Because it makes more sense that the orchestral pieces found on the Beatles albums can be directly credited to the classically trained musician/producer.

It’s a put-on.

A couple other tid bits: Revolution #9 played backwards is where you can hear something that sounds like "Turn me on dead man" repeatedly. Forwards it's "Number nine". On the Abbey Road alblum front cover along with the boys walking across the raod there is a WV bearing the license plate "28IF" supposedly referring that Paul would have 28 years old IF he was alive at the time of the photo. On the reverse cover of Abbey Road there are shadows of leaves from a nearby tree that sort of look like a skull. There's another song (can't recall what alblum or song title) but there is a line that goes something like "You were in a car crash and you lost your hair"
The whole thing IMO is marketing, clever but just marketing.

Nobody in the thread even disputed that claim. Most Beatles fans are aware of George Martin's contributions and the working relationship he had with the band. Martin helped bring ideas to life through his arrangements. That is well understood already.
You're just trying to stir the pot and bait people into non-existent arguments. But you do you. Have fun with that.

If you're going to troll, at least come up with some new material. You're transparent and repetitive.
Get better?

Hey, Martin also worked with Gerry and the Pacemakers, Gary Glitter, and Peter Sellers back in the day. Did he write all their stuff too ?
Or did they write their own, being much better than Lennon-McCartney ?

your claim that without formal training people can't write music. Some people have a knack, no formal training needed.
Just be honest. Your world would end if it were true the Beatles weren't the songwriters you believed they were.

No, the claim was that without formal training, they cant write music that complex and intricate. As usual, you all either can't read, or need to misrepresent the argument in order to participate.
Any as$hole can can write music, as is evidenced by the never ending stream of crap on the top 40 radio stations every day.
But for someone with no musical background to write what people consider to be the most important music of MULTIPLE GENERATIONS.......
Bullsh!t.

Two things give you away ….. your juvenile last paragraph, and the fact that you’re splitting hairs now. Everybody has agreed with you that Martin did a lot of important work on the Beatles music. None of us can know the actual mix, we just have our opinions.
You’ve stated yours 50 times now, we heard you.
Everybody doesn’t agree with you. Quit bitching about it, it’s called “life”.

When you say stuff like this, when you know that's not what I said.
And then how you can deny it the very next post.
There's no way in hell 4 kids with no ability to read or write music came up with that music

George Martin got the same royalties as each member of the Beatles.
Producers do not get royalties.
Composers do.
