Joe Meek: Work In Progress - The Triumph Session (CD)

(RPM) 29 tracks 1959-1960

COLLECTION OF RARE AND UNISSUED MATERIAL 

Between leaving Lansdowne in November 1959, and setting up the RGM studios at 304 Holloway Road in September 1960,launched the short-lived TRIUMPH RECORDS, with whom I enjoyed my first real successes as an independent producer. All Triumph releases have since become fiercely collectable, and there has been a great deal of conjecture as to what else I recorded for the label. This unique collection brings together a number of outtakes, demo's and previously-unissued tracks which produced during this period. This is essentially a collectors' release, and has been compiled from old acetates, quarter inch masters, cassettes etc. So, if the sound falls a little short of RPM's usual high standards, this is more than compensated for by the unique rarity of the material. As a bonus for all my devotees, this collection is rounded off with a few brief snatches of me at work in the studio composing a couple of my hits.

Joe Meek – Work In Progress: The Triumph Session (CD) presents no myth and no posthumous gloss, but Joe Meek at work. This CD documents a complete, raw studio session from the Triumph Studios, featuring unfinished takes, alternative arrangements and sonic experiments. That is exactly why it matters. Meek was not a producer in the conventional sense but a sound researcher, using tape machines as instruments and echo as a defining stylistic tool, exercising absolute control down to the smallest detail. Work In Progress reveals this approach unfiltered, without later polishing or legend-building. The original Triumph recordings are carefully and historically accurately edited, offering direct insight into Meek’s working methods beyond Telstar. This is not a best-of but a primary source, making it essential for producers, Joe Meek scholars and historians of British pop and studio culture.

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.
