Lone Rider: The Holloway Road Sessions 1960-1962

Moving seamlessly between TV and film studios and the recording studio, John Leyton cut a series of masterful pop singles during the early 1960's, often tied in to his on-screen work. Embellished by Joe Meek's inventive production and the writing talents of Geoff Goddard and others, he quickly became a firm favourite on the pop scene, complete with his 'lonely' outsider image. 'Lone Rider' brings together the highlights of John's recordings found among Meek's legendary Tea Chest Tapes. From early and alternate versions of well-known hits, never-before-heard stereo masters (including the entire 'Two Sides of John Leyton' album), demos, session outtakes, instrumentals, rehearsals and a number of previously unknown songs, this is another remarkable window into the world of Joe Meek's independent home studio, situated in a first floor flat on North London's Holloway Road.
