Record producer, studio innovator, songwriter, oddball... All seem to hit Joe Meek. In 1962 he dreamed up the instrumental hit Telstar, which for the first time landed a British act at number one on the US Hot 100 Chart. I first heard this reissue compilation album when a friend brought over some records for a day of porch drinking, and vinyl listening. It is a nice cross section of Meek's body of work from the Rock'n'Roll melodrama of John Leyton's Johnny Remember Me to the abstractions of the Blue Men.
