Review: Love and Fury: the Extraordinary Life, Death and Legacy of Joe Meek by Darryl W. Bullock

Joe Meek was an important figure in the history of popular music. As a record producer in the early 1960s he changed the way music was recorded and produced. He also lived quite an unusual life and experienced great highs and lows. Quickly covering his early years, Darryl W Bullock's biography of the man focuses on the last decade or so of the Meek's career which peaked with the world-wide hit single "Telstar" and ended in a horrific murder-suicide. Is this a book for the average reader or more one for the history or music nerds out there?
