Favorite parts include a TV show appearance by Screaming Lord Sutch, a recording of Meek talking with a cat, and Meek's assistant reliving the horrible end. The interviews with Heinz and Geoff Goddard are great as well. And for those who missed my post in the general forum regarding the new Telstar movie, it's now available for pre-order: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0026ZPKTS/ — T H E ✠ S U R F I T E S Top

I looked for where Buddy Holly was recorded and found this website about the Norman Petty Studios, http://www.superoldies.com/pettystudios/pettytour.html I'm sure Joe Meek listened intently to how Buddy Holly was recorded. I wonder if Joe also listened to Duane Eddy and did he know about the Petty echo room or the water tank used by Duane Eddy. My question comes from the fact that Joe had his "secret" reverb box. This web article talks about that box and others, http://emusician.com/artists/emusic_production_values_meek/index.html The article also says: " Meek close-miked sources, largely eliminating the room sound, and then used compressor/limiters to tighten up the sounds and give them more punch. Whatever ambience was lost because of the close-miking technique was made up for by sending everything to an echo chamber. That basic concept, though so common now that it's taken for granted, was considered radical (and wrong) at the time." Maybe radical in Britain but seemed to be standard practice in America at the time. So, maybe Joe Meeks' "Revolution" was to record British pop music in an American way. I don't want to take anything away from Joe Meek, I'm still unclear on the time line when all these things first happened. Top
