Outro segmento contará com Martin falando sobre seus anos de gravação grupos pops, com McCartney, Starr e cantora Cilla Black, que faziam parte estável de artistas de Brian Epstein. O grupo vai discutir como era trabalhar nos anos 60 com os mandos de Epstein com os Beatles e Black, além de Billy J. Kramer e as Dakotas e Gerry and the Pacemakers.
A longa carreira de Martin com a EMI, que começou em 1950, tem sido muito diversa. Ele começou a gravar da música clássica e expandiu ao jazz, incluindo o trabalho com Cleo Laine e Stan Getz e também o pop.

No início de sua carreira, Martin assinou quadrinhos de Peter Sellers ao rótulo e trabalhou com ele quando ele estava no The Goon Show, o trio de comediantes que incluiu Sellers, Harry Secombe e Spike Milligan, e também mais tarde com um artista solo. O trabalho solo com Sellers na EMI incluiu uma série de discos com Sophia Loren e alguns covers originais dos Beatles, incluindo uma versão de" She Loves You ", feita no estilo de seu" Dr. Fantástico ". Martin também trabalhou com Beyond the Fringe, que incluía Peter Cook e Dudley Moore, além de Alan Bennett e Jonathan Miller.
