THE TORNADOS - TELSTAR THE COMPLETE TORNADOS (2 CD 1962-1966) [Instrumental Rock & Roll]

CD To Mp3 128 mbit/s

Included: Covers and this Info



Fifty-five Tornados tracks on two CDs may be 53 more than most casual listeners need, but this double-disc set justifies
itself in the listening. To most Americans, and even most Britons, the Tornados were one-hit wonders, responsible for
"Telstar" and not much else, but as this set shows, they did come up with some cool sounds and tunes under the
guidance of producer/manager Joe Meek. "Robot" is nearly as pretty a tune as "Telstar" (it also
charted in England at No. 17), and it sounds fresh, as something not nearly as widely heard for 36 years; "Life On
Venus," the B-side, is a very close second, almost a "son of Telstar." "Ice Cream Man" was
another British chart single, and offers the spectacle of Meek and the Tornados applying a Bo Diddley beat to their
trademark sound. Other highlights include lots of television themes, both material for actual use on the air and the
group's covers of such as material as "Stringray" and "Aqua Marina" from the sci-fi kids' show
Stringray. The material extends right into 1964 and the band's attempts to compete in the area of vocal records, when it
became clear that the public wasn't too interested in instrumental rock & roll anymore. The annotation includes a
beautifully detailed essay by Chris Welch, with extensive interview material on drummer Clem Cattini (the
longest-tenured member of the Tornados) and Cattini's recollections on each of the tracks here. In the end, there's more
to the Tornados' sound and history than most of us knew, all revealed here. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide



The Tornados:

The first British group to top the American charts, the Tornados are best remembered for their ethereal organ-dominated
instumental "Telstar".

The band were London-based session musicians who were assembled by the legendary, maverick producer Joe Meek in 1961 as
a deliberate challenge to The Shadows. They also worked as a backing-band for solo singers John Leyton, Don Charles and
Michael Cox.

In 1962, while working as Billy Fury's backing group, they made their first recording "Love And Fury". That
failed but the Meek-penned follow-up "Telstar" - inspired by watching the first live television pictures
transmitted via the Telstar satellite - was an international hit. The record was the first by a British group to top the
American charts and went on to sell five million copies worldwide.

Heinz Burt left for a solo career in 1963 but The Tornados carried on despite dwindling sales figures until '66, when
the group disbanded and the members all returned to session work. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide



The Tornados (in the U.S. they were credited as The Tornadoes) were an English instrumental group of the 1960s who acted
as in-house backing group for many of record producer Joe Meek's productions.



The Tornados also enjoyed several chart hits in their own right, including the US Number One "Telstar" (named
after the satellite and composed by Meek). It was the first US #1 by a British group. Since World War II only three
British records had topped the US charts: "Auf Wiederseh'n Sweetheart" by Vera Lynn in 1952, "Stranger on
the Shore" by Acker Bilk in May of 1962, and "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" by Laurie London in
1958.



For a time the Tornados were considered serious rivals to The Shadows. Their single "Globetrotter" made it to
number 5 in the UK Singles Chart but when bassist Heinz Burt left in 1963 for a solo career the group began to fall
apart. By 1965 none of the original lineup remained. Later lineups were therefore credited as Tornados '65 and The New
Tornados.



A scopitone film (an early form of music video) was made for their chart hit "Robot" featuring members of the
group walking around woodland dressed in appropriate headgear with their guitars, flirting with various young women and
being finally arrested by policemen after lighting a campfire.



After drummer and bandleader Clem Cattini left the Tornados in 1965 he became a successful session musician, playing on
recording sessions for other artists, and was featured in Cliff Richard's backing bands. He holds the record for
appearing the most times on UK #1 singles.



Rhythm guitarist George Bellamy is the father of Matthew Bellamy, frontman for British rock band Muse. The introduction
in "Knights Of Cydonia" by Muse is very similar to that of "Telstar". In 1975 four of the five
original members tried an unsuccessful comeback as the Original Tornados.
