Pressetext:
MAXIMUM VOLUME education, and his musical influences at London’s Guildhall School of Music and Drama profoundly shaped his early career in the BBC’s Classical Music department and as head of the EMI Group’s Parlophone Records. These musical influences would become the fount out of which flowed the genius behind his seven years producing the Beatles’ incredible body of work, including such albums as RUBBER SOUL, REVOLVER, SGT. PEPPER’S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND, and ABBEY ROAD.

The first book of a two-part series, MAXIMUM VOLUME traces MARTIN’s early years as a scratch pianist, his life in the Fleet Air Arm during the Second World War, and his groundbreaking work as the head of Parlophone Records during the 1950s, when MARTIN saved the company from ruin after making his name as a producer of comedy and spoken-word recordings. In its most dramatic moments, MAXIMUM VOLUME narrates the story of MARTIN’s unlikely discovery of the Beatles and his painstaking efforts to prepare their newfangled sound for the British music marketplace. As the story unfolds, MARTIN and the band craft numerous Number 1 hits along the group’s progress towards THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW and such landmark songs as Yesterday and In My Life – Beatles tunes that bear MARTIN’s unmistakable musical signature.
