Joe Meek | The Freakbeat Singles (1964-67) [Mini-documentary]

[@matthewvinyl]

I absolutely adore Joe Meek’s recordings, since March 2023 I’ve been collecting singles, EP’s and LP’s produced by Joe. I hope his music will continue to be listened to in the future!

[@familydogg1234]

I am honored to be one of the early viewers here! Posted 46 minutes ago. I too admire Joe Meeks style in the studio. Sadly, he was gone London before his time . Regarding Blue Rondos Baby I Go For You- the band recorded it then Page came in later to record his part unknown to the band. There are many great singles Meek produced/wrote and alot of soon to be famous musicians playing on them. " Telstar" is still ahead if it's time . I like the film- but that's me... Thanx YP!

[@SBAYLISS]

Hi there was rumour bolan and Bowie visited meek very early in their careers on more than one occasion I wonder if any of the recordings got to a disc .

[@paulgoldstein2569]

I too admire a lot of the early sixties Joe Meek productions, but not all. But I think, although some may think different, that he was best represented on all those early John Leyton recordings. Wild Wind is in my mind an absolute classic.

[@johnnymoth]

@@paulgoldstein2569I agree with you. The album he made with John Leyton is a masterpiece

[@paulgoldstein2569]

Many years ago when I visited London, I took the 'Rock and Roll Tour' on a small bus with other tourists. And yes, we stopped right in front of his apartment while the tour guide played 'Telstar' over the small PA system and recited a short bio of Joe Meek. Gone, but not forgotten thanks to YP~!...Well Done~!

[@ShannonLee1956]

Joe Meek was fascinating, innovative and terribly underrated al least here in the U.S., not many people here know about him. I'm thinking this style of music freakbeat is similar to what we call garage rock. This is one of my favorite styles of music!

[@YesterdaysPapers]

Yep. It's kind of the bridge between music from the mid-60s and psychedelia.

[@jasonkillbourn]

@@YesterdaysPapers I've always thought that Gene Vincent's Bird Dogging made the leap from rock and roll to garage rock, and I believe he toured the UK with the Tornadoes back in the day, so it seems a bit of a shame that Joe didn't manage to get him into the studio, while he was over here, as that could have been interesting.

[@geraldfriend256]

I once had a long discussion with Ian Whitcomb about Joe Meek. Very interesting cats, both of those guys…

[@mndandy]

At the time of his death, Joe was contemplating an offer to became a staff producer at EMI. It would have been a completely different world from his scrappy indie productions but can you imagine some of the acts he may have gone on to work with? He would've been in full flower during the Summer of Love.

[@theculturedthug6609]

The 1970s music was made for Joe Meek. Such a shame he never made it.

[@thekitowl]

Joe started up on his own because he couldn’t work alongside anyone else. Had he have gone to EMI highly doubt Joe would have lasted a week having had hits on his own & being highly opinionated. He wasn’t a team player & we wouldn’t have these Jems from the 60’s if he wasn’t so single minded.

[@kiwitrainguy]

Britains Phil Spector ?@@thekitowl

[@garygomesvedicastrology]

​@@thekitowlI think Joe would have faced similar problems to what Clapton faced when he insisted his amp be played at full volume or that the Beatles (whose commercial clout helped them) when they wanted to do something like what Geoff Emerick did with the Beatles Revolution. Emerick had to rig the control board to allow Lennon to get the distorted sound he wanted (basically when no one was watching). Martin helped the Beatles do work arounds for what they wanted... not sure Meek would have had the patience for that...

[@thekitowl]

@@garygomesvedicastrology good point, I couldn’t see the EMI offer to Joe working on any level.

Happy New Year, YP, and thank you for opening 2024 with another superb video. I knew about Joe Meek's role in The Tornados' "Telstar" and The Honeycombs' all-too-brief moment in the spotlight, with their female drummer. I was not aware of the extent to which he was instrumental in pushing the sonic boundaries in the mid- to late-'60s, facilitating the move of rock and roll from conventional sounds and structures into the mind-altering aural landscapes (and spacescapes) to follow. LIke Brian Epstein and too many others, he was persecuted for his sexuality and his general nonconformism, and died way, way too young.

Thanx YP. PS update according to " Telstar" film Meek also passed on a band called The Beatles!

[@YesterdaysPapers]

Cheers, familydogg!

