Telstar
Joe Meek killed himself 43 years ago today!
It was pure coincidence that I watched telstar on the (near) anniversary of his death last night but I'm bloody glad I did.
A totally awesome movie!
Joe Meek was the world's first independent record producer and became famous with the release of Telstar which was number 1 in Britain and the USA - the biggest selling record of the time.
Those of you of around my age prolly have the ear-worm now but if you don't this is Telstar.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2ybCjf6rasThe film tells Jo's story from the time he set up his recording studio in London. Great recreation of London in the 60s and some beautiful old vehicles.
The acting is superb, the soundtrack is awesome.
Features Con O'Neill, Kevin Spacey, Ralf Little and James Corden.
I urge you to buy/rent/steal this film...
