‘Recording The Beatles’ at Museum of Making Music

Months ago I raved about the RTB Book — Recording The Beatles, by Kevin Ryan and Brian Kehew. This exquisite $100 tome isn’t for everyone, but for its intended audience it’s the finest work of its kind — the only work of its kind — ever published.

RTB - Recording The Beatles

The authors will be speaking at the Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad, CA, on November 17. Wish I could be there!

And I’ll take this opportunity to toss in another plug for Geoff Emerick’s fascinating remembrance, Here, There and Everywhere: My Life Recording the Music of THE BEATLES.

New Tube Radio

A recording of the song ‘Layla’ is on the audio player. It was taken from an FM tube radio.

Bad reception? An old LP played with a broken needle? No! Quite the opposite. It’s from the most advanced, state-of-the-art FM radio ever devised. It’s not a tube radio, but a nano-tube radio! Edwin Armstrong would be pleased.
