RadioCPRA shorter show this week following a week’s absence is a full salute to producer George Martin, who added so much to the recordings of the Beatles, but began his career recording all kinds of things including Peter Sellers and Spike Milligan, better known at the Goon Show.

Martin also was producer of Billy J. Kramer & the Dakotas in the early 60s and used many of his same techniques (as well as his favorite songwriters, Lennon-McCartney). Later, he also produced tracks by Elton John and Paul McCartney in his solo career. Having done “Goldfinger,” he also produced a Bond theme for Paul McCartney and Wings, “Live and Let Die.”
