Monkees Mania

Review and Photos: Jacob Blickenstaff


The Monkees, reunited with guitarist Michael Nesmith for the first time since disbanding in 1971 (not counting a few fitful UK dates in 1997), played the final show of their US tour at the Beacon Theater on December 2, 2012. The reunion with Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork came after - and possibly as a result of - the untimely death of Davy Jones last February.

Even while reverting to playful bits of vaudeville humor between songs, The Monkees mostly avoided schtick and focused on the great and under appreciated value of their music (cough, cough, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, cough). The group dug deeply into album tracks, including sections devoted to "HEAD" and lesser known tracks from "Headquarters," the self-produced album that The Monkees released to assert their autonomy as a band.  This did not detract from their well-loved and exceptionally crafted hits, many of which, as Dolenz pointed out, were written by stellar talents such as Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, Gerry Goffin and Carole King, Neil Diamond, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weill, and Harry Nilsson, among others.


Embracing their innovative role within television and film, the stage setup prominently featured a continuous video projection that collaged and referenced everything from campy cash-in TV commercials to clips from the subversive, satirical film "HEAD." Video montages were used twice to pay tribute to Davy Jones, and when it was time for "Daydream Believer" (Jones' signature song) Dolenz invited a young woman from the audience to lead an audience sing-along.

Despite the absence of Davy Jones' irreplaceable charm and charisma, the concert scratched a deep itch on Monkees fans' backs, honoring the depth and creativity of their music while becoming again, for two vivid, flickering  hours, the multimedia pop-culture stars they are.  By embracing both their creative and pop-culture powers (as their best work always has) the concert resolved the paradox of The Monkees;  born inside a cathode ray test tube, they emerged as musical artists yet remained inside the medium, reconciling the artistry and artifice with integrity in a way that no 90's boy band or American Idol has yet to do.

Joe Meek : an Ichiban Hero




This documentary was on the Ichiban stream Sunday 2 June 2019. You can listen to the archive here : http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/86214

BED : Tornados - Jungle Fever
Thanks for tuning in to this special edition of the Whig Out, Joe Meek, an Ichiban Hero. Thanks to Richard and Glynis for their support and for letting me sit in today and to my friend Kieron for his helpful advice. I'm going to play some Ichiban favorites that you'll recognize, as well as some tracks that may be new to you. I don't claim to be an expert on Joe Meek, but I'll do my best to tell his story in the next hour.
MUSIC : John Leyton - Johnny Remember Me
BED : Moontrekkers - Night of the Vampire

Why is Joe Meek an Ichiban hero ?
Joe Meek was an English recording engineer and record producer, mainly active in the early 60s. He was a one-man revolution, an outsider and innovator, he did everything his own way, refusing to be controlled by the powerful major labels, producing his own hits and leasing recordings to the majors on his own terms.


Chapter 1 : Recording techniques
When Joe arrived on the scene in the late 50s, the particularly staid British recording establishment, who were still wearing white lab coats, viewed their job as accurately capturing a live performance. Joe had a different perspective, fueled by boundless creative talent and imagination.
He pioneered, in England, techniques literally considered wrong by major British recording studios.
CLIP : Kerridge Lansdowne
When Meek's innovative ideas were rejected at Lansdowne, he quit his job and opened his own studio in an apartment above a London leather-goods shop.
CLIP : Screaming Lord Sutch broom incident
MUSIC : Screaming Lord Sutch & The Savages - She's Fallen In Love With The Monster Man

BED : Cherry Wainer - Cerveza
At 304 Holloway Road, Joe conceived a new way to make hit records with recordings that jumped out of the speakers on crappy radios and record players, creating extraordinary, unique pop recordings that would catch peoples' ears.
CLIP : Jonathan King kick drum recording
Joe Meek was a pioneer in using the recording studio as an instrument, creating sounds without the restrictions of a live performance.
choosing non-standard microphones
close miking
overloading devices and pushing signals into the red for distortion
using massive compression and limiting
taking direct input from the bass
natural echo
tape echo
spring reverb
flanging
overdubbing and layering
speeding up vocals or the whole tape
…not to mention wild sound effects, often using unexpected techniques like repeatedly dropping a toilet chain into an old biscuit tin, which you can hear in this song.
MUSIC : David John & The Mood - Bring It To Jerome

