Demos!","description":"\u003cp\u003e3CD set exploring the fascinations and experiments of the legendary Joe Meek. 82 tracks of far outer space exploration, ghoulish goings on, deathly laments, wild west imaginings and joe’s own inimitable home demos! 57 previously unreleased tracks! Many never-before-heard stereo versions! All tracks from the legendary tea chest tapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnique among the 1960s pop landscape, and facilitated by his own home studio set-up, Joe Meek pursued and expressed a passion for his countless hobbies through his hit records and studio productions. From the legendary ‘I Hear A New World’ sonic landscapes and the Tornados’ global hit ‘Telstar!’ to several successful horror-themed records with Screaming Lord Sutch and his smash hit laments to both Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran, Meek’s fascinations were never far from his thoughts, often resulting in wildly imaginative and way ahead of their time recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaden with sound effects, experimental electronics, eccentric lyrics and themes that often stretched the boundaries of what pop music could be in the early 1960s, \u003cem\u003eA Curious Mind\u003c\/em\u003e showcases both Meek’s imagination and his mastery of the recording studio. A selection of themed demos shine light on hit songs that might’ve been, while sound effects and experimental electronic production sessions set him many years ahead of his contemporaries and rivals. The familiar hits are here, alongside lesser-known gems and material never before heard in stereo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf particular interest is a disc of newly discovered ‘I Hear A New World’ versions and outtakes, including an early compilation\/demo of the album that still sounds futuristic 65 years after it was recorded. A must hear for fans of that album, presented for the first time in pristine sonic quality, having previously only been heard as distorted vinyl dubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACK LISTING\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISC ONE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBEYOND THE STARS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1  Ricky Wayne's Introduction*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2  Joe Meek and The Blue Men - I Hear A New World\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3  The Tornados - Telstar (Alternate Edit)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4  Geoff Goddard - Sky Men\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5  Glenda Collins - It's Hard To Believe It (Alternate Lyrics)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6  The Tornados - Life On Venus (Mix 4)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7  Joe Meek - Spacescape #2*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8  The Thunderbolts - March Of The Spacemen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9  The Tornados - Globetrotter (Mix 2)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10  Joe Meek - Spacescape #3*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11  The Thunderbolts - Saturn And Back (Take 10)*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12  The Tornados - Robot (Mix 3)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e13  Dave Adams - Space Theme*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e14  Glenda Collins - Magic Star (Take 1)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e15  Joe Meek and The Blue Men - Dribcots Space Boat (Take 5)*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e16  Joe Meek - FX Experiment #2*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e17  The Thunderbolts - Lost Planet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e18  The Tornados - All The Stars In The Sky (Original Speed)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e19  The Thunderbolts - Stepping On The Stars (Take 2)*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20  Joe Meek - Have You Ever Tried Living On The Moon?*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e21  The Thunderbolts - Call Of Outer Space (Take 7)*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e22  The Rhythmics - Telstar (Take 3)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e23  The Tornados - Lullaby Of The Stars\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e24  Geoff Goddard - Sky Men (Original Speed\/Pre-Overdubs)* 25 The Rhythmics - Life On Venus (Take 2)*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e26  Joe Meek and The Blue Men - Glob Waterfall (Take 9)*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e27  Joe Meek - Spacescape #5*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISC TWO \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBEYOND THE GRAVE \/ OUT WEST\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1  Screaming Lord Sutch - Jack The Ripper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 The Moontrekkers - Night Of The Vampire\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3  Screaming Lord Sutch - She's Fallen In Love With A Monster Man (O'Dubs Take 6)*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4  Joe Meek - You Make Me Feel Evil*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5  Doctor Dark - Put Me Back To Rot*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6  Geoff Goddard – Somebody’s Knocking On My Coffin*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7  Screaming Lord Sutch - Monster In Black Tights (Organ Version)*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8  Meek\/Sutch - Screaming Session*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9 The Moontrekkers - Unknown Horrors*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10  Joe Meek - Dark Stranger (Take 6)*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11 The Outlaws - The Spook Walks (A TV Theme) (Take 1)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12  Screaming Lord Sutch \u0026amp;
