Joe Meek's Home Movies

We present a 4 minute excerpt from Joe Meek's home movies. This particular piece was shot at a holiday Caravan in Kent, England, probably during 1962 or 1963. The picture quality of the original movie is actually very good. The Real Player version is not so good. We still feel that you will enjoy this, if for no other reason than seeing Joe for what he usually was: a fun-loving guy who liked to joke around a lot. You won't see the dark, tortured soul that some people have tried to portray him as. If you are the least bit offended, then we suggest you don't watch the video. If this were released as a theatrical movie, it would probably be rated PG or PG-13. We'd like to thank Dave Adams for giving his permission to show this video. You'll be seeing "more" of Dave Adams than you probably would want to. We've also included a gallery of video captures since the Real Player quality isn't so great.

And here's a word or two from Dave Adams:
