They are a treasure trove of nearly 1,900 quarter-inch tapes recorded by legendary London-based producer and engineer Joe Meek, they contain some of the biggest names in classic rock.

Legendary UK producer Joe Meek left behind nearly 1,900 tapes when he committed suicide in the 1960s. After sitting in storage for 50-plus years, the 'lost' tapes are being digitized in a mammoth 18-month project, saving unheard early work by David Bowie, Ray Davies, Ritchie Blackmore, Marc Bolan, Steve Marriott, Gene Vincent and more.
