“The 101 Strings Orchestra The Beatles Songbook was produced by D.L. Miller, whose name appears on the back of the millions of 101 Strings albums that flooded the American market. More than anyone else, he was responsible for the creation of budget records and the flood of cheaply packaged and pressed albums that poured forth from labels such as Wyncote, Design, Pickwick, Golden Award, Custom, Crown, and others. In fact, you could say that Miller is responsible for more of the records cluttering up thrift stores, charity shops, and flea markets than any other single person.

Miller saved money on his recordings by using the cheapest musicians available. Rather than deal with union-scale players in the U.S., he quickly figured out that armies of hungry classically-trained musicians were just a transatlantic flight away. So it is that the orchestra proudly displayed on the cover of the very first 101 Strings album is the Orchester des Nordwestdeutschen Rundfunks Hamburg, or the NDRO for short, sitting in the Hamburger Musikhalle. Miller and Wilhelm Stephan, the NDRO's conductor, would collaborate on hundreds of albums.”
