Short answers, pulled from the story.
Geoff Emerick engineered three Beatles albums: Revolver (1966), Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), and Abbey Road (1969). He also began work on The Beatles (the White Album) but walked out on the 16th of July 1968 before it was completed.
Geoff Emerick won four Grammy Awards. He received Grammys for engineering Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Abbey Road, a third for Band on the Run (1973), and a Special Merit/Technical Grammy Award in 2003.
Emerick walked out on the 16th of July 1968 after Paul McCartney unleashed a profanity-filled tirade during three frustrating days of trying to record "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da". He also objected to the promotion of Chris Thomas, George Martin's inexperienced assistant, to the producer's role in Martin's absence.
The 2006 memoir, co-authored with Howard Massey, drew criticism for factual errors, an allegedly unfavourable portrayal of George Harrison, a bias toward Paul McCartney, and dismissive treatment of Harrison and Ringo Starr's contributions. Former EMI engineer Ken Scott publicly challenged the book's accuracy and noted that Emerick had admitted limited memory of events before writing it.
For the Revolver recording of "Tomorrow Never Knows" in 1966, Emerick routed John Lennon's vocal signal through a rotating Leslie speaker, a cabinet normally used to amplify a Hammond organ. This produced the ethereal, detached sound Lennon was seeking.
Geoff Emerick died from a heart attack on the 2nd of October 2018 in Los Angeles, California, aged 72. His manager William Zabaleta was on the phone with him when he suffered complications and dropped the call; emergency services arrived too late.
