  1. Yes, indeed. Martin forced Smith’s hand, however, when he wanted to be a producer, so after “Rubber Soul” was finished Norman turned the engineering controls over to Geoff Emerick.

  2. GEEZ! Wouldn’t you like to have been a fly on the wall during one of these sessions? Here are two guys, just doing their job, but I mean, REALLY! Talk about history in the making.
