The Tornados - The Original Telstar – The Sounds Of The Tornadoes (1962)
Tracklist front / back album covers
The Tornados (in North America: The Tornadoes) were an English instrumental group of the 1960s that acted as backing group for many of record producer Joe Meek's productions and also for singer Billy Fury. They enjoyed several chart hits in their own right, including the UK and U.S. No. 1 "Telstar" (named after the satellite and composed and produced by Meek), the first U.S. No. 1 single by a British group. Today Dave Watts has his own version.
