Giles Martin talks The Beatles White Album with Pete Mitchell

[@energeticenterprizes4974]

Giles clearly loves the boys in the same way, with the same passion of his dad. He's protective, and folds his wings around them., much the way George always did...his voice softens when speaking directly about them, and his pulse quickens with obvious pride. It's just so very right. Thank God for this beautiful continuation of admiration!

[@SirHatchporch]

I like how Giles doesn't just regurgitate the stock party line analysis and endlessly rehashed accounts of the Beatles' legacy -- some of which, as he notes, just aren't factual -- and has his own opinions. He also has a lot of his father in him, which is quite haunting. As a lifelong Beatles fan, I love what Giles is doing with their music and heritage.

I found it refreshing to hear Mr. Martin gently correcting what has been wrongly printed about that time in their recording lives. We all know Ringo took a holiday during that time, but his homecoming was beautifully done. What a great band they were.

[@worstxb1playertylerteehc635]

The Super deluxe remaster by Giles is just sublime. It has brought the White Album up to date and it sounds like it was recorded yesterday. Just terrific work. Kudos. He certainly is his Father's son.

[@JohnCee754]

Congratulations to Giles Martin for making this interview interesting, despite the constant interruptions by an interviewer who is only half listening to the answers.

[@mysongs6745]

It's nice to see how Giles has become such an important part of the beautiful experience that is the Beatles. His late father's musical knowledge and guidance helped channel the Fab Four's creativity to its heights. Two very talented, good men. A pleasure to watch. Thank you.

[@allenf.5907]

Giles GETS it and understands just as his dad did. Important music that will stand the test of time.

[@Fontsman]

Mitchell just regurgitating mythology. Martin subtly correcting him with facts.

[@tomokra]

Exactly! It's funny how much this stuff seems alive to Mr Martin but dead as a doornail to the other fellow. Martin says when he listens to Julia his reaction is to marvel at how good it is. The other fellow is totally un-interested in observations like that. I'm not sure he even heard it.

[@drutgat2]

Or, rather, Martin is giving his interpretation of the facts, just as Mitchell is giving his 'version'/interpretation of the facts. The reason that the idea of recording The White Album was full of tension was because each of The Beatles said it; Geoff Emerick says it. Ringo left during the recording....time and age sometimes change opinions, and I think that has happened a bit here. Ken Scott loved his time recording The White Album. Glyn Johns said he never experienced any tension during the recording of 'Let It Be'; he also said that the authors of 'Recording The Beatles' got everything they said about him in that book wrong. And Glyn Johns also gets some Beatles facts wrong in his own book. One could go on, and on.

[@tomokra]

I'm not taking about facts. Martin is engaged with the art. The other fellow wants tot all about gossip. Who gives a shit, at this late date, about the gossip? Surely the only reason to care about this anymore is because the music moves you? If it's all about proving who was mad at who 50 years ago, who gives a shit?

[@peterwoods35]

He's a complete idiot.

[@sirarmysuit9848]

The trouble is, there are real fans who still regurgitate the same things as Mitchell. There has been a mass of brilliant Beatles books in more recent times but some fans are still spouting the same nonsense that appeared in articles and books back in the 70s/early 80s

[@TheJayson8899]

Lol. I love how Giles sticks to his guns. What an absolute legend. Not afraid in the slightest to blatantly disagree and correct.

[@allenf.5907]

Giles is so wonderful to hear as always. with what the project is/was and how his dad was affected by it (classroom gone mad). Essentially it was THE businessmen Beatles now calling the shots and the creativity and musicality was able to grow and flow at any time until it was right. -Competitive nature indeed. We can learn so much from Giles Martin. Thanks for sharing.

