They sounded good before that 'Topographic' shite and beyond!

**Also been consuming the DVD of the film "Telstar".
I'd wanted to see this on a big screen somewhere when it came out, but never got around to it (more like totally forgot about it)
I think it's up there with the best 'music films' out there and Con O'Neill is fantastic in his portrayal of Meek. All round the acting is great.
It seems as though the production team really did their homework and the research they conducted put them in touch with folk who were close to the whole story.
Not much about the "I Hear A New World" material in there, as it's more about his personal life and demons etc., but you do get the feel of Meek's obssession with sound.
Also, I'd been fascinated as a kid by The Honeycombs' "Have I The Right" 45 with that stompin' chorus, so to see a film sequence with people recording the backing track to said stompin' chorus, really was marvellous.
I'm sure many folk have seen this film already, but for those who haven't, then it's very recommended
Get the DVD now!
