Kramer was interviewed extensively in Jimi Hendrix: Hear My Train a Comin’, a two-hour American Masters documentary which debuted in November 2013.

He is also a photographer who has exhibited a number of his intimate images of performers, particularly Hendrix, with whom he worked on Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold as Love, Electric Ladyland, Band of Gypsys, and The Cry of Love, as well as the posthumous Valleys of Neptune, People, Hell and Angels, Miami Pop Festival, and other releases produced through Experience Hendrix, the organization formed by Hendrix’s heirs.

In 1964 he founded KPS Studios, a mono- and two-track facility which was acquired in 1965 by Regent Sound, where the Rolling Stones had recorded their first album. Regent then tasked Kramer to help build and run their new four-track studio. The Beatles had recorded “Fixing a Hole” there, later to be featured on their 1967 album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Kramer engineered two Beatles hit singles which appeared on Magical Mystery Tour—”All You Need Is Love” and “Baby You’re a Rich Man“. The two songs were recorded at Olympic Studios, where, in 1967, Kramer engineered albums for the Rolling Stones, Small Faces, Traffic, and Jimi Hendrix. Kramer became a permanent part of Hendrix’s creative process, collaborating on the four albums which Hendrix released before his death in 1970. […]

On May 11, 1967, The Beatles recorded “Baby, You’re A Rich Man” at Olympic Sound Studios. Olympic’s manager, Keith Grant, was the balance engineer for the session, and Eddie Kramer was the first engineer.

On June 14, 1967, The Beatles returned to Olympic Sound Studios, to record the basic track of “All You Need Is Love“, with Eddie Kramer engineering this session as well.

They came in and it was, ‘Well, what are we going to do now?’ John had the idea for ‘All You Need Is Love’ and he sat next to me in the control room. We rigged the talkback mike so that it could be used for vocals, and he sang through that.

They did the song from beginning to end for a good half-hour. They’d get to the end of the song and John would count it off again without stopping, doing it again and again until they got the one that they liked.
