Plus re-recordings including Telstar, Robot and Globetrotter.Secret Records are releasing a double CD of original tracks, re-recordings and new Sci-fi covers by The Tornados. Created by seminal record producer Joe Meek as his studio session group, The Tornados original and most famous line-up consisted of Alan Caddy (guitar), Clem Cattini (drums), Heinz Burt (bass), George Bellamy (rhythm guitar) and Roger LaVern (keyboards). Their instrumental material was composed and produced by Meek, and frequently had a futuristic sound which reflected Meek's interest in electronics and sound manipulation. Although their first single "Love And Fury" bombed, they later enjoyed several chart hits in their own right. The follow-up "Telstar" became a number one hit in both the UK and USA making them the first British group ever to top the US Hot Hundred, and the only serious rivals to The Shadows.
