This review is from: Vampires Cowboys Spacemen & Spooks: Very Best Of Joe (Audio CD)

This compilation covers Joe Meek's productions involving instrumental groups and pieces. And you get a stereo mix of the classic "Telstar" to boot plus other unreleased sides. Of course anything involving Joe Meek can involve anything from great to completely horrible but this set is mostly decent throughout with just a few clunkers I choose not name, you have to decide that for yourself. Also included are thorough liner notes with information about the tracks and the groups. So if you a fan of the Shadows you will definitely like this.

If you are to buy only one compilation of early surf rock, this is it. Essential. Use it to soundtrack your low budget horror movie!

TWO CD PACKAGE, 60 SELECTIONS OF INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PRODUCED BY JOE MEEK IN THE EARLY 60'S IN MONO. THE SONGS RANGE FROM GREAT, TO GOOD, TO REALLY BAD. THAT'S WHY IT GETS THREE STARS.
