Eleven people produced all 217 Beatles recordings. George Martin produced all but six of the 217. Two of them are credited on one record only, Giles Martin (on 'Now and Then') and John Lennon (on 'It's All Too Much'). Producers are there from the first sessions to the last, and 1969 has more of them than any other year, eight of the eleven. Martin is the only producer on the catalogue from 1963 to 1967, and in 1968 the list gains Chris Thomas, Paul McCartney and George Harrison. At the other end, Ron Richards is on two, 'Love Me Do' and 'P.S. I Love You'. George Martin accounts for 211 of the 217. The rest arrived later, Paul McCartney in 1967, Ringo Starr in 1967 and Chris Thomas in 1968.