BED : Freddie Starr and the Midnighters - Peter Gunn Locomotion
Ironically, by the time of his death, Joe's recording techniques had become standard for recording rock music. However, his approach frustrated some performers, who weren't able to get the sound of the records when they played live. To record Have I the Right by the Honeycombs, he had people stamp out the beat on the wooden stairs of the studio and recorded that noise with five microphones he had fixed to the banisters with bicycle clips. It reached #1 on the British charts in August 1964 and sold over 2 million copies worldwide.
MUSIC : Honeycombs - Have I the Right

Chapter 2 : Independence, the outsider
BED : Outlaws - Sioux Serenade
Joe kept his independence and control by making his own recordings in his own studio and licensing them to the big labels, so that he profited from their pressing facilities and distribution networks. Because he was making hits, the majors were obliged to work with him, but the relationship remained tense and they considered him a threat.
CLIP : Meek watch them like a hawk
There were UK indie labels in this period but not to the vast extent found in the US at that time. In any case, Joe was targeting the mainstream, much like the bigger indies in the US.
He even started his own label, Triumph, but lack of access to big pressing plants meant that his first potential hit could not be produced rapidly in large quantities, putting the brakes on what might have been a #1 record.
SONG : Michael Cox - Angela Jones

BED : Fabulous Flee-Rakkers - Green Jeans
Johnny Remember Me by John Leyton, which we heard earlier, was another story of Joe's combat with the establishment. BBC radio blacklisted the record, but Meek found a way around them, getting the song performed on a popular TV series. The record hit #1 in the UK in August 1961, sold 500,000 copies and became "Record of the Year".
This made his reputation, as well as Telstar, by the Tornados, which was the first single by a British band to reach number one on the U.S. charts in December 1962. It was written and produced by Joe Meek, and featured his wild production techniques as well as a clavioline, a mutant keyboard instrument.
In 1963 he produced the film "Live it Up" featuring many of his top artists in order to promote their records.
Joe was always an outsider, in terms of business and in terms of production, but also in terms of content. His Tribute To Buddy Holly came from holding seances, Johnny Remember Me concerns the afterlife and connected with the trend in death discs. ‎we'll talk shortly about his sexual politics and in particular the track Do You Come Here Often.
MUSIC : Outlaws - Shake with Me



Chapter 3 : His unique vision and style
BED : Saints - Wipe Out
Joe had an instinctive, commercial ear.
He also had a vision of a market where teenagers were buying records made for them, rather than the boring adult records that dominated sales.
He tried everything, including so-called death discs, poppy ballads, space age pop, girl group sounds, surf, jazz and country. He had a roster of bands that he produced and recorded, including Screaming Lord Sutch, and he did his own A&R.
His innovative recording techniques meant that his records sounded like no one else's.
MUSIC : Neil Christian and the Crusaders - Big Beat Drum

BED : Original Checkmates - the Spy
Fueled by his vision, plus amphetamines, Joe Meek took a manic approach to recording and production. From 1960 to 1966 he produced about 700 recordings. He composed and wrote lyrics for about 250 of them. Between 62 and 65, he released 141 records, 24 of which made the British top 40.
But after his death in 1967, 4,000 more hours of music were salvaged in his studio by Cliff Cooper of the Millionaires, who bought them for 300 pounds sterling.
Joe Meek's records are marked RGM sound recording, for (Robert George Meek),  or Meeksville Sound after his 1964 split with his financial associate "Major" Banks.
MUSIC : Glenda Collins - This Little Girl's Gone Rockin

