166. The 5th Beatle Sir George Martin - A tribute with Davey Lane and Brett Wolfie

What made Sir George Martin the Fifth Beatle? As a tribute to the late, legendary record producer, I sit down with Davey Lane (You Am I) and drummer Brett Wolfie to talk about Martin's contributions to the greatest pop records ever made. We delve into:

- The tough decision he forced them to make that changed the band forever
- How Martin's arranging skills made Can't Buy Me Love a hit
- Sir George's contribution as a musician on tracks like A Hard Day's Night, Long Tall Sally and In My Life
- How his background in making comedy records with Peter Sellers helped him make 'Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite'
- Why he walked out during the White Album sessions
- The production advice George Martin once gave me
- The George Martin tribue show Davey and Brett played together earlier this year
- The unusual covers of Beatles songs Martin produced later on in his career
- The time that John Lennon asked George to do the impossible, and how he did it
and more...
