Telstar

by Pete Christy

Composed by: Joe Meek

Originally performed by The Tornadoes

One of my all-time favourite tunes, though I'm not sure I do it justice. The music was worked out on a small Yamaha Portasound keyboard, then transcribed into AMPLE. Not a sheet of music in sight!

The lead instrument isn't quite right. Not quite raucous or hollow enough. Also there is a slight timing hiccup on the mix changes to and from the chorus. If you can improve it, feel free, but tell me how!
