Unique among the 1960s pop landscape, and facilitated by his own home studio set-up, Joe Meek pursued and expressed a passion for his countless hobbies through his hit records and studio productions. From the legendary ‘I Hear A New World’ sonic landscapes and the Tornados’ global hit ‘Telstar!’ to several successful horror-themed records with Screaming Lord Sutch and his smash hit laments to both Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran, Meek’s fascinations were never far from his thoughts, often resulting in wildly imaginative and way ahead of their time recordings.

Laden with sound effects, experimental electronics, eccentric lyrics and themes that often stretched the boundaries of what pop music could be in the early 1960s, ‘A CURIOUS MIND’ showcases both Meek’s imagination and his mastery of the recording studio. A selection of themed demos shine light on hit songs that might’ve been, while sound effects and experimental electronic production sessions set him many years ahead of his contemporaries and rivals. The familiar hits are here, alongside lesser-known gems and material never before heard in stereo.

Of particular interest is a disc of newly discovered ‘I Hear A New World’ versions and outtakes, including an early compilation/demo of the album that still sounds futuristic 65 years after it was recorded. A must hear for fans of that album, presented for the first time in pristine sonic quality, having previously only been heard as distorted vinyl dubs.

Joe Meek

Meek kam aus Gloucester und machte seinen National Service in der RAF als Radiotechniker in den frühen fünfziger Jahren.1953 kam er heraus und arbeitete als Ingenieur im IBC-Studio, damals eines von nur zwei unabhängigen Studios in London.Dort hat er Rekorde von Frankie Vaughan (`Green Door '), Denis Lotis, Lita Roza, Shirley Bassey, Anne Shelton, Harry Secombe und Petula Clark entworfen.Im Jahr 1956 arbeitete Meek für Denis Preston in Lans-downe Studios, wo er Ingenieur bei mehreren Lonnie Donegan's frühen Hits war, darunter "Cumberland Gap" und "Do not You Rock Me Daddy-O" sowie Trad JazzAufzeichnungen von Humphrey Lyttelton und Chris Barber.Er begann auch im Songwriting zu taumeln und 1958 schrieb Tommy Steele's Tut A Ring On Her Finger '.Als er Lansdowne 1960 verließ, baute Meek sein eigenes Studio in einer Wohnung oberhalb eines Geschäftes in Holloway, North London und baute es mit £ 3.000 im Wert von Second-Hand-Ausrüstung.

Er nannte es RGM Sound und gleichzeitig aktiviert sein eigenes Label, Triumph, gegen alle Chancen zu einer Zeit, wenn britischen Pop wurde von den drei großen Labels monopolisiert.Eine Coverversion eines amerikanischen Hit, "Angela Jones" von Michael Cox, erreichte die Top Ten im Juni 1960, aber keiner von Triumphs anderen Releases war erfolgreich und Meek setzte das Label zugunsten von Tape-Lease-Deals mit den Majors ein.Er trat im darauffolgenden Jahr mit John Leytons unheimlichem, futuristischem "Johnny Remember Me" und "Wild Wind", Mike Berrys ergreifendem "Tribute to Buddy Holly" und einigen kleineren Hits der Outlaws (mit Richie Blackmore), die viele von Meeks Künstlern unterstütztenAufzeichnung.1962 veröffentlichte eine Kombination von Meeks Session-Musikern ein Instrumental, das er mit dem Titel "Te! Star" unter dem Namen der Tornados schrieb, der seinen größten Verkaufstreffer erwies und in Großbritannien und Amerika die Nr. 1 erreichte.

In der Produktion bleibt es noch weit vor den zeitgenössischen Rekorden.Die Tor-Nados folgten mit einigen etwas weniger erfolgreichen Aufzeichnungen, darunter "Robot", "Globetrotter" und "Eiscreme-Mann", die in der darauffolgenden Merseybeat-Wahnsinn überschwemmt wurden.Trotzdem erzielte Meek Anfang 1963 mit Mike Berrys "Do not You Think It's Time" und 1964 mit dem Honeycombs "Have I The Right", fand aber in der Mitte der Sechziger die harte Arbeit.Er hatte keine Hits im Jahr 1966 und konfrontiert mit zunehmender Angst durch persönliche Probleme, blies sein Gehirn mit einer Schrotflinte am 3. Februar 1967.