[@mrfester42]

What I love about this interview is that Mitchell says something as if it's a fact and Giles forthrightly responds, "NO. I don't think..." Mitchel is talking myth as if it's the same thing as fact. Everything that Giles is saying actually makes more sense AND is verified by what all four Beatles have said time and again I'm so happy to hear Giles speak out against all the nonsense but the power of myth is very strong and people want to hear that there was animosity and discord and fighting and unrest. Of course there was all that to a degree but not anything near what many people have come to believe. Mitchell keeps trying to make blanket one dimensional statements about what the band was doing and what each of the four was like. He can't get it through his head that the four were, like most people, complex multidimensional personalities with contradictions and good and bad. At one point Mitchell says, "They were hippies..." He's struggling to make them one dimensional and to fit into the myth. He is a lousy interviewer and I'm so glad that Giles stands up to the one sided thinking of this guy.

[@13donstalos]

Giles' description is perfect: Right when you think you understand what the album is, it slaps you across the face by introducing a completely novel genre and style in the next song. While it lacks the cohesion of Sgt. Pepper, it somehow still feels like a concept album.

[@johnnywires943]

I grew up with the Beatles and read everything to do about them in those days.Collected all sorts of Beatle things and even joined the Beatle club where i used to get their monthly mags.Still have them.There is not much i dont know about them and one thing i do know is that you can never pick a best Beatle album.From a Hard Days Night onwards they were all great.I used to think it was Peppers and then The White album,then Revolve,then one day Help hits you and the great Rubber Soul.In short,they were all great.When you get Abbey Road number one again after 50 years,you know these 4 were unique.There will never be anything like them again.So glad i got to share my life with their music.Simply the best.

This the perfect example of an interviewer who needs to talk less and listen more. Thankfully Giles Martin is so good he shines through anyway.

[@SeanPopify]

I sort of agree... The Love soundtrack was a re-interpretation and his work is okay because it was never meant to be a reissue of a final album. Geoff Emerick, on the other hand, actually worked on Sgt. Pepper and had a lot of negative things to say about that reissue. Mainly because they worked very hard to take common sounds and make them unrecognizable. It was the Beatles intent to do it that way and now the artists' original intent has been violated by "cleaning up" the original work. The Geoff Emerick interview was, I believe, for the Australian ABC Network. It is an absolute shame that he passed away. He had years of insight to share that disappeared with his demise.

[@strathman7501]

Small correction: John didn't say of "the movement you need is on your shoulder" that it was "the only good line in the song." Giles portrays this as John being snarky and critical. But in fact John loved and respected Hey Jude as a "masterpiece" and said "it's the best line in it" intending to encourage Paul to keep it in.

@@lucasoheyze4597 Why? Generally Giles has been faithful to the original mixes but have added more warmth, dynamics and clarity to the proceedings. The original mixes lacked bottom end as back in the 60s they had to reduce the bass level before creating the masters for the vinyl albums. Why? Because back then the gramophones weren't able to replay sections with heavy bass without distortion. Please read Geoff Emerick's brilliant book if you don't believe me. What Giles Martin has accomplished is closer to The Beatles own vision IMHO and sounds much better on my Hi-Fi system than the 2019 remasters. How can anyone hate that?

Perhaps a conversation between a man who knows more than the other man, but Giles Martin gets it wrong, too. John NEVER said about Hey Jude, "That's the only good line in the song." What he actually said, we can argue no one can say, but Paul, who recounted the incident, said John protested Paul saying, "I'll be taking that out," and said "You won't, you know! That's the BEST line in the song." There's a whopping difference between only and best. But yes, this interviewer is obnoxious.

Mitchell interrupts Giles (the person who he is 'interviewing'); does not listen to Giles's answers, and reveals a slipshod and unprofessional approach to research (in which he knows one or two of the facts surrounding something, but then gets the rest wrong because - as he admits - he has not pursued various stories fully, thereby revealing an almost studied ignorance). If I were his bosses at Virgin Radio UK, I would never again let Pete Mitchell near an interview gig.

