George Martin Hated The Beatles' 'One After 909'

George Martin hated The Beatles’ “One After 909” and early John Lennon-Paul McCartney songs. He discussed why he had a positive view of the band in their early days anyways. The Beatles rediscovered “One After 909” sometime after and put the song on a classic album.

Producer George Martin hated The Beatles‘ “One After 909.” John Lennon revealed he wrote it when he was a teenager. Subsequently, The Beatles rediscovered the song when they were putting Let It Be together.

During a 2004 interview with Analog Planet, Martin discussed meeting The Beatles. “When I first met them in ’62, their material was terrible,” he said.

“Their songs were … I mean, ‘One after 909?'” he said. “What the hell was that? It was silly stuff. Not very good, really. But they had this potential, and they had this charisma.”
