We’ve talked before about the circumstances surrounding the signing of The Beatles. But what is even more important is how their relationship with George Martin blossomed. Martin cared little about The Beatles and didn’t care that much for their music. He was happy to pass on the responsibility of recording our boys to his assistant, Ron Richards. But something else happened.

In this episode of The Beatles60 podcast we’re talking about how Martin was won over by the charisma of The Beatles. Also, how he came to see that the fact that they wrote their own songs, something that was almost unheard of at the time, would work hand in hand with his own desire to experiment with music. And finally, the serendipity of a situation that would bring together this particular pop group and this particular producer to create the story that we still talk about sixty years later.
