I saw this film at a special screening at the Sheffield Showroom Cinema in early October 2014 having only recently been introduced to Joe Meek and the influence he had on the 1960's music scene. I found this documentary to be an amazing piece of work and really helped me to understand the real Joe Meek and his rise and decline.
The way Berger and Stahman have captured the highlights and pitfalls of Meek's career are so descriptive and the interviews with friends, colleagues and family really help you to understand what type of person Meek was and why he is so influential to this day in the world of music production.
It's easy to tell how much effort and love went into the this documentary and does not fail to deliver on making you feel as though you have been on this epic journey of discovery and knowledge right along side the directors.
To everyone, be you a long serving Meek fan or having just heard about him from this review, I recommend viewing this master piece. I guarantee you will not regret the decision.
