Color him polychromatic. From Rhapsody in Blue to Little Red Monkey, Goldfinger to Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Ebony and Ivory to The White Suit Samba, George Martin never painted himself into a corner. The British producer, best known as the Beatles' studio guru, unveils his staggering range in the six-CD Produced by George Martin: 50 Years in Recording, out this week on Capitol. The numbered limited edition, priced at $99.98, traces his musical meanderings through 153 tracks (a fraction of his output) spanning pop, novelty and kiddie tunes, polka, skiffle, TV themes and a dizzying array of crooners, divas, jazzbos, rockers, folkies and comedians.
