Telstar the Joe Meek
Story
West Street
London
WC2H 9ND
Telstar traces the rise and
tragic fall of an iconic figure of British pop Joe Meek, Britain's
first independent record producer and original rock 'n' roll
pioneer. Transforming his tiny flat over a handbag shop into
a recording studio, Meek produced massive hits of the period.
Meek's passion and drive came hand in hand with a volatile
manner fuelled by a paranoia and amphetamine addiction made
him impossible to work with. Telstar is a black comedy that
takes us back to the mad days and nights of Meek's recording
sessions 1961-67, his turbulent career and fateful alliance
with land-lady Violet Shenton (Linda Robson).
