- As recording engineer on The Beatles' classic "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" (1967), he estimates that the entire album took 700 hours to complete over a period of 129 days. First track to be recorded was "When I'm Sixty-Four" (December 6, 1966 at Abbey Road studio two).
- At age 15, he started his career at EMI Studios (later renamed Abbey Road) the same week the Beatles began working there.
- He is best known for his work with the Beatles, but he also worked with Elvis Costello (Imperial Bedroom); Paul McCartney and Wings (Band on the Run, Flaming Pie); the Zombies (Odessey and Oracle); and Stealers Wheel (Stuck in the Middle With You), among others.
- In the book "Here, There and Everywhere", about his time working with the Beatles, Emerick revealed that while recording "Hey Jude", Paul made a mistake and uttered "F---ing hell", which made it into the recording. The brief profanity occurs at approximately the three-minute mark.
