The Tornadoes - Take 2

Here's an interesting description of The Tornadoes' situation. I had no idea of any of this when I gave my description of their song "Telstar."

It just goes to show that there's a ton of drama in everything. It was a number one hit but didn't turn out to be all that happy for the main guy, Joe Meek.

Other than his personal tragedy, the article has some interesting things to say about his recording techniques and innovations, and why the record sounds so strange.
