Patrick Pink - True To You - Unreleased 2nd February 1967

Patrick Pink (or Robbie Duke) with True To You, which is said to have been THE LAST song Joe Meek ever recorded, the night of 2nd February 1967. Patrick pink was Joe Meek's studio assistant, and one of 3 friends who stayed true to him, right up until the end. The 3 friends who were true to Joe were :- Patrick Pink, Dave Adams( Singer and builder of his studio at 304 Holloway Road) and Lionel Howard.

Recorded 51 years ago tonight, and Joe's very last recording .....

Haunting in so many ways.

Greg Ogarrio Thanks Greg

[@johnnyguitar7921]

totally. just hours before The Incident. you can sense the Black Angel's presence in the Track. awesome.

[@cotswoldcuckoo775]

This is covered in the excellent book by Joe Repsch, The Joe Meek Story The Telstar Man, a fantastic read and far far better than the film.

[@Bazzm17]

Robbie was a good FB friend. Sadly missed. But what a great tune.

[@Buzzer365]

Sad to say that Patrick (Robbie) passed away yesterday, 15th May 2018.

[@DiamondJoe304]

Such a sad loss Denis

[@alangilbert1299]

Means a lot, to hear this.

[@winterweib]

I REALLY like that. Lovely voice and a lovely character.

[@Bazzm17]

Have been waiting for this to re-appear as I think this is a great tune by Robbie.

[@robbieduke1279]

Bazzm17 Thank you for liking and your kind comment. cheers Robbie.

Hi Colin, I too have a copy of Robbie Duke on the ATA label (ATA 1010) and on my copy of the release it states that Side A is in fact Sing Sing Barbara and Side B is Hold Me. You can check this as I have uploaded a photo' of the copy on the 45cat web site. Regards, Dean

Thank you for supporting my dad 🥺❤️

[@Chunksville]

Robbie needs to put the record straight with regards to his time with Joe, and write his own biography of the events, lets hope the Joe Meek documentary whenever it comes out does a better job than Telstar the movie did spoke to Robbie on Twitter a nice man

[@robbieduke1279]

Chunksville Thank you for your comment and thank you for liking my Records, I'm looking for a book deal, so any publishers. out there interested?

[@johnnyguitar7921]

im interested in knowing what happened, Robbie. great track. creepy coincidence for his final recording. was there a "plot"? or he just went nuts that day becuase of amphetamine abuse and , low on money? i find that hard to belieave. you are on record saying he was very paraonoid that day, writing notes, what did he write in those notes? i do belive his aprtment was bugged... why was he holding a shotgun in his hand? i mean, something happend with Heinz iv heard.... Awesome track btw, lol. if you want money for telling a lie thats sad, Robbie.

[@furbysoup2755]

Robbie Duke...I love you dad 🥺❤️ rip...

[@anyoutubeaccount]

With regards to the event, he's made it clear in the BBC doco about Meek. It's the most insight we'll probably have now on what really happened (and more accurate than the Telstar film).

[@colinpurssey9875]

That , is not a bad song / recording . And with a bit more studio enrichment would have been even better . I would have bought it , that's for sure .

[@FP51DPO]

it's a must, I think this is one of Meeks best produced tracks, this doesn't sound like a final mic (dump mix), I wonder if a meek marvel could re-master this...

[@robbieduke1279]

FP51DPO Thank you so much for your kind words and for liking my recordinds

[@EMILIABPRINCESS]

Hi FP51dpo. You are correct. There was a single called hold me with a b side. We do have a copy in the family but pretty hard to upload. I have searched hard for it but can't find it on line. I may be able to post it one day.

[@robbieduke1279]

colin hopkin its on KZbin now

[@TheMerseySound1]

Originally sung and released as a B-side by Jason Eddie And The Centremen

[@offbeat65]

I really like this version more. Patrick's delivery just sells the song more convincingly.

[@Buzzer365]

This uses the backing track to the 1966 release of the same name by Jason Eddy which, despite the label stating the writers to be the Centremen, I am assured was in fact Joe Meek.

[@lucyling6227]

The lovely Robbie Duke (AKA Patrick Pink)is on Twitter and does respond to questions! find him under twitter.com/rbbduk

[@robbieduke1279]

lucy ling thank you for liking, yes Josephine is my Daughter named after Joe.

[@ironprefect2501]

jó szám (good song in Hungary)

[@gary0liver]

Sounds great ! Is that a Accoustic research AR7 speaker in picture with Robbie

[@johnnyguitar7921]

i have heard rumorus about Heinz's complicity in the murder, but just chit chat, i mean, the guy (Meek) was a genius so probably he snapped on the day his hero died...

[@LanceHarding]

Heinz was questioned as it was his gun & had his finger prints on it, he used to take it with him to shoot rabbits when he was travelling to gigs, he stormed out after a row with Joe to square him for Royalties & the gun was left there, of course, Heinz was cleared of any involvement to what happened to Violet Shenton & Joe.

[@Johnny2-r1l]

2nd February 1967 just one day before joe meek death😢

[@FP51DPO]

Great song out of the Meek Stable, rumours say that patrick / robbie made more records and indeed a single surfaced according to the web any ideas if it has been posted or if he has a copy, good film but cruel portrayal of Patrick

[@robbieduke1279]

FP51DPO thank you for your kind words, there are lots of my recordings in the famous teachests many one day they will surface. thank you. cheers Robbie.

[@EMILIABPRINCESS]

Great music by my uncle. The film is ok. But not 100percent correct

[@PAULLONDEN]

The voice sounds like that of Joe......

[@LanceHarding]

Joe was tone deaf, why Dave Adams (who built Joe's studio) had to decipher the song's that Joe recorded onto tapes. I was the one that put this video together, on my other youtube account DiamondJoe304

[@EMILIABPRINCESS]

And as of the portrait of the film. A lot was not true About it. Just made up to make the film. He wasn't given millions afterwards. In fact he had nothing at the end. And wasn't charged by the police. His colleague was .

[@Johnny2-r1l]

2:21 is t me or does he look like that main character from disciple me?

[@Efferpheasants]

[@DiamondJoe304]

Just watched the video, which was very good, just a shame it cut the end abruptly off. Thank you for sharing the link to this Great song here.
