Here, There & Everywhere: My Life Recording The Music Of The Beatles
Geoff Emerick began working with the Beatles at Abbey Road studios at the age of 15 -- and from age 19 on was the chief recording engineer for the band, in charge of the recording of such seminal albums as "Revolver," "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," and "Abbey Road." "Here, There & Everywhere" brings to life the creative process of the band in the studio and reveal never-before-told stories of the recording techniques he pioneered to give them their unique sound. Since the breakup of the Beatles, Emerick he has worked extensively with Paul McCartney, as well as other major artists such as Elvis Costello (who contributes a forward to the book), Art Garfunkel, Badfinger, America and Jeff Beck. Co-author Howard Massey is a veteran music journalist who has written 11 books and hundreds of feature articles and reviews for such publications as Billboard, Blender and EQ.

Led Zeppelin may have disbanded in 1980, but the band's legacy lives on. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham always insisted that the music they made, onstage or in the studio, was the most important thing. With many rare and seldom-seen photographs, this book turns away from Zeppelin's well-chronicled antics on the road to explore what made them the biggest rock band of their day and an enduring influence on generations of musicians.Keith Shadwick, author of the acclaimed Jimi Hendrix: Musician, has written an in-depth assessment of Zeppelin's greatness and their central position in the history of rock music.
