Beatles Auction 2021 - Telegram to Beatles Sound Engineer Geoff Emerick from Neil Aspinall

GPO Telegram to Geoffrey Emerick from Neil (Aspinall) and All at No3 (Apple Offices) to congratulate him on his winning a Grammy for his work on The Beatles Abbey Road LP  

£100-£120




~~

Geoff Emerick began working at EMI from the age of 16. His second day of work was the first time Ringo drummed in the studio with The Beatles. 

He worked as an assistant engineer on some of the early Beatles singes before his ongoing training limited his involvement with the band.

In 1966 he became their sound engineer from the Revolver album onwards. He stopped working with them during the White Album session due to the tension in the studio but returned for the recording of Abbey Road. 

In 1969 he oversaw the building of Apple Studios at 3 Savile Row.

He won GRAMMYs for sound engineering on Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Abbey Road and the Paul McCartney and Wings album Band On The Run.
