Following the Beatles' break-up in 1970, Emerick continued to work with McCartney.<ref name="Womack/Encyclopedia p 256" /> He served as recording engineer on McCartney albums such as ''[[Band on the Run]]'' (1973), which netted Emerick another Grammy,{{sfn|Womack|2014|p=257}} ''[[London Town (Wings album)|London Town]]'' (1978), ''[[Tug of War (Paul McCartney album)|Tug of War]]'' (1982) and ''[[Flaming Pie]]'' (1997). Emerick later said that he had always been perceived by the other ex-Beatles as "Paul's guy". As a result, for their solo recordings, Lennon and [[George Harrison]] chose to work instead with [[Phil McDonald]], another former EMI engineer.{{sfn|Emerick|Massey|2006|p=318}}

Emerick was the sound engineer on [[Robin Trower]]'s 1974 album ''[[Bridge of Sighs (Robin Trower album)|Bridge of Sighs]]'' and was credited by both Trower and producer [[Matthew Fisher (musician)|Matthew Fisher]] for that album's sound. He also recorded some of the backing tracks for the debut album by [[Stealers Wheel (album)|Stealers Wheel]], but resigned early on in the process, handing over to Apple recording engineer John Mills to continue working with producers [[Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller]]. The Stealers Wheel album featured "[[Stuck in the Middle with You]]" and went on to receive the Dutch [[Edison Award]].

Following the success of EMI's ''[[The Beatles at Abbey Road]]'' presentation in 1983, Emerick prepared an album of the Beatles' studio outtakes, to be titled ''[[Sessions (Beatles album)|Sessions]]'', for release. The former Beatles initiated legal proceedings to prevent EMI from issuing the album, saying that the work was substandard;<ref>{{cite book|last=Doggett|first=Peter|title=You Never Give Me Your Money: The Beatles After the Breakup|publisher=It Books|location=New York, NY|year=2011|isbn=978-0-06-177418-8|pages=284–85}}</ref> when made available on [[Bootleg recording|bootleg]] compilations, his mixes and editing of some of the tracks were widely criticised by collectors.<ref>{{cite book|last=Unterberger|first=Richie|year=2006|title=The Unreleased Beatles: Music & Film|publisher=Backbeat Books|location=San Francisco, CA|isbn=978-0-8793-0892-6|page=210}}</ref> In the mid-1990s, these recordings were used for the ''[[Beatles Anthology]]'' CD releases.

In 2007, Emerick produced a re-recording of ''Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'' in honour of the album's 40th anniversary.<ref name="Womack/Encyclopedia p 256" /> It included performances by contemporary artists such as [[Oasis (band)|Oasis]], [[the Killers]],<ref name="Womack/Encyclopedia p 256" /> [[Travis (band)|Travis]] and [[Razorlight]].
