5.0 out of 5 stars Great 2 Disc Overview of Joe Meek Productions, November 15, 2006
Nifty 56 track, 2 cd compilation of noted, independent UK producer Joe Meek. Contains his biggest hits in the US, "Have I The Right" by the Honeycombs, and "Telstar", by the Tornados.

The set is a great overview of Joe Meek's productions and also contains rare tracks as well. Highly recommended for any fans
of 60's British pop music.
