A WONDERFUL SERIES OF BEATLES RECORDING REFERENCE BOOKS WRITTEN BY AUTHOR JERRY HAMMACK (edited by Gillian G. Gaar)
Nominated for the 2018 Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC) Awards for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research. Both Volume 1 and Volume 3 have been recognized by the ARSC. The five volumes are part of the permanent collection of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Library and Archives. The reference manuals are updated on a regular basis when new information comes in that impacts the narrative.
This means that readers are getting the most up-to-date understanding of how these songs were created in the studio from first take to final remix. Volume 1 is in its 8th edition, volume 2 is in its 6th edition, Volume 3 is in its 3rd edition, Volume 4 is in its 5th edition, and Volume 5 is in its 3rd edition. This is quite the honor for both the author Jerry Hammack, and the editor, Gillian Gaar!
