Telstar: The Joe Meek Story Page #11

Synopsis: In the early 1960s self-taught electronics whizz Joe Meek amazingly produces a string of home made hit singles from his studio in his flat above a leather shop in London. His biggest success is the instrumental 'Telstar' but accusations of plagiarism delay royalties. Joe's mercurial temper causes his artists to forsake him for other labels, in particular his young lover Heinz Burt. Now in debt and after unwisely parting from his chief financier Major Banks, Joe finds himself unable to control his life. Increasingly paranoid, believing he is being bugged by rival record companies and that everybody is out to get him, the last straw comes when landlady Violet tells him she is selling the building in which he lives. Joe had once confiscated a shotgun from Heinz. Now it is dangerously close at hand and about to end the Joe Meek story.

Please stay

Don't go

Please, please, stay.

Cheatin' was his trade

A seller of lies

A heart so cold

He seemed to hypnotise

He always works alone

Crawdaddy Simone

He had no axe to grind

You never saw him smile

But his look was good

He always dressed in style

He always walks alone

Crawdaddy Simone...
