| Produced by George Martin DVD |
Nov 2 2012 – The press release of this DVD gives the following summary of the movie:
The documentary is a feature-length profile of Britain’s most celebrated record producer. In this very personal film, Sir George talks about his childhood, his war experience and his early days as a music student. Originally broadcast to great acclaim in 2011 as part of the BBC’s “Arena” series, this version contains over 50 minutes of additional interviews not included in the TV broadcast version. These extras include contributions from Rick Rubin, T-Bone Burnett, Howard Goodall, Jimmy Webb and Ken Scott.
Truly, George Martin has had a career like no other. In the early ’50s, he joined EMI/Parlophone and started working on orchestral music, music for children and single- handedly pioneered a range of hugely successful comedy records with Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, Peter Ustinov and others. Then, in 1962, he signed The Beatles and everything changed. Together, George Martin and The Beatles revolutionized pop music and recording techniques, forging probably the greatest producer/artist collaboration there will ever be.
Produced By George Martin features numerous classic clips of the artists he has produced, and new interviews with many of them including Sir Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Michael Palin, Jeff Beck, Rolf Harris, Cilla Black, Millicent Martin and Bernard Cribbins. A fascinating man, and a compelling film.
The DVD itself provides a very in depth look at the legend of Martin. Starting with candid views of his wife and son the now 86 year old but heathy looking Martin lets the viewer into his posh lifestyle and mansion home. Of note every song in the movie was produced by Martin. Very old footage of England brings a sence of romanticism to the movie – back to a day where people still wore suits and ties. A very steady pace gives a compelling glimpse inside the music industry and the man who was instrumental in forming the way things are done even today. Very entertaining and highly recommended!
