How special are the Beatles that we're still talking about them in 2023❤️

Have not talked to my daughter in years. Just one of those things that happens after divorce. I sent 'Now and Then' to her on her birthday this week. Actually heard back from her. Thanks Beatles.

A true gentleman like his father.

Just like 50 years ago… another Beatles #1 single!!! That’s such a lovely feeling!!!!

Giles Martin is really doing a wonderful job taking care of the Beatles recordings. I do always enjoy him being interviewed. Great man.

No-one better than Giles to fill the role he's in. Intelligent, capable, talented man, as was his father. Respect and admiration.

I'm fascinated by Giles Martin's hair standing on end independently of all the others 🙂

Giles is almost like family to the Beatles, he would definitely make his father proud.

giles has grown a antenna. thanks giles for everything

George would be proud of how his son has carried on the legacy

What a brilliant man, how fantastic is Giles Martin, excellent interview and all whilst The Beatles have a number one single. I might just spontaneously combust.

Ian Leslie wrote this in a NYTimes essay on Nov 5: Carl Perkins, the rockabilly guitarist and singer, and a hero to the Beatles, collaborated with Mr. McCartney in the wake of Mr. Lennon’s death. One day, he played Mr. McCartney a song he had written for him with the line, “My old friend, won’t you think about me every now and then?” At this, Mr. McCartney teared up and left the room, leaving Linda to reassure a startled Mr. Perkins. “She said [those were] the last words that John Lennon said to Paul in the hallway of the Dakota building,” he told Goldmine magazine toward the end of his life. Mr. Lennon “patted him on the shoulder, and said, ‘Think about me every now and then, old friend.’”

My brother met Giles father in his own home and said he was a gentleman and so kind. This song is great and the final cherry on the Beatles cake. ❤️.x

Giles is a legend. He’s a genius like his father. Great way to keep a legacy going. Cheers. Extra: really the missed opportunity in the video was George standing over Giles. I still think they should have done that.

This is fantastic Giles , your father was a genius and integral to the incredible Beatles songs. Well done Peter Jackson for the emotional video.

Each time I listen to the song, it gets even more beautiful. You notice every little bit of the brilliance and care that has gone into making this perfect masterpiece. It could not have been made any better. Thank you Giles and Paul and Ringo and everyone that was involved with making this gift for mankind.

When I think “ English Gentleman “, this is what comes to mind!

Giles, Im 71 and a lifelong Beatles fan. I love your remixes. Being in America, I am mostly familar with the stereo mixes, but to be honest, those weren't done very well back in the day. Your remixes are brilliant by balancing out the soundscape and bringing out things that are buried in the mix. Love Me Do on the flip side of Now And Then has never sounded so good. I hope before I die, I get to hear all the Beatles music redone by you. Thank you for making this old man happy.

Many people may not realize the remarkable work that Giles Martin is doing. He has breathed new life into 'The Beatles' catalog, and it's nothing short of astounding! The new mixes he has crafted sound as fresh as ever while preserving the original essence of the recordings. This speaks volumes about his exceptional talent. As someone deeply entrenched in the music industry, I can attest to the immense challenge that this task poses. What sets Giles apart is the genuine love and care he has poured into this endeavor. He has meticulously attended to various facets, such as the welcome absence of excessive compression, which has sadly become the norm in the digital age. It's truly heartwarming to witness Giles openly sharing his insights in this video. Thank you, Giles! Your dedication and passion are immensely appreciated by all of us.

' Paul is just a lovely man ' - so very British. Great interview! Giles is tops.

Kudos to Giles. His mother just passed and he’s still on the circuit talking up the new Beatles offering.

I think it´s part of closing a magic circle. George Martin produced all the Beatles records. Now, so many years have passed since then and this tape shows up and Giles takes the responsibility of working in some way with the four of them again as his father did then. I´m absolutely sure Sir George Martin would be mesmerized by this new track and also extremely proud of the work done by this son. It all stayed in the family as it should.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1075">17:55</a> I'm glad he mentioned Penn, because this is the kind of Beatles nut Penn is. On his podcast, he mentioned being friendly with Giles and having his contact info, and after watching Get Back, he was so enraptured by how much toast the band was eating at the sessions, and how delicious the footage made it look, he wondered what kind of toaster they used. So he emailed Giles Martin to see if he had record of the kind of toaster The Beatles used at Abbey Road to make their toast. Turns out, that information exists and was accessible, so Penn Jillette now owns a toaster of the same model as The Beatles for that singular reason. Imagine that, knowing the son of the man who orchestrated "Strawberry Fields Forever," and the most burning question you have on your mind is, "Can you find me a model number for the toaster John, Paul, George, and Ringo used?"

Absolutely beautiful song ,well done Giles, your dad was a genius, ❤

I am so glad that he did the strings. It just about has all the originals (and son) doing what they did and what they do.

I love Giles so much, he’s such a humble guy and is making such incredible mixes for not just the Beatles, but many other artists. He did a stellar job on Now and Then

They need to remix Free as a Bird with the AI for John’s voice!

