Maximum Volume gives a glimpse in to the brain, the music, and the person behind the sound of the Beatles. George Martin’s working-class childhood and musical influences profoundly formed his early profession in the BBC’s Classical Music division and as mind from the EMI Group’s Parlophone Records. Out of them flowed the genius behind his seven years generating the Beatles’ amazing body of work, including such albums as Silicone Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Music group, and Abbey Street.

about Maximum Quantity: THE LIFE SPAN of Beatles Maker George Martin, THE FIRST Years, 1926-1966

The first book of two, Maximum Volume traces Martin’s early years as a scratch pianist, his lifestyle in the Fleet Air Arm during the Second World War, and his groundbreaking work as the top of Parlophone Records, when Martin saved the company from ruin after producing his name like a producer of comedy recordings. In its most dramatic moments, Maximum Quantity narrates the storyplot of Martin’s improbable discovery from the Beatles and his painstaking attempts to prepare their newfangled sound for the English music industry. As the storyplot unfolds, Martin as well as the band craft several number-one strikes, progressing toward the landmark album Rubber Soul-all of which bear Martin’s unmistakable musical signature.
