Thanks again to the lovely folks from the EMI Archive Trust for sharing another great piece. They recently met up with the legend Brian Kehew (Co-Author of the Recording the Beatles book) for their Memories of EMI Campaign.

If you are interested in taking part in this campaign you can contact the EMI Archive Trust: info@emiarchivetrust.org.
