Fact #53624
When:
Short story:
Gerry And The Pacemakers record How Do You Do It at EMI's Abbey Road Studios, London, England, UK, Europe.
Full article:
Gerry Marsden : It was written for a guy called Adam Faith and, basically, Adam didn't like it. The Beatles didn't like it. The only ones who liked it were (producer) George Martin and myself.
It took about an hour an a half to record. Everything was miked up, so you just went in and hit it. You didn't sort of re-tape or change, or go on to other tapes. It was just straight in and straight out. In those days we made LPs in twenty four hours. That's why they sounded so bad.
Mitch Murray (songwriter) : Gerry was extremely creative with those first two songs of mine (How Do You Do It and I Like It). He added a lot to them. It's rare that a songwriter lets a song go out to an artist and it comes back better than he could ever have imagined it. Usually it's the other way round.
