Back in 1962, the Tornados released "Telstar" a spaced out instrumental written and produced by Joe Meek. It was the First Record by a British Rock Group to Reach Number One in the US Hot 100 and it set Meek apart from the record producers of his time. We explore "Telstar" and the Meek's career and legacy, from ingenuity to outer space to paranoia and beyond. Plus, a jaw-clenching Mouthgarf Report and I See What You Did There!
