  • Our version of Telstar, posted on 2 October 2022 to celebrate 60 years since it was No. 1 in the charts. The accompanying video is also celebrating 57 years since the first episode of Thunderbirds aired on 30 September 1965.
    Enjoy!

    I've always loved the song Telstar. I've always loved the Thunderbirds.
    I didn't know that they performed that song on that show until now.
    Thanks 😊

      They didn't. The footage is from the first film and that's 'Cliff Richard Jr' performing a song called 'Shooting Star'.

    What a flash back ! I remember watching the Thunderbirds when I just a very young kid ! & I remember Telstar by The Tornados as well ! & yes I was very young , & it all seemed futuristic , & bright as a child the Mercury space program ,satellites , Jet travel , Turbo Charged automobiles , & a month later in Nov. We as nation went dark with the assassination John F. Kennedy ! & IMHO the future didn't seem so bright as I stood in line with my mother , & brothers & sisters to view his flag draped coffin at the capital rotunda in the early morning before daylight ! & it was literally a cold day in hell ! & as a 5 year old I remember this all to well ! We had lost our innocence as a nation . As I reflect on this instrumental it does stir allot of memories of my child hood growing up in America !

If you like Joe Meek, we have a free download of our interpretation of Joe Meek’s “I hear a new world” (called The Joe Meek Project) on our website www.iamseeingdots.co.uk/music we’ve added a few extra tunes in there including an original tune and some covers from other artists that we thought were in keeping with the music :)

    The leader of the group (the guy in the blue suit) is a dead ringer for the late American actor Glenn Corbett, who had replaced George Maharis on Route 66. I also like how the chauffeur looks like he’s asleep while on the job at the beginning of the video.
