Telstar

Joe Meek killed himself 43 years ago today!  eeek:

It was pure coincidence that I watched telstar on the (near) anniversary of his death last night but I'm bloody glad I did.

A totally awesome movie!  happy088 happy088 happy088 happy088 happy088

Joe Meek was the world's first independent record producer and became famous with the release of Telstar which was number 1 in Britain and the USA - the biggest selling record of the time.

Those of you of around my age prolly have the ear-worm now but if you don't this is Telstar.

The film tells Jo's story from the time he set up his recording studio in London. Great recreation of London in the 60s and some beautiful old vehicles.

The acting is superb, the soundtrack is awesome.

Features Con O'Neill, Kevin Spacey, Ralf Little and James Corden.

I urge you to buy/rent/steal this film...

Features man-on-man shagging.

Watched this film last night and would concur with BM ( not something you are going to hear very often  lol: )

But brilliant performances all round . A very troubled man, as is the plight of many a genius one feels  noooo:
