Joe Meek’s Bold Techniques
Legendary British producer and technical innovator Joe Meek, the “Telstar Man,” has become a cult figure since his tragic death in 1967. Joe Meek’s Bold Techniques explores the recording iconoclast’s career in great depth, with special attention paid to the equipment and techniques he used to craft his singular sounds.
