A Must Have Book!!!!!!!!

RECORDING THE BEATLES by Brian Kehew and Kevin Ryan is a book about exactly that! It tells and shows the reader the studio equipment and techniques used to create their classic albums, from please please me through to abbey road. From the early 2 mic drum set up to the 1967 6 mic drum set up! Mic types and where they were used. Amps and guitars that were used on what songs! Recording processes! the incredibly short amount of time taken to record each album. Techniques that were created that are still widely used in today's recording industry. Full of great pictures and diagrams and some great history on abbey road recording studios and also other studios they used! This is a Must Have Book for Recording enthusiast and Beatles fans alike! Published by curvebender publishing. I find myself constantly flicking through this brilliant book!
