Synopsis
Telstar
$14.99 Published by Oberon
Set in the backdrop of early 60s London, Telstar is the story of the
world's first independent record producer, Joe Meek
A maverick genius who enjoyed phenomenal early success with "Telstar" the biggest selling record of its time before bad luck, depression, heartbreak and paranoia forced him to murder and suicide
A gay amphetamine-addicted talented but deeply troubled soul, Meek dabbled in the occult
He is already an iconic figure in the world of British pop whose messy end had a bizarre inevitability. Far from being a maudlin tale, however, this stranger than fiction true story is a brilliantly sharp and beautifully observed satirical comedy