He'll never fill his father's shoes, but he's certainly getting close another genius in the martin family

Like father like son ! Talented on his own & it shows, thank you 🙏 ❤

What a nice gentleman. Maybe there are some critics about these mixes as usually are out there but I believe he did a great job and was absolutely the right person to take care of this material. Who else if not he should have done it? Nobody else but him. His father probably would have been proud of him risking and mastering that task.

Very good interview with Giles. Not many people on this earth can say, "yeah Paul phoned me up the other day"

Thank you Giles! Now, please use the technology on the Star Club tapes. Everyone could then here The Beatles "punk" phase.

What an amazing guy Giles is. I’m 60 (today)! Sitting on holiday in Egypt. I loved the ‘Love’ album and have followed Giles’ work from then on. What a glorious gauntlet to have bestowed on him by both his Father and the ‘Boys.’ This interview by Chris (who like me is a Beatles geek) was respectful, fanatical, informative and obviously put Giles at ease to come forth with all that was what we really enjoyed hearing. Bloody hell…. The Beatles…..what a Band….what a journey……what and amazing influence on the world. Name me another……….. you won’t be able to.

Transends space and time... I mean it is just incredible... Just how??? It is just one strand of hair standing up perfectly straight!

What a brilliant interview ❤

I remembered Paul (in the 70s) once rang up John, they had a really great chat, talking about this, talking about that. As they ended their call John said to Paul; think of me *Now and Then.*

Wow I loved this!!! I had never heard of this show before . Giles is always great to listen to . As a musician myself , I’d love to work with him . Time is not on my side though. One can dream . The Beatles are the Greatest Musically Group in all of History.

Fab! and Fabber! thought Alice! What a nice interview! Love the whole, beautiful thing.......what magic, then and NOW!

Just excellent. No other words needed. Oh and Now & Then is just amazingly beautiful...........

Lovely man, just like his father! Great interview!!!

Amazing. I'm a caretaker so I can't leave the house for more than 3 hours. No time to get to Antwerp(en) to drink a coffee, let stand getting to Abbey Road. Thanks to let the Beatles story go on. I was right when I became a Beatles fan at the middle of the seventies, when people told me "they were dead". They'll never die.

A real conversation with meaningful insights! Thanks Chris, for milking Giles for all he's worth - and that's a lot!

Giles Job is not easy nor trivial, he has treated the original Beatles track with a lot of respect, using the new technologies wisely. (in less capable hands this endeavour could be a real tragedy).

Glad to know that a Martin is behind this piece. The addition of the strings would have been George Martin's idea. Truly great producers are hard to find.

Excellent get! Giles Martin's observations were enlightening! 👍💯

This is the first I'm hearing of a NOW AND THEN album...

The power of KZfaq - I can watch this interview in the states. Thanks and looking forward to the next Giles interview and more on the Red & Blue album drop on Friday.

On the early songs I like the mixes just the way they were. that is part of the charm of it all. maybe technically the songs will sound better on the new blue and red album remixes. because you will hear Ringo's bass drum more. but that doesn't necessarily mean it makes it a better recording. because it's no longer the original mix that everyone first heard when the songs came out. its like painting the Crome bumper on a 1960's car to make it look more modern. but then it's not the same classic 1960's car. but I don't think the same way about what they did with Now and Then. the song and video together are really a piece of art. and I love it. its like the perfect last song. like as if John Lennon wrote it with the intention of it coming out in 2023. to give tribute to his old band mates and for band to give the love back. and one last chance for the fans to appreciate what the Beatles have given them for the last 60 years. the video along with the song is just magical. and makes me in tears every time I see it. I think the song along with the video has taken on a meaning way beyond what the song would've had if it came out when it was originally written in 1977. that is why I say in some strange way it's as if Lennon wrote it to be the last song and come out in 2023 without even realizing it at the time. and that's part of what's magical about the song and video.

An old band director i knew in New Orleans got dementia--wandering out the house, didn't know where he was--but i'd go over and play Beatles tunes on his piano and he'd whip out his trombone, and he nailed every lick and melody, even words sometimes. Music isn't like 'stored facts' in our memory--it's a living entity, an integrative experience that our bodies actively, physically participate in, and that part of us really does stay young no matter what else happens to our bodies. When i first heard "Now And Then" I instantly heard "Grow Old With Me" in the construction, and it almost sounds like John could've recorded them on the same tape, the noise elements and decays sound similar. You wonder what interesting concepts John might've come up with as technology exploded like this...

I thank Giles for caring about this and bringing that love. I'm Gen X like him and my dad looked suave AF in 1969 too. I adore that his daughter got to discover her grandfather young.. I'm guessing Giles was in Utero at that time. HA. Let's keep that generation's great work refreshed and going as long as we can.

Love the show, Chris. And please keep remastering those Beatles albums Giles!

