The Beatles' Producer George Martin Revealed His Biggest Regret Before He Died

After Decca Records turned The Beatles down for a recording contract, the band auditioned for one of EMI’s finest producers, George Martin, then known for making comedy records. After a rough audition, Martin recognized their spark.

Since then, many have called Martin the fifth Beatle. However, before he died in 2016, Martin revealed he had a huge regret when it came to The Beatles.

According to Yahoo!, Martin revealed his biggest regret in life before he died. He made a huge mistake signing away the rights to any royalties of songs by The Beatles.

“My only regret with the Beatles is that I was wrongly advised and signed away my royalties to their records — about half a penny per title but, with them, that would have been an enormous amount,” Martin said in a 2007 interview with Mark Ellen which appeared in The Times.
