An Illustrated Memoir

The Autobiography of George Martin

A Singed and Numbered Limited Edition Book/CD Set of 2,000 Copies, this one being #847. 

This beautiful book is in excellent new condition as it has never been handled beyond a cursory look when first received 22 years ago.  It is still in the original packaging and shipping box and is therefore in pristine condition. 

Quarter black leather, buckram cloth, silver edges, silver tooling, chromium name-plate, 327pp, housed in a specially designed, hinged solander box, the cover of which is fashioned to give the appearance of a loudspeaker. The inside panels resemble part of a control desk and a turntable; the latter houses the accompanying Playback CD.  Also includes promo brochure.

In 1962, as head of Parlophone Records, George Martin signed a new band from Liverpool that had been turned down by nearly every other label in Britain. The rest is history. He went on to record EVERY track made by The Beatles and is now considered to have been a vital influence on their sound, enabling them to realize their ideas as their music became increasingly ambitious. The world's most successful music producer has now written a charming memoir of his life and career that is offered in only 2000 signed issues.
