Ku Pow: British Instrumental Guitar Music Of 60'S Ku Pow: British Instrumental Guitar Music Of 60'S CD

UK collection. The recordings made by producer Joe Meek in the late '50s and early '60s changed the face of pop music and revolutionized the recording processes behind it. Claiming to "Paint pictures in sound," Meek enjoyed a string of hits but it was 'Telstar, his own composition, performed by the Tornados for which he will best be remembered. Hit-maker to Britain's first generation of homegrown pop stars, Meek was an outsider who singlehandedly challenged the supremacy of the record industry establishment. The Shadows' monumental hit 'Apache', had ushered in the golden era of British instrumental guitar pop. They, along with John Barry, Bert Weedon and, of course, Joe Meek's 'Tornados' scored hits with consistency, while others merely flirted with chart success. The four other artists on the edition's nine Meek productions, the Packabeats, the Moontrekkers, Flee-Rekkers and the Outlaws all belong in this category; each however a masterpiece in the sound technology created by Meek at his Holloway Road studio.
