Huvittavaa artikkelissa on se, että itse Geoff Emerick on liittynyt samaa kuoroon, vaikka itsehän se sen aloitti. Pojjaat halusivat levyihinsä "lisää passoa ja kaikki kovemmalle..."
It was the amount of bass and also the level the loudness that fascinated us. You see, there were certain things that we weren't allowed to do. There were limitations on how much bass we were allowed to have on, because, in the early days, there had been one particular Beatles single that was mastered and it jumped skipped. They'd pressed about a quarter of a million of them and they had to redo them all. After that, for any Beatles single that was cut in England, everyone was instructed to cut all bass below 50 cycles.
You just had to roll it all off.
Yes, and it also had to be two to two-and-a-half dB quieter than any other records. It was ridiculous, but they were selling in those huge quantities, which, of course, had never been done before, and they were afraid the records would jump. Later on, when I was The Beatles' engineer, we had a discussion which became quite heated with the manager, myself, The Beatles and George Martin, and it was decided that we would be allowed to cut them louder.
