The Tornados
Love and Fury - The Holloway Road Sessions (5CD boxed set)

Between 1962 and 1966, The Tornados were mainstays of Joe Meek’s production line studio at 304 Holloway Road.
From the global smash hit Telstar through to later period vocal tracks, the band’s remarkable musicianship and Meek’s inspired production techniques produced track after track of excellent and innovative recordings, resulting in a number of hits and near misses around the world.
Expertly curated, Love And Fury showcases the very best of The Tornados’ material found in Joe Meek’s mythical Tea Chest Tapes archive.
Featuring familiar hits, often heard at their original speed prior to Meek’s speeding up process, and unfamiliar rarities and curios, spread across 131 tracks presented in previously unheard pristine sonic clarity worthy of the Meek name.
This is not only a treasure trove for fans of The Tornados and Joe Meek, but also for students of British recording history.
A plethora of demos, backing tracks and alternate versions also shed light on the working methods at 304 Holloway Road, and give an insight into the production line pop scene process unavailable anywhere else.
