Martin, George & His Orchestra
$27.98
George Martin & His Orchestra / AND I LOVE HER... And I Love Her is widely regarded as one of Martin's best instrumental projects. Featuring his signature "Studio 2 Stereo" sound, which brought a lush, easy-listening sophistication to several popular hits of the mid-60s. Unlike the other two reissues this album is Martin's orchestral interpretations not of only The Beatles but artists including Petula Clark's "Downtown", The Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin "Feeling" as well as self-written tracks such as "All Quiet On The Mersey Front," a track Martin wrote for the Ferry Cross The Mersey soundtrack. The record came at a time when orchestral music had begun to embrace the sound of beat music - something it had initially dismissed as a 'noisy' genre, dismissing it's integrity entirely. As Beatlemania grabbed hold of the world in the early 60s, and with respected 'high-brow' newspapers such as The Times of London giving serious analysis of Lennon and McCartney's song writing, attitudes began to shift. Overseen by Sir George Martin's son Giles, Off The Beatle Track has been faithfully remastered from the original master tapes, replicating the original release. It is available on vinyl for the first time in decades, on CD in the U. K. for the first time ever, and globally available on streaming platforms for the first time. Legendary Beatles producer George Martin presents orchestral interpretations associated with the Lennon-McCartney songbook, transforming familiar melodies through his sophisticated arranging style.
