J Lennon page 10 by ric gustafson
On June 6 1962, the band brought their equipment into EMI Studio 2. The studio had sight screens and a control room at the end of an endless hallway. The band was going to record four songs picked by Parlophone.
A man named Chris Neal operated the tape machine. As they were taping a song named ' Love Me Do' they were stopped by a tall and dapper man in his thirties.
" I'm George Martin head of Parlophone".
John spoke up. " How do you like this song Mr Martin?".
" I don't". He frowned. " I have a few issues with it".
" Like what?".
" First of all, you should not sing the title line and play the harmonica".
John scratched his chin. " What would you suggest?".
" I suggest that Paul sings the title line".
The band works on the song take after take. Eventually, the band leaves.
George Martin walks up to the control room. He notices Producer Ron Richards. " Well Ron, what do you think?".
" The band needs to change their drummer".
