Joe Meek’s blue plaque
I found this when looking for something else and then remembered that the subject of #JoeMeek popped up recently. From his hometown of Newent, Glos.
Let's take a Scopitone music break with THE TORNADOS 'ROBOT' (1963) at 11:55am. A quaint promotional reel for this #JoeMeek combo!

An American style British car from 1962 with lavish chrome trim and a stylish two-tone paint job. It's been abandoned, the tyres are flat and the windows all broken. An ignominious end for a rare vintage car.
Very sad to see this rare 1962 #SunbeamRapier abandoned like this. It's the same car #JoeMeek had, and in the same finish. No idea if it's stolen but it looks like it's been around the corner of the Avonmouth Tavern, BS11 9JE for some time. #VintageCar, #BarnFind, #ClassicCar.
You WON’T believe how his story ends… #joemeek #music #musicsky #bluesky #musicstory #cultbaby #tragic

Front page news about Joe Meeks' murder/suicide
#QuickSidenote On February 3, 1967, Joe Meek argued with his landlady, Violet Shenton, over unpaid rent & noise… He took a shotgun and killed Shenton, then turned the gun on himself. He was 37. #JoeMeek #OneHitWondered
#QuickSidenote Sadly, he’s also living with the pressure of being a gay man in a time when homosexuality is still criminalized, and is arrested in 1963 for ‘importuning for immoral purposes.’ After that, he’s targeted by blackmailers and feels constantly under threat. #JoeMeek #OneHitWondered
#QuickSidenote By the mid-'60s, the world shifts. The Beatles & the self-contained band era shove aside Joe Meek’s ‘producer as auteur’ world and suddenly, work dries up… Meek descends into paranoia, battling severe mood swings… fueled by a few too many amphetamines. #JoeMeek #OneHitWondered
Producer Joe Meek in Meeksville
#QuickSidenote Because of the lawsuit, Joe Meek’s royalties were frozen for years, at the exact moment he should have been financially secure for life… The case is finally resolved in Meek’s favor, only weeks after his death. #JoeMeek #OneHitWondered
