    oh i did not mean to, my friend. I entirely agree. Martin chose Emerick because he knew he would ram heads with the white coats to get the sound he wanted. I hate it when the Beatles get upset about Martin & co. being given credit. He was just as big a part of it as any of them.

    But yeah, George Martin and Brian Wilson are my two favorite producers ever. I think Emerick just helped take some of the pressure off of George when it came to fulfilling these far out ideas.

    You are selling George Martin way too short my friend. Geoff Emerick was essential for sure and added much to their stable of songs but Martin was the genius in that room.

    NO, it was agreed back when John and Paul wrote their first song together that every song written by Lennon or McCartney or both would be credited to Lennon/McCartney. They both knew exactly who wrote what. There were only two major disputes over just who wrote what…”In My Life” and “Eleanor Rigby”. Every other song has been agreed upon who wrote what and how much each contributed to each song.

    It ends when Geoff Emerick joins on Revolver. He made hundreds of innovative techniques possible for them, including a louder bass signal, ADT, transforming instruments/vocals with EQ and distorting them with Compression. Running Lennon’s voice through a Leslie cab to create the vocals on “Tomorrow Never Knows”. Tons of stuff.

    He basically invented the sound of The Beatles’ “studio period” and thus the sound of the 60′s.

    Back then credits weren’t given as meticulously as today. It wasn’t uncommon for several session musicians to be left off of personnel lists.

    But really it was the same with Paul. He wrote both “Yellow Submarine” and “With A Little Help..” but Lennon/McCartney is usually used to imply the whole band or “we don’t know who wrote this”.

    @buffalobraves9 i think back then, this whole credit thing in those times wasnt that big of a deal between 4 friends successful artists. simpler times..not money grabbing-times such as today. thats why all the songs are credited to lennon-mccartney, even though they didnt write All songs together.

    Strong points about Martin. But … in this instance, in this song, just strip away the business part of it and focus in on the 4 young friends. So you say Johns song, Johns idea …well there is the name Mccartney on the song credit isnt there? Yeah..Im know the business arrangment but this one song is a little different and Im thinking Lennon and Mac could have given credit where it was due. And listen, There is no bigger fan of Lennon and Mac than me. So its not about being a George fan.

    We’re not even talking about the influence of George Martin, how many songs would you have to credit him? In My Life the whole piano solo in the middle was his, For No One same thing, Yesterday’s string section…where does it end?

    I agree yet there are tons of song examples of this in the Beatles. Way too many to list. Why wasn’t George given credit on Ringo songs then…he basically wrote the entire music for Octopus’ Garden yet receives no credit. Paul’s bass lines are all uncredited, In Norwegian Wood the song was completed by John, music AND lyrics. George added the sitar in place of where his guitar would have been, still John’s song, John’s idea.

    No … song credit usually goes to the one who writes the music as well as the lyrics. In this particular instance …Harrison created the atmosphere of the song with the introduction of an entirely new instrument, thus he helped write the song.

    Then you’d have to credit Ringo for A Hard Days Night and Tomorrow Never Knows. Where do you draw the line? Nobody loves George more than me but the writing credit went to who wrote the lyrics not the licks.

    Strong points … cant disagree….but the fact that George introduced an entirely new sound to the genre with the addition of the Sitar on that particular song… he deserved a credit.

    I understand what you’re saying, but it does kind of balance itself out in the end. The sitar is great for sure and broke new ground, but for the most part it is following the melodic line (Lennon) already had. One could just as easily argue that Paul’s amazingly creative bass work deserves a “credit” as well on several of George’s songs (Taxman, Something, just to name a couple). What is Taxman w/o the bass line (AND Paul’s guitar solo)?

    Norwegian-wood should have been credited to Lennon/McCarteney and Harrison