"Every member of this band is really good" That is a understatement....... I look at these guy's with Amazement!!! I am Astonished by what these 4 Lads Accomplished in their lifetime. The Beatles were without a doubt the 8th Wonder of the world..............................

Thank you Giles 👏

Great interview. Met Giles in 1999 in Alexandria, Va! 😊

Listening to my daughter's pop music when she was younger, my comment was often "this was writen by someone who grew up listening to their grandparent's Beatles records"

It's a single, not an album.... that aside, they need to remix Free as a Bird with the AI for John’s voice, it really needs it!

Holy cow! I had that Love album growing up and LOVED it!

Fantastic guy

Like father like son.🙌

What a lovely guy Giles Martin is. How proud would his dad be to hear him talk about macca and ringo back together on a Beatles track.

Great respectful warm interview. Got me thinking about Beatles songs overlooked. Often thought YES IT IS is a forgotten classic which was a B Side to Ticket To Ride 65. Now imagine it with only strings and lifted Because harmonies, it would be majestic in Giles hands. Let’s not kid ourselves that this is not Hello Goodbye from The Beatles, more like Goodbye Hello. With so much more possible now. Love albums 2,3,4? An album of Beatles B Sides, Beatles mash up singles…Imagine😎👌

That is an interesting point. How many other groups have broken up and ALL the members had successful solo careers? This final version is credited to all 4 members. The last time we saw that was the innocuous 'Flying' from Magical Mystery Tour.

Wonderful!

Imagine going into the vaults and listening to all the outtakes that were never releases along with the conversations during the takes. whewww.

Great job on all the projects he's done, thank you Giles.

Great and informative interview. Thanks for doing!

He sounds a lot like his father. Really incredible. My favorite moment of ‘Get Back’ is the beginning of Part 3, with GM coming in with this commanding presence (which the director *never* managed) to explain why their studio was a mess. Starts telling people to move mics various places and just cleans house in this loving, paternal way. It’s why they wanted him for their last LP.

Giles Martin: The Third Beatle (currently) Haha. Much appreciation for the work of Giles Martin! 🙏

Wow - what an excellent interview

Lovely man. Fantastic interview. Great song.

It was crazy to hear Giles talk about his dad being younger than him when he was working with the Beatles at their height of it all! Even i forget that the Beatles werent even 30yrs old when they broke up!

The Fabs are endlessly fascinating.

Amazing interview

He looks so like his father.

always a pleasure to hear from the Martin"s & Chris has always been the best DJ of his generation

Very nice interview. ✨

Thank you Giles for keeping the legacy alive❤

Love this interview, Giles seems like a top guy

John's last time talking to Paul before he died was "think of me now and then old friend" so this song is perfect as their swan song.

Awesome, brings a tear to my eye

Thanks Giles, I agree your Dad would be so happy at this.

Giles also did a fantastic job remastering goat's head soup from the rolling Stones👍🏼 I'm hoping with a little bit of luck since pop worked with them perhaps Gerry and Dewey will let him get his hands on some of the America releases. There's a couple of those seventies albums that could use a fantastic remaster

Last year's Revolver was mixed extremely well... Love the stereo... The Song, Now and Then, strong point preserving Beatle performances. Weak point, the song was not worked until the end prior to this release, so the early performances (George) are works in progress, at least that is what I hear

'Love' is a GREAT MIX! Good Job!

His hair is standing straight up! Darn electrons!

Thank you Giles

Thank you!

Giles Martin made me laugh when he said he was turning into his dad! In my opinion he shouldn't try and shy away from it, but embrace it. George Martin was an incredible man. His patience and wisdom for the artists he produced, not only just The Beatles and to carry on his legacy is something he should be extremely proud of. The British music industry is in safe hands with him at the helm.

Masterful job done on NOW AND THEN. A masterpiece.

Top man. Giles is doing a great job.

The Beatles wrote songs that don't wear out.

Wonderful guy. Chip off the old block. I’d like to think that the stray vertical hair is for extra sensitivity to sound waves. Injecting the music directly into his brain 😅

Hey, Giles! Great work! Now, it is finally time to re-mix "She Loves You" ("She Loved You" 😉) into a stereo mix!

Mark it fab. Thank you.

My first car had a hole in the floorboard, an 8 track player (this was the mid 90s), and 300,000 miles on it. I owned one single 8 track--the Beatles blue album. So I popped it in and cranked up the radio, only to discover that the right speaker was blown, so all i could hear were the drums and bass to Lady Madonna--when Paul's voice should've entered, it was silent, like a karaoke track.And his voice is so 'arresting' on that first vocal entrance that its absence was eerily deafening, like a Beatles Twilight Zone recording. Y'all could've just borrowed my Chevette 30 years ago if you were just looking to remove the excess clutter from a track! :)

When he said "Ringo & Paul & Olivia & Dhani & Yoko & Sean and that's it." I automatically wondered what Julian is doing. Would've been cool if he was included also.

Giles Martin is another great gentleman, just like his dad.

Giles is one of the best that george martin has ever produced.
