I'm building a time machine to go back to the 60s, anybody want to come?,

[manjacovus]

And incredible to think that the whole thing was recorded and filmed in Joe Meek's scullery 😊

[robertstevens]

The first record I ever bought from my paper round money was "Son this is she" John leyton Now when I pick up my old age pension I go home and still play it

[alangilbert-voss]

The innocence of it all....But what a document of the early '60s. And what a showcase of the brilliance of Joe Meek.

The reverb Joe had makes everything sound eerie… the BV's are otherworldly.. amazing ❤️

RIP Iain Gregory 8 April 2021. Thank you for the music.

This is the greatest clip I've ever seen

[ferocel]

Love how they got around the fade-outs problem as these are clearly the studio recordings. Charles Blackwell 'fading' the band. So glad this promo was preserved for us to see 60 years on.

I'm watching this film with my son every evening

[gogarrio]

Everything so clear! Another shining moment for Goddard, Meek, Leyton and The Tornados.

I was born in 61 and still appreciate this music

[carsonwhite]

being a child born the sixties I only wished it was the late forties to enjoy such marvelous music but thanks to YouTube I can today.

Fascinating window into the past, before the Beatles came along, a wealth of home grown talent emerged during the late 50s early 60s, many of the big chart makers were swept aside during the Mersey boom of 1963.
I've heard Mick jagger say that prior to the Beatles we only had Acker bilk and some comedy act's.
He clearly forgot about Johnny kid, cliff Richard, Marty wild, Billy Fury, Joe Brown, Shane Fenton, John Leyton, Helen Shapiro and the many more pop stars that were around in the UK long before himself

[miyukishijisha]

I bought all his singles, my first real idol back then

[henrysteedman]

Never knew this wee film existed until I bought the John Leyton, Lone Rider 3 CD boxset on Cherry Red Records. Charles Blackwell playing himself and Clem Cattini on drums and a pre-bleached Heinz. Great stereo sound. Joe Meek couldn’t read music but was a musical genius.

[tracyyy]

Well...What a treat this was to watch....

[Communitysunshine]

THIS is flippin' fantastic! Great filming along with that beautiful, bizarre Meek sound... Just great.

[fabro]

Those were magical years. Unique and full of talents. Wonderful songs, melodies and choruses. Thanks for that great video!