MUSIC : Danny Rivers and the Rivermen - Movin' In

Chapter 4 : Sexual politics
BED/MUSIC : Tornados - Do You Come Here Often
In the early 60s, homosexuality was still illegal in the UK, as it was, by the way, in almost every state in the US, and persecution and criminal prosecution were very real threats to Joe Meek.
CLIP : Goddard arrest
'Have I the Right?' by the Honeycombs, a summer hit in 1964, can easily be interpreted as a strong statement concerning the suppression of his right to express his sexuality.
CLIP : Pink pressure
Living daily with this oppression, Joe came up with an even more remarkable statement of sexual politics on a Tornados B-side from 1966, which proved that Columbia records literally hadn't listened to what they were putting out - if they had, it would have been instantly rejected.
After a long stretch of an instrumental track, 'Do You Come Here Often?' includes a conversation between two men in a gay bar.
John Savage, in an essay in the Guardian, calls a it a true slice of queer life, and an extraordinary achievement. 

Chapter 5 : Emotional and mental issues, spiritualism and the occult, financial problems, loss of relevance, increasing use of drugs, paranoia
BED : Spooks - The Spook Walks
Joe had always been spooky: obsessed with other worlds, graveyards and spiritualism. He claimed to be in regular contact with Buddy Holly through the spirit world
CLIP : Goddard seance
The forces working against Joe Meek gathered speed. As John Savage puts it, Jekyll overtook Hyde [sic], as his money troubles and declining fame caused him to increase his pill intake and to dabble further in the occult. He was initially slow to recognize the arrival of British beat and the changes in the music market and had to catch up. He was beaten up and his car was vandalized. He was threatened by gangsters who wanted to take over the Tornados' management. His emotional and sexual orientation was illegal. A copyright dispute froze royalties from Telstar. His paranoia seemed increasingly justified.
MUSIC : Millionaires - Wishing Well

BED : Packabeats - Theme From The Traitors
Joe bought out his partner, "Major" Banks, and found himself with huge debts and no financial expertise.
It seems generally agreed that Joe suffered from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. He also abused speed, leaving symptoms of amphetamine psychosis, and took downers as well.
MUSIC : Jason Eddie and The Centremen - Singing The Blues
Joe's long-standing paranoia intensified. He was convinced that competitors were spying on him, he tore off the wallpaper searching for hidden microphones.
CLIP : Sutch bug
There are many stories of violent incidents at the studio, including throwing Tom Jones down the stairs, and I know what you're thinking, that isn't really a bad idea.
CLIP : Clem Cattini Phil Spector
By mid-1966, Joe's mental state was worsening and he was in a downward spiral.
Some people say that he had a progressive loss of relevance with the arrival of British beat, and that he could not adapt to the new bands, which had their own material and their own sound. However, this next set should prove that Joe finally picked up on the trends and was perfectly able to make great beat records while adding his unique touch. We can only guess what he could have potentially achieved.
MUSIC : Paul & Ritchie & The Crying Shames - Come On Back

MUSIC : Buzz - You're Holding Me Down

MUSIC : Blue Rondos - Baby I Go For You

MUSIC : Riot Squad - I Take It That We're Through

MUSIC : Syndicats - Crawdaddy Simone

Chapter 6 Death
BED : Joe Meek & The Blue Men ― Love Dance Of The Saroos
On February 2 1967, Joe Meek burst into a friend's house all dressed in black, saying he was possessed. The next morning, the 18th anniversary of Buddy Holly's death, he blasted his landlady with a shotgun before turning it on himself.
CLIP : Pink shooting
Within a few months, the British law on homosexuality had been struck down and the Telstar copyright trial had finished, releasing most of the royalties.
---
Thanks for listening to Joe Meek, an Ichiban Hero. I'm Jon. Keep it tuned to WFMU's Rock 'n' Soul Ichiban.
