First that comes to mind to me is Joe Meek. Just in general he was far far ahead of his time! Check out "Joe Meek and the Blue Mean - I Hear A New World" which was released as an EP in 1960, only 100 copies were pressed and was originally intended as a stereo test record. Yes, it does sound dated now, but for it's time it was soooo far out!
He also produced "Johnny Remember Me" (1961), "Night of The Vampire" (first single ever to be banned in the UK... deemed unsuitable for those of a weak disposition!) and "Till The Following Night" by Screaming Lord Such which has completely proto Iggy vocals!! (also 1961).

Some others: -

Captain Beefheart - Safe As Milk (1966) (check out Dropout Boogie!)

Ummmmmmm, actually that is all i can think of for now......
