I did have a photo
of Joe Meek here but now I've got this email instead:
| You
are using my copyright photograph of Joe Meek without permission
on your web page http://www.wrecklesseric.com/joe_meek.htm
There is no excuse for this because my name and copyright notice
is displayed on the lower left hand side of the image. This image
was "lifted" from another
web site, the owner of which had previously requested permission to so use
it.

If you wish to continue to use this photograph you may do so if a reproduction

on this web site only and at the size currently displayed for a period of one

It
was a good photo but I can't afford fifty pounds a year so it had
to go. Sorry Clive - if you'd been less officious about it I might
have been open to negotiation.
To learn more about
Joe Meek you have to read The Legendary Joe Meek by John Repsch published
by Cherry Red Books. If you buy it you'll see Clive Bubley's photo.
(So that's something I've done for Clive.)
The first record I ever bought was Globetrotter by the Tornadoes which
was written and produced by Joe Meek. His homemade / DIY approach was
very much akin to the original punk ethic (I mean before punk got to
being about wearing a leather jacket, playing dumb music
and trying to be anti-social).
I can't think of much more to add so I'll just give you the chords
so that you can play the song at home. Or round the campfire. Or whatever
it is you do.
