  • Telstar was the first Telecommunictions Satelite, placed into service late in 1961 or early 62'...

    It was a "Big Deal", all over the News, making it possible too Direct Dial, International Calls, without Operator Assistance... Exciting stuff for a "Sci-Fi", "Space Age", "High Tech" addicted 14 year old, looking forward too a Bright Future, without war, a future where Science and Technology could solve all of Mankinds problems... This song just added to the excitement... Boy, was I wrong!

  • Telstar 1962. A flashback to a time when many earthlings were optimistic about the future.  Success and survival is all about optimism. This tune is priceless really.

  • @birdyboy1961 dude shut up...

  • @TomthatiscalledTom Awesome scene

  • To the video I'll not respond (it takes my eyes away from what I'm doing). To the music I'll respond. I was in High School & the 50s music was great but then there was the Russians with their "Sputnick (spelling). We needed something new to say that we had not lost the race -- espically space! Then there was the "Ventures," & this wonderful Instrumental called "Telstar." Oh! there were other greats -- but when you are 17/18 teen, Somethings Remain -- Forever!

  • la escuche en un LP y el sonido es magnífico.

  • play it when Martians invade the Earth

  • Don Draper looking out of an airplane window, smoking, about to jet off to the West Coast

  • I absolutely LOVE those harp arpeggios during the guitar chorus--they really paint the picture of "celestial"....this blew my mind when I was 12 years old and I first heard this song. Yup--I wore out my 45rpm copy of it!

  • thanks joe meek for this song
