Biography

Ron Furmanek is one of the pioneers of compact disc compilations and re-issues, having produced over 200 CD titles since 1988, most notably Nipper’s Greatest Hits for RCA, The Capitol Collectors Series and the EMI Legendary Masters Series. His Les Paul: The Legend and the Legacy was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Historical Album in 1993. The Frank Sinatra - The Capitol Years box (which went gold) offers one particular selection that not even the staunchest of Sinatra collectors recognized: a 1958 Billy May arrangement called "Here Goes". He is an authority on the Beatles’ recorded and film and video history. His first “official” gig regarding the group dates back to research and consulting work for Capitol's releases Rarities of 1980 and 1982's Reel Music. Since 1987 he has color corrected the visuals and remixed the audio (when applicable) on all of The Beatles promotional films, The Beatles: The First U.S. Visit, The Beatles at Shea Stadium, Let It Be, and Magical Mystery Tour.
