The 'Goldtop' podcast
Posted by stimpy on 19 February 2010 - 11:45am.
Just listened to the 'Goldtop' podcast; lots of interesting stuff in there for a studio rat.
If anyone is REALLY interested in how the HJHs recorded their music, can I recommend 'Recording The Beatles'. A gorgeously produced brick of a tome covering every piece of studio hardware used by the HJHs. Given EMI's predeliction for building their own kit, it covers stuff never before described. Some lovely pictures of anonymous grey tin boxes as well.
An unbelievably nerdy book to be sure but esssential for anyone interested in the serial numbers of EMI hardware :-)
I have no connection with it other than having spent hours poring over it's descriptions of precisely what *every* knob on the REDD37 mixing desk does.

Agreed, it is very good.
I mentioned it on this thread but not sure if it was noted at the time.
I don't own a copy, but I looked at a copy owned by a friend and it does seem very in-depth.
