Fact #166285

When:

Short story:

The Beatles are recording Revolution in EMI's Abbey Road Studios, London, England, UK, Europe.

Full article:

George Martin (producer) : There's a great deal of guitar distortion. That was done deliberately because John wanted a very dirty sound on guitar and he couldn't get it through his amps.

What we did when we made this record was just overload one of the pre-amps on the recording. We got such a kickback on that. People said, 'Do you realise this record is distorted?' We said, 'Yes.' 'How can you let a record go out like that?' Because they wanted it that way.
