Mississippi
v/a- EMOTIONAL, COSMIC & OCCULT WORLD OF JOE MEEK LP
$35.95
Highly recommended.
A trip through the productions of pioneering genius Joe Meek brought to you by the talented diggers at Mississippi. The label is currently in a "purple patch" which has seen releases by Little Bob and the Lollipops, Chrissy Zebby Tembo and a batch of wonderful obscure country comps. This release is no less essential.
Here we have a mix of hits that have appeared on comps before and real out there obscurities. Designed to be highly listenable. Never a dull moment amongst these songs that cover subjects close to Joes' heart such as Vampires, Love (and the lack of it), Death, Outer space, the Human soul, Buddy Holly, and more. Artists featured are The Blue Rondos, The Blue Men, Jason Eddie and the Centremen, The Sound Offs, The Moontrekkers, Johnny Leyton, The Cryin' Shames, Mike Berry, The Outlaws, Chick Lewis, Glenda Collins and even Joe himself warbling out a tune.
