Description

PLEASE NOTE: If the winning bid for this item reaches £47 or higher, or if you are the successful bidder for two or more items, DO NOT PAY BEFORE the seller has sent you an invoice with adjusted postage costs. Thank you.

This is the compilation gate-fold double-album "The Joe Meek Story...", issued in electronically reprocessed Mono to give Stereo (usually good by Decca) on (British) Decca DPA 3035/6 in 1977. As the album title suggests, this is a celebration of the many artists produced by Joe Meek and who had singles issued on Decca during the 1960s. Compiled by Alan Blackburn and Jim Blake, the latter writing the extensive sleeve note.

The album comes from the collection of a British Decca record company executive and it looks like only one side has been actually played, if at all - the whole is mint, if not actually unplayed, making it a great rarity. The laminated sleeve is excellent (note there is glare on the right-hand side of the picture, caused by reflection from the lamination). The 24 titles are:

Mike Berry & The Outlaws - My baby doll
Don Charles - Walk with me my angel; Guess that's the way it goes; Angel of love
Peter Jay & The Jaywalkers - Can can 62; Totem pole
Tony Victor - There was a time
The Tornados - Telstar; All the stars in the sky; Dreamin' on a cloud; Life on Venus
Heinz - Dreams do come true; Country boy; Just like Eddie
Pamela Blue - My friend bobby
Screaming Lord Sutch - Monster in black tights; Jack the Ripper
Roger LaVern & The Microns - Christmas stocking
Freddie Starr & The Midnighters - Who told you?
Sounds Incorporated - Keep moving
Davy Kaye - In my way
The Saxons - Saxon warcry
The Millionaires - Wishing well
Cryin' Shames - Please stay