In 1967 it was said that The Beatles signed a multi year contract. So, in order to fulfill the contract and and while John was in India he wrote something like 20-30 songs alone. Paul had written something like 12 songs. George had written like 12 himself. Ringo had two songs. So because of all that The Beatles apart or alone were keen to put a lot of it out. The fact that they got it down to 30 is really impressive.

One of the things I enjoyed with Giles is his take on John saying that they were breaking up during the white album. Giles just kind of grimaces a bit showing that he would disagree with John's take on it and wonder why he felt that way when all the tapes show a different understanding. John could be such a hypocrite. He was negative on so many things but then would try and make you think he was such a positive guy. Giles does a very good job explaining what he came to understand about those sessions and how it was different than what John was espousing later on when reflecting about those times. Not sure if Pete Mitchell should've been doing this interview. I would've asked more technical questions about the recordings of certain songs instead of if they were getting along. Like what was he doing on the remastering that was so different than what his Dad did. I think his Dad would be proud of Giles work and give it a thumbs up. Classy guy. Just my 2¢. Good day mates.

[@AZDC99]

I didn't think I could get excited about a Beatles re-release again. But Giles Martin delivers the goods! Just as improved as advertised. He went to the bare tracks and remixed it instrument by instrument. ( The Sergeant Pepper's remix is even more important because that album was only mixed with the stereo mix as an afterthought. That being said, I prefer The White Album. This remix makes it even better.)

Geoff’s book is a favorite of mine. Well told. Honest. Detailed.

[@davidkemmer]

Yes. I too have read Emeric's book and yes it was a toxic environment to the point where he left the band for and extended period of time do to the bad vibes/fighting that was going on. George Martin has stated the same many times so I have to wonder why Giles argues otherwise. Perhaps he's trying to shed light in another direction so as to make the story fresh so that it won't sound simply like another rehash. It's important in my opinion also to recognize that Giles, as the son of George was a child at the time the Beatles were making records and as such he really is not much of an "expert" simply by association. He was not there at the sessions and really he only has his opinion which is probably only slightly more valuable that those of a person who has studied the history of this band. To put it bluntly, I reject the notion that somehow Giles, by virtue of the fact that he is the son of the Beatles record producer is somehow and expert on what actually went on. George Martin himself has given many interviews over the years and stated how the band had grown apart around the White Album time span. Enough said.

[@matttargett2009]

Apparently Geoff's book was pieced together from a number of sources because even then Geoff's memory was pretty poor. Also, Geoff's bias against George and (a lesser extent) John kind of devalues the book for me. I don't think it is accurate, honest or more than 30% true. Geoff gave many interviews later where he completely contradicted statements form the book because he couldn't remember and he didn't really write it.

Paul walked out during Revolver. George walked out during Let it Be and Ringo walked out during the White Album.

I’m so glad the long standing myth is proven to be a lie because if you listen to the outtakes you hear a band that is tight and cooperative with each other. I blame a lot of this myth to Geoff Emmerick who to his fault was an extremely sensitive guy. During the 50th pepper release Emerick gave an interview in which he said he was still hurt 50 years later by a statement Lennon made to him during these sessions. He refused to say what it was but was still holding onto it. He was overly sensitive. John always said acerbic things. Ask Freda Kelly. But that was him. He said it and moved on and then forgot he said it. But that is not an indication that these sessions were combative.

Happiness is warm gun sounds so much better than it did before. The bass intro is awesome!!

Did I just listen to a 23 minute interview about the White Album with "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" getting 0 mentions?

I've always thought "Helter Skelter" sounds like Led Zeppelin,..but wait they hadn't come out yet 🤔. I mean really the intro banging quaver notes and George's answering guitar to Paul signing helter skelter.90% of the Led Zeppelin sound they developed quite successfully, in this one song. I guess it was Christmas 68 I got 2 albums Electric Ladyland and the White album still incredible.

First time I heard Giles do an (amazing) impression of his dad (at 2:07).
