Telstar - The Mad Genius Of Joe Meek
Joe Meek Introduction Apparently, the first song that I ever liked according to my uncle Trevor was "Hound Dog" by Elvis Presley, I was three at the time and a picture was taken of me with curly blonde hair but I have not been able to track it down, though my sister Yvonne has all our old photographs which I have scanned, but that one is sadly missing.

The Great Rock N' Roll Swindle
"You ever get the feeling you've been cheated?" John Lydon (1978) The Great Rock N' Roll Swindle is a rather poor product put together by Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren to cash in on the waning success of his musical enterprise, the rather nauseating and overrated band The Sex Pistols, who left a grim, ugly legacy behind them in the form of musical dissolution, disaster, and even murder. Nothing is inspiring or even funny about the Pistols or their legacy, so it is curious that this movie is a kind of obnoxious, dribbling-in-your-ear uncle telling the same grotesque, dirty joke over and over again at a party. Perhaps drunk with a lampshade or a pair of bondage knickers on his head. Grotesque it is.
