Groovy Glyn Johns - producer, engineer and collaborator for The Beatles Get Back Let It Be

[@kingslaphappy1533]

George Martin having dinner with Glyn putting his mind at ease about producing as well as engineering…2 legendary music producers right there at the same table.

[@JohnnyCameo]

Glyn’s finest moment in the Get Back movie: George (twanging): “Glyn! Is this in tune?” Glyn: “It’s good enough for skiffle”

[@lettuceboy2382]

Which is what McCartney said in 1991 during his MTV unplugged special. I wonder if he remembered it from Glyn

[@JohnnyCameo]

@ I didn’t know that. Thanks!

[@toddo401]

Greetings. I just today came across your channel. Being a big Beatles fan, I'm very surprised I hadn't run across your videos. Happily, today I did! Three cheers, thumbs up, and well done! I'll definitely be checking out your channel. Thanks for all your efforts and hard work!

He’s also consistently the best dressed individual in the Get Back footage.

[@longbranchmike488]

Being better dressed than the stars is trying to upstage them, esp cuz it's being filmed.

Those are amazing contributions Glyn made. Thanks for spotlighting his contributions so well.

[@FlipDahlenburg]

'Amazing'. Most overused word on the planet, usually used by empty-headed chicks.

[@joanalderson6622]

Thank you for this - amazing record of their composing process. Loved Glyn’s book - so glad people are writing these books, creating films while we can still remember.

[@FlipDahlenburg]

Recording drums in stereo is NOT called 'the Glyn Johns method'. He's referring to using to mics positioned for bringing out the full kit sound. Not necessarily in stereo. Ringo's been in stereo many times before Glyn Johns arrived.

[@TheArtofBlues]

Its the fender hang tags on the amps for me.

[@PaulinaAngel]

The Get Back album is my favorite version of those recordings, Glyn is the man !!!

[@buttercup1765]

To be in the company of the coolest cats and hold your own in every way👋

[@FlipDahlenburg]

Paul isn't too happy about Glyn's telling him what to play, Paul knows what to play and wants to work it out himself. But they're all on camera, so Paul let's it slide.

[@handlessbeggar11]

Apparently the idea behind the Get Back concept had its origin with how well the Hey Jude/Revolution promo video shoot went with Michael Lindsay-Hogg. At that time things were frosty, Ringo literally had just come back after leaving The White Album sessions and they found being in a controlled environment with an audience ( not screaming fans a la concert ) was fun. They even used Twickenham for the David Frost filmed introduction. Hence why using Glyn in a similar role that Lindsay-Hogg had played seemed a better fit than having George Martin playing producer

[@taketwo-e5u]

The Beatles always had that sense of humour and were so funny. You can see why George Martin was taken by their northern humour. He had recorded a lot of comedy prior. When they first went to the US they were asked when they would get a hair cut, George said 'I had mine cut yesterday'.

[@MarvinandGentry]

One word: G O A T

[@Tom-hk6ub]

Please talk about Chris Thomas's contributions. He was there during the White Album , Let it Be and Abbey Road recording sessions and acted as producer for several tracks .

[@MattValtezzy95]

Thank you for starting off the video with Paul's, "Yes Glyn Johns, what chu want?" One of my favorite bits in Get Back tbh

[@marcjohnson9270]

Great vid! What a legend, hangin with rock royality, cool as a cucumber. I'm "team Glyn" when it comes to the Let it Be mix. Bought the boot years ago on cd. Much looser. I even prefer the cover art. Lots of Get Back snipetts in your vid, how's ya get away with that? lol Keep 'em coming. Subbed.

[@steveconn]

His early cut of the Get Back sessions as an album is great. Found on bootlegs.

[@henryhemming1494]

His rescue of The Clash's failed demos and crafting them into perfect new songs on Combat Rock was an incredible achievement.

[@kurikokaleidoscope]

Yes

[@ScottMasson]

Oh wow! Had no idea he did that record with the clash. I love that record.

[@TheBeatlesWoW]

Perceptive insight as always

[@Homecastlefoundation]

Glyn always had great clothes and he warned them off Allen Klein. Its interesting in Get Back how the Beatles often colour coordinated their clothes

[@MichaelWhelan-p9u]

Glyn meticulously picked the winning takes for the single releases of Get Back, Don’t Let Me Down, Let It Be, The Long and Winding Road, and For You Blue (George later re-recorded his vocal). My favorite takes of I’ve Got a Feeling, Dig a Pony and The Two of Us are from his original Get Back album. I wish the Peter Jackson film had included the live takes of all these songs. Like the original concept of a released live album the Beatles had said they wanted.

[@taketwo-e5u]

There is a lot of full songs missing in Get Back that were in Let It Be. I get the feeling that Peter Jackson wanted to show all the banter for us to see the happy side of what was going on which I also think was his remit from the remaining Beatles.

[@bertrandcarel9511]

Great guy, Georges Martin, as shown around 5'50.

[@Slotnikoff]

In Philadelphia, there was this one record store which had a window full of 'Get Back' bootlegs. I bought the 'Get Back to Toronto' bootleg long before the 'Let It Be' album. The former was definitely more enjoyable to listen to than the latter (except for the John and Yoko malarkey speech at the end!!)

[@jeffreywickens3379]

In all of the Get Back videos, there is this air of the four Beatles not really having their hearts into it and not knowing what to do. I also find these videos hard to watch, because I love The Beatles and miss them and will never understand their breakup

[@Mokkari77]

[@jeffw.england]

I like all the original let it be album. From the get back album Long winding road and the longer dig it. Don't care about naked a what if album.

[@normatible9795]

I rsmember that Glyn John had a hit song in Spain evsn befote the rollng stones covered it. Song is " paint it black"

[@davidbrown217]

Sure looks like arranging to this ol' critter Macca! Every band needs a Glyn Johns,dont matter who they be.❤

[@joewood1997]

Is ‘Let it be (naked)’ the mix that Glyn Johns did? And Get Back was finished by Spector?

[@jawoody9745]

The good stuff that came out of these sessions were the result of Glyn Johns. I can't stand the crap that Phil Spector put on these recordings. It feels embarrassing.

[@FlipDahlenburg]

Having 'Maggie Mae' and 'Dig It' on the album were brilliant ideas of Glyn's. Not!! Thank Christ for Paul's 'Let It Be Naked'!

[@FlipDahlenburg]

Glyn is great, but he's an engineer and assistant to the Beatles, and not a producer, nor a collaborator. He's there to help, and he's doing so. And he's great. But stop lying for the sake of the video.

[@luiscarloszaratelara8022]

What he is doing is producing, making the ideas happen.

[@BassicVIC]

Allan Klein. All incline. Why?

[@OroborusFMA]

Paul could have used someone with producing skills like this when he was butchering "Backseat of My Car" on the Ram album. Such a great song in potential that just is a train wreck on arrival.

[@dailyflash]

Magic Alex was a clown. He was the one who seeded UNFOUNDED concerns about the Maharishi, because he was jealous of John giving the man so much attention.

[@Wildlifeonwheels]

Sad to say, there's a lot of faux-continuity here.

[@DONALDBROWN-q5u]

Without Billy Shears the Beatles sucked...

[@StevePemberton2]

So it's attention that you want is it? I can understand, when everyone else is focusing on a group as talented and successful as The Beatles and you don't have anything constructive to add then it's hard to get people to notice you. So tossing out the equivalent of Flat Earth nonsense is probably the only thing that will work for you. Even better is if you can get people to argue with you because then you will get even more attention. Good luck in your endeavor.