[@kiwitrainguy]

I was wondering when someone would mention Joe Meek's run in with Tom Jones.

[@chrisbacos]

I really enjoyed this episode. So sad that Joe Meek took his own life. He influenced many that followed. Think Brian Wilson and Frank Zappa. He laid the groundwork for synthpop and techno. Ritchie Blackmore has quite an impressive CV. I saw the movie with Steve Marriott. It's called Be My Guest and he co-starred with David Hemmings. Please keep 'em coming and have a great 2024.

[@YesterdaysPapers]

Cheers, Chris!

[@Krzyszczynski]

Actually there were two films with David Hemmings and Steve Marriott. The first was Live It Up (also known as Sing And Swing), mentioned in this video. It was set in London and followed the fortunes of a fictional band called the Smart Alecs. Be My Guest was the second, and relocated Hemmings' screen family to a seaside town after they inherited a hotel there - the Smart Alecs reform in a bid to help improve the hotel's business.

[@Krzyszczynski]

Forgot to add that the second film featured another fictional band with one of most delightfully outlandish names I've ever come across - Slash Wildly and The Cut-throats. Pretty far out even by today's standards, let alone 1964!!

[@marclemonmusic]

Ps I tried to get Honey Lantree on a session, I got as far as her cousin who said " It was a long, long time ago". The interviewer might well have added " You sweet, fragile young thing" and she didn't waste much time telling him where to get off lol

[@noscrubbubblez6515]

The Honeycombs 'Have I the Right' had the sweetest guitar distortion and really created a thirst for more electronic unusual sounds. For some reason I think of Dave Clark 5 as having a sound that compares. But I can't name which of their songs like this.

[@paulgoldstein2569]

I think the cherry in the cake here was that one by The Syndicats. It must have had the most advanced guitar techniques for 1965, really thick heavy freaky work, especially for then, with a semi wah-wah effect in the middle, about 18 months before the wah-wah pedal came in, even if the song itself is a little restrained. It is by far better than it's A side, a rather peculiar version of Ben E King's On The Horizon. If this single had been turned over, it might have charted, as the young music fans would have had a shock if they heard it, thinking they have never heard anything like it before. But both sides of that last Heinz single you mentioned were covers, I'm Not A Bad Guy was written by Jerry Allison of The Crickets who did the U.S. original. Movin' In was originally recorded in the UK about four years earlier by Danny Rivers, also produced by Joe Meek. But that Tornados' track you mentioned appears on their 4CD set Love And Fury; The Holloway Road Sessions without the overdubbed sound effects at the beginning and end, but with it's full unfaded instrumental end. That set also includes the backing track without the overdubbed clavioline lead, and the full length sound effects, part of which were used for the overdubbed hit version of Telstar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4aalZiArbCAZrs kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIDUiGuXoculgLc Thanks for another great video, Happy New Year.

[@davis7099]

a very interesting man and story. By 1967 he had heard the Beach boys "pet sounds " and the latest Beatles experimentations and the writing was on the wall. He felt out of place and his sound was dated. On top of this he suffered paranoia and personal setbacks which would lead to his moment of madness in his studio over a triffling matter with the landlady.. It was all very sad. Today he would receive rest, reasurrance and help.

The English Cryin' Shames, as opposed to the American group from the Chicago metropolitan area of a differently spelled same name (Cryan' Shames), who had a minor chart hit in 1966 and a longer legacy garage rock standard with their cover of 'Sugar and Spice' by the Drifters. Also, a freakbeat rendition of Guy Mitchell's trad-pop standard from a decade earlier was not something I thought I would ever come across until today, hence why I'm thankful for this subscription to your channel.

[@paulgoldstein2569]

Singin' The Blues was written in the States by Country singer/songwriter Melvin Endsley, but originally recorded there by Country singer Marty Robbins. It was covered there months later by Guy Mitchell for the Pop market, and then in the UK by Tommy Steele, purely for the local British market, which was common in those days. Both he and Guy had UK hits with it, after Guy and Marty had U.S. hits with it. Exactly the same pattern surrounded Guy's follow-up hit Knee Deep In The Blues. But the following year, Melvin wrote and himself recorded the original of another Country song, I Like Your Kind Of Love, which Andy Williams covered for the mainstream market, and had the main hit with it. But The Drifters did not record the original of Sugar And Spice. They did the original of another Searchers' hit, Sweets For My Sweet.
