Portrait of a Genius

This is the ultimate Joe Meek anthology with his first wholly comprehensive career overview. Contains 4 CD's, the 1st of which presents many of the hits he engineered for major UK labels during the mid/late 50's. The 2nd features Joe going it alone, topping the UK charts with 'Johnny Remember Me'. The 3rd disc Telstar, propels Meek to international success, and the 4th disc Have I The Right, introduces a whole new sound. Discs 2-4 include collector's rarities, demos, interviews, previously unissued sides and more. Also included is a 48 page full color saddle-stitched booklet full of rare pics and memorabilia with liner notes written by St. Etienne's Bob Stanley, a self-confessed Joe Meek fanatic. Castle. 2005.
