An In-depth exploration of Joe Meek's 1962 Work, culminating in the global hit 'Telstar'. Featuring John Leyton, The Tornados, Mike Berry, The Outlaws, Michael Cox, Geoff Goddard, Ray Dexter, and more. Includes 52 previously unheard recordings - stereo versions, alternate takes and mixes, demos, and previously unreleased songs. In the pre-Beatle era, when British pop was a veritable smorgasbord of genres and musical ideas without a dominant narrative, Joe Meek sampled almost everything on offer. From novelty hits to sound effect laden masterpieces, straight forward pre-beat pop and light instrumentals to cinematic ballads, his work with excellent singers such as John Leyton and Mike Berry, alongside talented writers like Geoff Goddard and Ray Dexter, always carried his signature studio techniques, still years ahead of many major commercial studios. 'From Taboo To Telstar' is the first in a series of chronological sets charting work at Meek's studio year-by-year. Featuring singles and B-sides (many heard in stereo for the first time), alongside alternate versions, demos and tracks recorded but unreleased, this is not only a document of a world about to be hit by a mop-topped tsunami but a window into the incredible creativity enabled by one man and his vision of independence and experimentation. Hear the gestation of 'Telstar', marvel at the majesty of 'Lone Rider' and wonder at the kitchen sink humour of Alan Klein's 'The Cat'. The Moontrekkers, Cliff Bennett, Andy Cavell, Tony Victor, Houston Wells, Peter Jay, Ricky Wayne, Kenny Hollywood... they're all heard here as they've never been heard before, straight off the tapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Charles Blackwell Orchestra - Taboo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Charles Blackwell Orchestra - Midnight in Luxembourg (Alternate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Michael Cox - Young Only Once\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Michael Cox - Stand Up (Alternate Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don Charles - Walk with Me My Angel (Stereo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don Charles - Crazy Man Crazy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don Charles - Moonlight Rendezvous (Alternate Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don Charles - It's My Way of Loving You (Stereo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mike Berry - It's Just a Matter of Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mike Berry - Every Little Kiss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mike Berry - Don't You Think It's Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mike Berry - Loneliness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e John Leyton - Lone Rider (Stereo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e John Leyton - Lonely City (Vocal Take 9)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e John Leyton - It Would Be Easy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e John Leyton - Down the River Nile (Alternate Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Outlaws - Last Stage West\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Outlaws - Ku-Pow!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Outlaws - Sioux Serenade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Stonehenge Men - Big Feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Stonehenge Men - Pinto (Stereo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Tornados - Love and Fury (Guitar Take 4)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Tornados - Telstar (Alternate Edit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Tornados - Globetrotter (Original Speed\/Extended)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Tornados - Popeye Twist (Original Speed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cliff Bennett ;
