George Martin documentary coming to DVD & Blu-Ray

Produced by George Martin, a feature length documentary on the musical genius who crafted the sound of the Beatles and other English acts along with the music of America, will be released on September 11 on DVD and Blu-Ray via Eagle Rock Entertainment.

The documentary is a feature-length profile of Britain's most celebrated record producer. In this very personal film, Sir George talks about his childhood, his war experience and his early days as a music student. Originally broadcast to great acclaim in 2011 as part of the BBC's Arena series, this version contains over 50 minutes of additional interviews not included in the TV broadcast version. These extras include contributions from Rick Rubin, T-Bone Burnett, Howard Goodall, Jimmy Webb and Ken Scott.

Truly, George Martin has had a career like no other. In the early '50s, he joined EMI/Parlophone and started working on orchestral music, music for children and single handedly pioneered a range of hugely successful comedy records with Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, Peter Ustinov and others. Then, in 1962, he signed The Beatles and everything changed. Together, George Martin and The Beatles revolutionized pop music and recording techniques, forging probably the greatest producer/artist collaboration there will ever be.

Produced By George Martin features numerous classic clips of the artists he has produced, and new interviews with many of them including SirPaul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Michael Palin, Jeff Beckm Rolf Harris, Cilla Black, Millicent Martin and Bernard Cribbin.
