CD Reviews

If you like 60's garage....
Bradley D. Dawson | Portland, Oregon United States | 08/06/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"As a recording engineer, this man was truly a pioneer.

He built some of his own equipment and was extremely covetous of his sound.



I learned about him because one of his assistants eventually began to manufacture versions of Joe Meeks original designs of compressors and Pre Amps.

I liked the gear so much, I had to hear what he did with it.



Impressive, considering he recorded in mono for AM radio."

"Just look at the cover - "30 Freakbeat, mod & R&B nuggets" - and here's only one half of that collection in the mp3 downloads section. Wahhh! I think Meekfans would appreciate paying a little more, like $13.98, for the entire album!"
