Charles Blackwell

Joe Meek–produced recording artist John Leyton performs hit singles ‘Wild Wind’ and ‘Son, This is She’ and introduces Iain Gregory, who performs ’Can’t You Hear the Beat of a Broken Heart’. They are backed by Charles Blackwell and his orchestra.

This documentary chronicles the rise, fall and resurrection of Joe Meek. It shows, due in equal measures to his pioneering DIY recording techniques, hit-making philosophy and a life full of social, psychological and sexual obstacles.
