Abbey RoadBehind the Fab Four
The Fab Four created a musical revolution, but they didn't do it on their own. Today on Soundcheck, meet Geoff Emerick, the recording engineer who worked alongside The Beatles as they went from amateur teen heart throbs to an international music sensation. Emerick was responsible for pushing the limits of recording technology on Revolver, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band, Abbey Road and much more. Also, a live performance by the musician and inventor Bradford Reed. He's created a one-of-a-kind percussion instrument called the penicillina. He'll perform live in the studio.
