An anthology of George Martin's sound productions before the advent of the Beatles; before the collaboration that would change popular music forever. He re-defined the role of producer; pioneering the recording itself as an art form. This edition is testament to a elegant, fearless musical innovator. The surrealistic, sometimes free-form recordings he created with comic geniuses Sellers, Milligan, Cribbins and Ustinov involved sound effects and collage. These madcap sonic adventures, allied to his understanding of the workings of an orchestra, his contacts within the classical fraternity, his love of the romantic and impressionist composers, and his fascination with studio experimentation made George Martin uniquely able to provide a particular objectivity and realise what the ever-curious Beatles, or any artist, would ask of him. As head of Parlophone, determined to explode the label onto the scene, he sought artists of character; taking mobile recording units out to capture Flanders And Swann's two-man show and the irreverent satirical revue, Beyond The Fringe. The Top Five was breached in 1960 both by Matt Monro and by Peter Sellers And Sophia Loren. George Martin's first UK Number One single, and an exemplar, was 'You're Driving Me Crazy' by The Temperance Seven who combined a revival of popular music from the 20s with styles from the Edwardian era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAntonín Dvorák: Serenade for Winds in D Minor Op. 44 - Moderato Quasi Marcia (London Baroque Ensemble \/ Karl Haas)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Frank Chacksfield's Tunesmiths - Little Red Monkey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Kenneth McKellar - Corn Rigs Are Bonnie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Kirchin Band - Bandbox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e CLÉÖ Laine with the Johnny Dankworth Seven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Honeysuckle Rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sidney Torch and His Orchestra - Bicycle Belles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dick James - Robin Hood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Eve Boswell - Became Mucho\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bert Weedon - Theme from Itv's 64000 Question\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Vipers Skiffle Group - Don't You Rock Me Daddy-O\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ron Goodwin ; His Concert Orchestra - Skiffling Strings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jim Dale - Don't Let Go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ron Goodwin and His Orchestra - Mercury Gets the Message\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jack Parnell ; His Orchestra - Trip to Mars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Humphrey Lyttelton ; His Band - Saturday Jump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Humphrey Lyttelton ; His Band - the House That Humph Built\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Christopher Logue - Lithe Girl Brown Girl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ron Goodwin and His Concert Orchestra - Girl from Corsica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Nadia Cattouse - Long Time Boy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Johnny Dankworth ;.
