		Meek's stories of these years included a hand-to-paw encounter with a grizzly bear, a narrow escape in a confrontation with a Blackfoot warrior, the death of his first Indian wife in an attack by a Bannock raiding party, and his second marriage to the daughter of a Nez Percé chief.

	Comfort Stand Recordings — Joe Meek
		Meek can be a winning vocalist, as evinced here by his bouncy-creepy demo of "He's All Mine." His was the talent of just missing the note, sometimes by a hair.
		Given Meek's hair-trigger temper, and his increasing tendency to fly into rages, I don't imagine it was any Sunday picnic for Adams, Goddard, et al to be handed off a typical Joe Meek demo.
		Joe Meek probably had no idea of how beautiful “it” was going to be!” Tepperman mused during a phone conversation.

	BARRY CLEVELAND \| JOE MEEK BOOK
		Meek was a bit of a freak--an extremist, a paranoiac, an occultist of sorts and a tortured homosexual at a time when the world was less sexually open.
		Joe Meek made major contributions to the recording industry, and this book brings them all together into one place for the first time.
		It was great to learn about Meek's story, both the technical and personal info, and to discover that he was behind two songs from my musical childhood that left distinct impressions on me.'Telstar' was a song I always remembered hearing but never knew anything about-not even its title.

		Joe Meek is unknown to the general public, but he changed the sound of rock music.
		Meek's greatest influence was the U.S. rocker Buddy Holly, who also influenced several other U.K. music innovators of this time, notably Graham Nash and the Beatles.
		Although Meek was an innovator, for some reason he failed to keep up with his own innovations, and eventually he was left in the dust by other recording producers after showing them the way.

	Adrian's Album Reviews : Joe Meek
		Joe Meek was a highly influential producer in the early sixties.
		However, at that time, I had no idea who Meek was and less understanding of his influence and impact on these recordings: it wasn't until I ran across his name in my reading during the early 1980s that I was able to connect the man with the music.
		If Meek had been a better businessman, or hadn't been spread so thinly, it is very likely that more of his records would have charted in the U.S. He was a tragic figure, though, unstable and bellicose, fina!ncially tenuous, sexually frustrated and amped up on Black Beauties.

		Joe Meek labored alone in his cramped home studio, twiddling knobs on his antiquated equipment in such a manic frenzy that he didn't even use a chair for most sessions.
		Prior to his untidy demise, Meek was a hotly contested suspect in another grisly murder, this one involving a dismembered youth found in several suitcases left strewn about the British countryside.
		Meek was riding high in 1962, when a desperate Brian Epstein played him the Beatles' Decca audition tapes that everyone else in London had already passed on.

		In Meek's case, this usually amounted to super-compressed sound, wavering sped-up vocals, ghostly backing violins and choruses, spooky echo and reverb, ticky-tack variable-speed piano, and all manners of Halloween and outer-space sound effects.
		Meek's business and production methods may have been ahead of his time, but his actual musical tastes actually started to run behind the times with the advent of the self-contained groups of the British Invasion.
		John Repsch's book The Legendary Joe Meek (published in the U.K. only) is a biography of this fascinating figure.

		Joe Meek was a cool customer he dressed in fl (always), in what we term 'mod' style which is a suit, a white shirt with a white collar and a tie.
		This is when he first introduced us (West Five) to Stereo, this took the part of the band standing and listening to the sound of a train coming from the left hand wall and going to the right hand wall.

		For fans of surf, bachelor pad exotica, and B-movie soundtracks, Joe Meek is a must.
		Obsessed with Buddy Holly, the occult, outer space and speed pills, Meek was so intensely paranoid about his "secret" homemade recording devices and production techniques as to use hand written notes to direct his engineer, for fear of other producers bugging his studio and stealing his tricks.
		Meeks masterpiece never saw the light of day until first issued on CD in 1991.

		My first icon is the legendary independent producer Joe Meek - genius of music technology and creator of such awesome sixties sounds as the spooky Johnny Remember Me by John Leyton, The Honeycombs' stomping Have I The Right and perhaps most famously, the cosmic Telstar by The Tornadoes.
		He employed numerous unconventional means to get the sounds he desired, from flushing toilets (played backwards), stamping feet on stairs and banging broomsticks on bathtubs, the results of which are probably best heard on the truly innovative, I Hear A New World - regarded by many to be the world's first concept album.
		In 1967 he became paranoiacally worried that he might be implicated in the "Suitcase Murder", when police found the body of a young male prostitute, who Joe knew, chopped up in two discarded suitcases in a field in Norfolk.

		If you’re familiar with the music of Joe Meek, and in particular his hit composition “Telstar”, then listening to these demos is a very surreal and amazing experience by comparison!
		DIY musician Joe Tepperman of the band GST Mugwump, and member of Ego Plum’ s Ebola Music Orchestra, once recalled “crying” when listening to “Telstar” (after comparing it to a demo of the recording).
		That's probably what the songs sounded in Joe's head to start with, and if so, we can call him great artist, as he pulled to reality what was lying deep inside.

		The music on here doesn't sound quite right, probably because the unmusical Joe Meek conveyed his ideas by recording his hums and beating on kitchenware, neither of which he was very good at.
		The album's history is mostly one of obscurity, as it hasn't seen complete release until now, living in legend and a few advance pressings and bootlegs.
		Years before terms like "ambient" and "concept album" were new and exciting, Joe Meek was constructing the music to fit those terms.
