Man Behind the Music - George Martin

BUT THERE IS STILL ONE MORE MAN WHO?S PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN THIS AMAZING BEATLE
STORY. HE REALLY DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A GENIE, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND HE DOESN'T
NECESSARILY LOOK LIKE AN OBOE PLAYER WHO ONCE CONDUCTED CLASSICAL MUSIC
EITHER. BUT HE WAS JUST THAT. HIS NAME, GEORGE MARTIN. '
HE SELECTS THE MUSIC, THE MATERIAL, AND THE SUCCESS OF THE BEATLES IS A
COMMENTARY ON GEORGE MARTIN'S ABILITY.
WHILE THE FORMULA FOR BEATLEMANIA WAS BEING SAMPLED ON THE CONTINENT,
AMERICA'S FIRST EXPOSURE TO THE BEATLES CAME IN SHORT BURSTS FROM SMALL
RECORD COMPANIES UNABLE TO MARSHAL THE PROMOTIONAL KICK-OFF NEEDED TO
PROPERLY INTRODUCE THE YOUNG SINGERS TO AMERICA. THAT'S WHEN CAPITOL
RECORDS DECIDED TO TAKE OVER DISTRIBUTION AND PLANNED A FULL-SCALE, COAST-TO-
COAST MASTER PLAN AND THE BEATLES HAD THE WINNING COMBINATION TO MEET
AMERICA.

This song appears on UK/US Albums:
