Ken Scott names his favourite songs by each of The Beatles
Ken Scott rose to prominence in the 1960s as a sound engineer and record producer in Abbey Road Studios in London. He grew up with a keen interest in the burgeoning rock ‘n’ roll scene in 1950s America championed by the likes of Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry. Scott became interested in the recording and engineering side of music aged just 12 after receiving a tape recorder which he used to record material from the BBC Light Programme Pick of the Pops.
Scott’s career aspirations were made concrete when he watched an episode of Here Come the Girls, a television programme hosted by Alan Freeman about British female pop artists in recording studios. During the episode, he saw Carol Deene singing in Studio Two at Abbey Road Studios, where Malcolm Addey was behind the recording console.
In 1964, he sent several letters around various studios in London with hopes to be taken on as a recording engineer. To his great fortune, Abbey Road Studios responded and offered him an interview which he passed to become part of the engineering crew aged just 16.
