The perfect embodiment of "the Joe Meek Sound," The Tornados were the greatest of the British instrumental groups, and were influential beyond anything they could have imagined at the time. The long reach of "the sound" touched such diverse fields as American surf music and the soundtrack scores for Italian westerns. This collection is definitive, containing more cuts than I ever knew the Tornados had recorded. A few of the cuts are corny, but most are engaging, and several are as electrifying now as they were in 1963. The liner notes by longtime band member Clem Cattini are illuminating and refreshingly honest--like the sound itself. An essential piece of music history, and guaranteed to get under the skin of anyone who's a sucker for guitar instrumentals.
