Description

Rick Nelson - It's Up to You
California C-397 Sweden 1963
Sleeve : Very Good+
  Vinyl : Very Good+

One of the saddest stories in rock & roll history surrounds the Tornados, an instrumental group from Britain. They  were the creation of British producer Joe Meek, who was England's first independent producer, being equal parts Thomas Edison, Phil Spector and Ed Wood. An inveterate tinkerer, he designed his own compression units and microphone pre-amps, giving his productions their own distinct sound. Setting up a homemade studio in a three-story flat on Holloway Road in London, Meek pioneered such recording techniques as close miking of instruments, distortion, his aforementioned trademark compression, loud drums fortified by percussion from pocket combs, milk bottles, and stomping the floorboards himself.

He put together the original Tornados in late 1961 as a studio session group. After one single flopped, Meek had the group do one of his compositions, an instrumental called "Telstar." Utilizing willful distortion, cheap tape echo, beeping satellite sound effects, a cheesy-sounding Clavioline (a two-octave keyboard powered by a battery), and massive amounts of tube compression, the resulting production sounded like nothing else at the time, or since. It became the first number one record on the American charts by a British rock group and ended up selling five million copies worldwide.

Original Swedish single, b/w Locomotion with Me, with a scarce Picture Sleeve - the sleeve shows some minor wear - the vinyl graded Very Good+!
