JPGR&B SUBS 14th Apr 2024		Book Jerry Hammack - The Beatles' Recording Techniques	"The Beatles’ Recording Techniques" Book Coming from Author Jerry Hammack 910 Public Relations, 8 April 2024 Musician, producer and recording engineer Jerry Hammack, author of The Beatles Recording Reference Manuals series, will release The Beatles’ Recording Techniques – a new book that explains how to create and mix music in the spirit of the Fab Four’s legendary sound – on April 23, 2024. “Studio professionals, home studio-based artists and engineers have long sought to get that ‘Abbey Road’ sound in their recordings, and now they can learn how,” says Hammack. “But this is not a ‘recipe’ book, so to speak. It details how to make music with modern tools in the way the Beatles did – and to take those tools and techniques and apply them to your own creative output.” The Beatles Recording Techniquesincludes information on: - The equipment that gave birth to the iconic EMI (later renamed Abbey Road) Studios sound and their contemporary emulations: including consoles, outboard processing, effects, microphones and more. - The fundamental signal routing for sessions at EMI using both the REDD and TG consoles and how to recreate them in your DAW with both stock and third-party plugins. - The recording principles and practices of George Martin, Norman Smith, Geoff Emerick, Ken Scott and Glyn Johns that defined The Beatles' sound, whether working in mono, twin-track, four-track or eight-track. - Insights into how the team at EMI approached the recording of every type of instrument and amplifier, including the use of effects, tape loops, and pioneering recording methods. - The fundamentals of creating authentic sonic landscapes that capture the spirit of EMI Recording Studios. Hammack’s exhaustive research includes countless book, audio, video, photographic, and other sources. "The Beatles' Recording Techniques is more than a history lesson,” he says. “It's a practical guide for the modern musician and audio professional. The knowledge contained within these pages will empower people to replicate the distinctive EMI sound while encouraging innovation in their own music.” Hammack’s previous books, The Beatles Recording Reference Manuals, have all been Amazon #1 bestsellers in both the US and UK, and volumes 1 and 3 were nominated for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound by The Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC). He has dedicated over 35 years to the musical arts and is uniquely qualified to sort out the story of The Beatles’ recordings. From his home in Toronto, Canada, he explains, “Understanding the nuts and bolts of how these songs were produced and recorded can open up a whole new world of creativity for the home studio community.” Producer and engineer John Leckie, an Abbey Road Studios alumnus who has worked with John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison among others, calls Hammack’s new book “a total immersion in recreating The Beatles' sound in your digital workstation in a way that is not only instantly recognisable, authentic and professional, but also serves as an ideal starting point for your personal creativity. If you love The Beatles' sound and want to achieve it both sonically and in terms of production techniques, this book is a must-have. It fully explains how to use your DAW in emulating correct Abbey Road practices, with great suggestions for everything from microphones, instrumentation and amplification to effects that will inspire you to paint your own pictures in sound!” An essential companion for any music professional – as well as for Beatles fans, scholars and students – the new book can be purchased at beatlesrecordingtechniques.com or on Amazon. Jerry Hammack is represented by 910 Public Relations, and is available for interviews, book signings, and speaking engagements. Copies of his book are available for review upon request.

JPGR&B SUBS 28th Mar 2024		Book Michael Seth Starr - Ringo	Translation of Notes: Translation: In the 1960s, when Richard Starkey became known worldwide as Ringo Starr, the general public was unaware of the personal battles that the young man had already faced. Born in 1940 in Dingle, one of the busiest neighborhoods in Liverpool, the Beatle – who in 2018 received the honor of “sir” from British royalty – had a difficult childhood, marked by little schooling, serious illnesses and long hospital stays. Despite his classic discretion, Ringo was already considered the best drummer in Liverpool when John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison invited him to join the band The Beatles. Today, almost six

JPGR&B SUBS 16th Mar 2024		Book Various Authors - The McCartney Legacy Volume 1: 1969-73	From the publisher's website on 28 February 2022: The story of the Beatles has been told many times, covering all periods and perspectives. Paul McCartney’s work in the 50 years since the Fab Four’s breakup has been extraordinarily successful and enduringly popular – his 26 post-Beatles albums have sold upwards of 86.5 million copies; McCartney’s 2019 Freshen Up tour is the highest grossing in the world; and his last solo album McCartney III debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and number two on Billboard 200. Beside his extraordinary, creative solo output, he has collaborated with the most influential artists of his generation and the next: from Elvis Costello to Stevie Wonder, from Michael Jackson to Dave Grohl, even with Johnny Cash and Kanye West. McCartney, too, has explored new poetry styles with Allen Ginsburg and teamed up with Peter Martins and the NYC Ballet to create Ocean’s Kingdom. The list goes on from there. And he has done all this post-Beatles and while maintaining a mostly normal family life. Paul McCartney has lived ten lifetimes in the span of one and has remained as artistically driven and relevant as he has always been, yet curiously, his creative output since the Beatles has never had the full exploration such a life and body of work demands. The McCartney Legacy gives McCartney’s post-Beatles life and work the kind of in-depth treatment that Mark Lewisohn has given the Beatles, and Philip Norman has given John Lennon. It is the first truly comprehensive biography, and the most finely detailed exploration of McCartney’s creative life beyond the Beatles, ever undertaken.
JPGR&B SUBS 14th Mar 2024		CD Album Roger Hodgson - In The Eye Of The Storm	I approached Andrew Garver recently about his digitial remaster of the album, asking if he could remember when the remastering would have taken place. His response was "I don’t have an exact date for the re-issue of The Eye Of The Storm by Roger Hodgson, but I think it was around 1997. A&M was making a push to archive masters and part of that was to also re-release CDs. Hope that helps. Sorry I don’t have more information for you."
