thread.

I requested "Pepperland" just for you. :)

Thanks! I'll be quite surprised if it is played though, as it's pretty far outside of KFOG's
wheelhouse.

"In My Life" to start.

BOS1 Jeff Beck. "Cause We've Ended as Lovers" Proxy of Rod!

BOS, "Cause We've Ended As Lovers".
#1 on my top instrumentals.

Nice... I hadn't known that he played piano here.
-
BOS1 Jeff Beck. Proxy of Rod!
Excellent! But I always get confused...is the "Cause We've Ended as Lovers" or "Goodbye Porkpie Hat"?

Cause we've ended as Porkpies

BOS, "Cause We've Ended As Lovers".

Two of my favorite albums years ago were Wired and Blow By Blow, and it was a nice surprise back then when I realized that George Martin produced them both. Gee, no wonder they sound so great...

So many great songs on the two albums Martin produced for Jeff Beck. Was hoping for Goodbye Porkpie Hat from Wired, but I'll take this with no qualms.
-
"Sgt Pepper/Day in the Life" which really shoulda been the set-closer but whatevs.

They're both great and way rarer than the ubiquitous "Freeway Jam", which is great too, but need not be played.

Definitely CWEAL. But I have the same trouble with almost everything else on Blow by Blow and Wired, except "Freeway Jam".

This taken from a Slate.com tribute:
Soon after hooking up with America, Martin was recruited by Beck to produce the legendary guitarist and former Yardbird’s second solo effort and first instrumental album, Blow by Blow. The album kept one foot in the blues-rock world for which Beck had been known, but also proved a showcase for Beck’s surprising prowess with jazz-fusion and funk. As producer, Martin added string arrangements—typical for Martin, fairly radical for Beck—but eschewed studio wizardry, preferring to simply sharpen and help execute Beck’s best ideas: “I think that the sounds that you get are 99 percent of what you get in the studio rather than what you get in the control room,” said Martin in a 1978 interview. “ … I said this to [Beck] at the outset, I said, ‘I’m not gonna give you any magic if you’re thinking of that; I’m not gonna give you sounds that you’ve never had before.’ I said, ‘The sounds are gonna have to come from your guitar and you’re gonna have to work on ’em.’ And we worked on ’em together, you know.” The album proved to be one of Beck’s crowning artistic achievements, and the two collaborated once again on his follow-up album, Wired.

ooo! backward masking!!
OMFG! My longtime request for "No More Lonely Nights" finally makes it. BOS2.
-
"Sgt Pepper/Day in the Life" which really shoulda been the set-closer but whatevs.
Bonus points for letting the end note play out all the way, including the endgroove loop.

Given AL's enthusiastic response to your request on FB last night, I was pretty confident we'd get this one. This is looking like another of those sets where BOS voting is useless, as they're all great.
ETA: Is this David Gilmour doing the guitar solo at the end of this one? It certainly has his sound all over it.

The obligatory America track with its Harrison-soundalike guitar intro

Who's the guitarist on that? Sounds like Beck again, possibly David Gilmour.
ETA: Googling confirms that it's Gilmour! A nice surprise at the end of the tune.

Good call - according to Wikipedia, it's David Gilmour.

And now the obligatory Ringo track.
-
Ringo and pals in the sub.

One of their better hits from this era. Including the nice couplet "I've been one poor correspondent; I've been too too hard to find..."
-
The obligatory America track with its Harrison-soundalike guitar intro
Gee I never knew he produced America, but I'll admit that I liked them a lot back in the day. No coincidence I spose...

I think he did four of their albums in the 70s, which would make him involved with quite a few of their hits.

more studio wizardry: "Strawb Fields"
"crannnnnberrrrrysssauccccce...."
-
"LSD"
-
Cranberry sauce...
-
BOS3 "Tomorrow Never Knows"

Starting with their 3rd LP.

BOS3 "Tomorrow Never Knows"
Love this one. Funny them talking about running John's voice through a Leslie speaker, but it sounds quite natural to me. More so than on "LSD", for instance.
ETA: there's more of that effect on the third (?) verse.
-
Martin on how to produce the right way -->"Golden Slumbers Medley"

Nice song(s) to end with, if this has to end. Fifth Beatle indeed!!

Any truth to the rumor that it's not Ringo playing the drum solo in "The End"? That's what I'd always heard. (and that it was Paul)

Wow, I never heard that, would be really surprised if it was true...

I haven't heard that either; I always thought it sounded very Ringo-ish. I know Paul played drums on a number of other songs, particularly on the White Album.

Maybe I am thinking of something on the White Album. The "literature" certainly says that it was Ringo.

yeah, didn't he supposedly "walk out" for a week during the White Album sessions? My memory is a bit hazy but I think I heard that somewhere.

6. The Beatles - Yellow Submarine

Yep. McCartney played drums on Dear Prudence, and the drum track on Back in the USSR was a collaboration of the other three members.

No. 5 appears to be a bust-out.
Typo, I'm assuming: it's #4 (the McCartney) that's a bustout; the America was played 8 times by Morey alone.
