Geoff Emerick, the sound engineer behind many of the Beatles’ albums, has just released a book with a large number of insights into their recording process. antiMusic.com has an article about the book with a few samples, including the story of how Abbey Road got its name and some hidden lyrics on “Hey Jude.” Anyone had a chance to check this book out yet? It looks like a good read.
UPDATE: Tim at The Face Of Today has a recent Beatles post, and upon reading this did a little mp3 magic and has a copy of the “Hey Jude” clip in question. I still have a little trouble hearing it to tell you the truth, but that’s the idea isn’t it?
