Why Paperback Writer Sounds So Different

Head to https://squarespace.com/parlogram to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code PARLOGRAM When Paperback Writer was released in 1966, it didn’t sound like any Beatles record that came before it. The bass was louder, heavier and far more powerful than people were used to hearing on a pop record at the time. But that sound wasn’t an accident. In this video, we take a closer look at how The Beatles, Geoff Emerick and the EMI engineers pushed recording and vinyl cutting technology right to its limits in order to create one of the most distinctive-sounding singles of the 1960s. From Paul McCartney’s Rickenbacker bass and experimental recording techniques, to Fairchild compression, ATOC cutting systems and groove wear on original UK 45s, this is the story of how Paperback Writer changed the sound of Beatles records forever. Thanks to Miles Showell for the footage of his VMS 80 lathe at Abbey Road. #TheBeatles #PaperbackWriter #Revolver #Vinyl #Beatles If you enjoyed this video, you can explore more here:    / @parlogram   Support the channel If you’d like to support the channel and help keep videos like this coming: Become a channel member:    / @parlogram   Join us on Patreon for updates, exclusive content and behind-the-scenes stories:   / parlogram   Shop with us: If you collect vinyl, you can find great-sounding Beatles and 1960s pressings here: https://www.parlogramauctions.com You can also browse our merchandise: https://parlogram-auctions.creator-sp...
