Jason Eddie and The Centremen - Singing The Blues (1966)

Billy Fury's brother Albie Wycherley is Jason Eddie. Here is a great Meek produced track. Apparently he added the wild guitar afterwards without the band knowing and they weren't happy, but in retrospect they must agree now that it added some vital originality to the song that makes it sound quite innovative today.

without Meek's fusion of sounds it would just be another record, this makes it great

The group hated what Joe had done to this track. But I love it!

@john111257 Yep, it is a sad tale, knowing that in 1967 homosexuality was made legal and that by the 70's Bealtemania was gone and glam rock was big. Joe Meek's sound would have returned and he would have been another Mickie Most. If he only knew, instead of blowing his brains out at his wits end.

@joemeek304 dead right..some great stuff had no push at all..great to see US cover...poor radio play in england..only the pirates...and the government couldnt wait to see them go...joe had all the ingredients to move on to the 70s...pepperbox...popcorn etc...i feel all influenced by telstar...re rgm...re JOE...

Agree with joemeek304, heard this on the pirate ships in the 60's, there was nothing else like this sound around then, nothing at all. Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath etc still on the horizon. Took about 25 years to track down this disc.

what a strange arrangement of this classic!

[joemeek304]

you should listen to the riot squad, the buzz, david john & the mood, sydicats, his sounds were up to date just didnt hit mainstream due to bad promotion
