Talking with George Martin 1994 about his seminal role as the Beatles' producer

<p>This is part of an Irish Times interview I did with George Martin in 1994 when the Beatles "red" and "blue" albums were released on CD. When I was a teenager my dad heard Elanor Rigby and said "the genius behind that song is George Martin." The idea fascinated me. More than a quarter-century later, I got great delight sitting down with George Martin in Air Studio - also present was his son Giles who you will hear at the end of this podcast - and asking him about how important he felt his role was as the Beatles' producer, and if he felt he received due credit. I hope what comes across in this podcast is part of that sense of delight. </p>
