The Sharades - Dumb Head (Joe Meek)

[54markl]

This guy was the paramount genius of rock n roll before the Beatles. I wish his career had gone better, he could have made a huge contribution. At least he gave the world "Telstar." Sheer genius, way ahead of its time. And The Bublight is brilliant. For what it's worth, it is the true beginning of Progressive Rock.

Used to do discos early 1980s . This would have been a monster hit if rereleased at that time. Joe Meek was so ahead of the game. RIP

nice song

[Petemonster62]

This cover does have an 80's new-wave/techopop feel to it. Apparently Joe Meek was ahead of his time musically producing this song as well as " Telstar "!

I *neeeed* to find a single of this.

[BubblegumOnMyKnees]

Only Joe Meek would. Hats off to the man.

[Paddymcwhoop]

i know meek was a genius - but this is mental to say it was made in the 60s
