Quote from: Trainfish on October 14, 2024, 08:56:15 PMI of course had to google Telstar due to my age and found that I was minus 2 when it was produced  :goggleeyes:

Ha ha, you old git! I was merely minus 6.

Same here - in fact the only version I'd heard previously was a cover that The Shadows did nearly 20 years later.

Still a great tune though, whatever the performers.

Sadly there is a tragic backstory to Telstar and the Tornadoes involving a failed copyright lawsuit, a murder and a suicide.

Heinz the German born bassist also had a rough time and died young.
