Description
In Joe Meek's last months, he produced some of his best, hard-edged modand proto-psychedelicrecords -like this one. But still he clung on to the name of the Tornados, like a touchstone, reminding him of his greatest success with the 1962 hit single 'Telstar'. This Tornadosin 1966 was very different to the original line-up, based around an entirely different group called the Saxons, and had an entirely different sound. 'No More You And Me'has blistering guitar lines, and an intense soulful vocal; it's a British popsike monsterthat drives along like the Eyes or Wimple Winch. On the flip, 'You Always Did What You Wanted'is British blue-eyed soul, a terrific beat ballad with hypnotic swirling piano. Both point to directions Meek could have headed in had he lived, and are A-grade 60s beat. It's the first time on vinyl for both tracks. And it's another brace of dancefloor-friendlytracks from Bob Stanley's Measured Milelabel.
