V.A. Joe Meek, And His Magic Wand, Part. 8, Vols. 43-48, 1963 (2) - 1964 (1)

 


Bueno, pues esto ya va avanzando y en esta octava parte tenéis otros seis volúmenes que corresponden a los años 1963 y 1964, unos años en los que el sonido "Meek" estaba totalmente asentado y nuevos artistas se querían unir a la fiesta.
Es el caso por ejemplo de gente como "Cliff Bennett & The Rebel Rousers", sin duda una de las mejores formaciones británicas de la época o "Screaming Lord Sutch", una curiosísima banda con un sonido único que tiene  todavía hoy en día infinidad de seguidores.


Por lo demás estos años están marcadas por la apuesta que hizo sobre todo con "Heinz" y sobretodo con "Honeycombs", con los cuales consiguió un número uno con "Have I The Right", uno de los temas emblemáticos de la carrera de Meek, con ambos artistas tuvo una intensa colaboración que dió como fruto muchisimas canciones.
Sigue tambien con gente de años anteriores como son "Tornados", "Mike Berry" o "Michael Cox", intentando rememorar viejos exitos, aunque sin conseguirlo y solo consiguieron unos discretos puestos en las listas de éxitos. Tambien reseñar las buenas canciones de su por aquel entonces amiguete "Geoff Goddard".
Aparecen n uevasbandas con sonidos mas "modernos", como por ejemplo "Syndicats" o "The Cameos", una banda que me gusta especialmente, "The "Blue Rondos" o un joven "Tom Jones", que irrumpió con una fuerza aplastante, que con el paso del tiempo se le fue aplacando.


Bueno, una visión de una parte de la música que se estaba gestando en Gran Bretaña en esos años, y como siempre "Joe Meek" a su aire, ignorando las modas imperantes esos años y haciendo lo que a el le gustaba.
Nada mas, solo la lista de canciones para que os hagáis una idea:

Hi Thomas.
Thank you for your regular visit.
The series continues and we see the evolution of the "Meek" sounds.
There are still quite a few volumes left.
I hope the translator works for you, in Chrome it's automatic.
Cheers
José

Hello José. Thanks for the next episode in the Joe Meek story. I expect to keep more tracks from this period (1963-1964) than from the previous years. We'll see.

jose kortozirkuito dijo...

Hi Rob
This period is more of pop-music, I hope you discover something interesting for you.
Cheers
Jose

Rob Kopp dijo...

I already had every track I liked, so nothing new this time. But that's no problem. I'll download the next volume in this serie again with pleasure.

My friend Lemonflag:
Thanks for your words. For me it has been a great experience, because there were many artists or songs unknown to me. In universe "Meek" is really magical.
all the best
Jose

This is truly overwhelming, sir! I found you a couple months ago while scouring the internet for more Joe Meek material, and this is more than I ever could have hoped for!

You see I've been listening to almost nothing but Joe Meek since I discovered his music back in June. I hear he's very popular but I'd never even heard of him before. His music has been such a revelation to me. It's pure uninhibited ALPHA pop, ambitiously artificial like from some bright and colorful kaleidoscopic parallel dimension!

By this era I've heard most of the material but there are still some that are new to me, such as alternate versions of songs I didn't know existed. Best of all this time is hearing more Houston Wells! I love early western music, and Joe Meek western music is an oddball combination, but a very pleasurable one to me! Houston Wells himself has a beautiful voice and beautiful yodel! Even when he is sped up and slowed down, hahaha.

Sorry if this is a chore to read but I have been wanting to thank you for all the joy you have given me these last few months. Special thanks, too, for the amazing work on the pre-60s era. Maybe it's my imagination but the roots of Meek's style was quite evident in much of the pop music in those volumes, particularly. It's fun to listen and think about.

Best wishes and love to you, sir!

Hi friend.
This really is a magical universe.
It is essential to understand the music of the 50s and 60s.
This series is divided by years, and at the end there will be some volumes dedicated to songs with no exact year and some rarities.
If you're looking for rarities, Cherry Red Records is starting to release the first volumes of "Joe Meek's Tea Chest Tapes", which sound great. This will not be included in this collection, except what was previously published.
Cheers
Jose
