The Legendary Joe Meek

Language
English
Format
Category

Non-fiction

The classic biography of one of the greatest record producers of all time - a man who famously rejected The Beatles. Joe Meek broke the boundaries of pop production in the 1950s and 60s, and dominated the music industry for a period, despite his outsider, renegade approach. Famously, his life ended tragically when he shot both himself and his landlady in 1967, but his legacy remains, and is explored wonderfully in "The Telstar Man"
