ARTIST INFO:

Sir George Martin CBE was The Beatles’ producer, arranger and mentor, who signed them to EMI and worked on the vast majority of songs throughout their career.

Martin was told about Brian Epstein, who was managing a pop group that had been turned down by the majority of labels including Decca. He arranged to meet Epstein on 13 February 1962, where he heard the Decca recordings, which he thought “unpromising”. He did, however, think well of John Lennon  and Paul McCartney’s vocals.

The pair met again on 9 May at Abbey Road, where they agreed a contract without Martin having met The Beatles or seen them perform. The contract, which he felt gave him “nothing to lose”, promised The Beatles a royalty of one penny for each record sold.

George Martin agreed to sign the contract only when he had heard an audition from the band. This took place on 6 June 1962, produced by Ron Richards with engineer Norman Smith Martin was not present at the session, but did meet the band and listened to the recordings. While he thought the band’s original songs below par, he was impressed by their wit: when he asked them if there was anything they didn’t like, George Harrison replied, “I don’t like your tie”. From then on the session was filled with jokes, which warmed Martin towards them.

The Beatles returned to Abbey Road on 4 September, with new drummer Ringo Starr , for their first session with George Martin. He made them record “How Do You Do It”’, which the band reluctantly agreed to, along with “Love Me Do”’ and a slower version of Please,Please Me’.

Unhappy with Ringo’s drumming, Martin made them re-record Love Me Do a week later with session drummer Andy White. 

Please Please Me was recorded in November 1962. At the end of the session, he addressed the band from the control room, telling them: “Gentlemen, you have just made your first number one record.”

“Unhappy with Ringo’s drumming, Martin made them re-record Love Me Do a week later with session drummer Andy White.”

Not true. If you watch Anthology, both Starr and Martin agree that Martin had booked Andy White to replace Pete Best, because Martin didn’t like Best.

Ringo actually showed up to play on Love Me Do, but Martin had already booked White. Martin said “I don’t even know who you are” to Ringo. He said he was burned once (with Best). He was going to use Andy White.

Ringo played on the second recording of Love Me Do. This is all spelled out clearly if you watch Anthology when Best was replaced by Starr.

Pete Best played during the first EMI session on 6 June 1962; Ringo played on 4 September; Andy White on 11 September. George Martin booked White because he didn’t want to take any more chances with the song (as you quote, “I don’t even know who you are”), as the 4 September version – featuring Ringo – wasn’t satisfactory.

As for Anthology, Ringo says Andy White was pre-booked because of Pete Best, while Paul McCartney says George Martin didn’t like Ringo’s drumming (“to George he was not as pinpoint as a session guy would be”). Either way it seems clear that Martin was unhappy with Ringo’s drumming, otherwise he’d have used him on the third Love Me Do session.

George Martin didn’t even produce the 11 September session featuring Andy White; Ron Richards did. Martin only arrived towards the end, when they were recording an early version of Please Please Me.

Many early Beatles songs were rehearsed and arranged on the spot in the studio, immediately prior to recording. As The Beatles’ confidence and curiosity in the studio grew, George Martin encouraged them to experiment, and gradually the old conventions of recording was questioned and often discarded.

After The Beatles’ break-up, George Martin continued to produce a range of artists via his company Associated Independent Recording (AIR). He worked with Jeff Beck, Tom Jones, Celine Dion and many more, and in 1979 opened a studio in Montserrat.
