I liked this because I liked hearing something about the Beatles that isn't a rehash or repackaging of the stories I've heard before.
I didn't like the fact that I sometimes found myself struggling to hear the spoken word above the music bed. I'm old and I'm also old school in that I don't like musical lyrics as part of a bed. It got especially challenging when the audio clips were played because there was already a lot of room noise on the tape.
Nice delivery. Informed. Fairly direct. Conversational. Confident but accessible to the listener.
It seems like music could have been used to better serve as examples for the techniques which were being described by the engineers. Maybe expanded to a point where we hear entire or nearly-entire musical tracks. Could perhaps turn this into a 59-minute radio friendly documentary?
I also delighted in the humor. The John Lennon toilet paper story was hilarious and what a surprise!
