Title Note

Audio Remasterer: Peter J. Reynolds.

Recording information: 1959 - 1966.

British record producer Joe Meek was ahead of his time in his use of weird effects, unusual arrangements, and technological manipulation to achieve oddball sounds and atmosphere of proto-psychedelic quality. No one else in the 1960s, aside from Phil Spector, perhaps, had such a distinctive, idiosyncratic style of production. VAMPIRES, COWBOYS, SPACEMEN & SPOOKS: THE VERY BEST OF JOE MEEK'S INSTRUMENTALS provides the perfect introduction to Meek's sonic universe, which sounds like something between a beach party and a haunted house--in space. His landmark track for the Tornados, "Telstar," is included here.
