The Tornados enjoyed several chart hits in their own right, including the Number One hit "Telstar" (named after the satellite and composed by Meek) which was famously the first Number One hit by a British group in the U.S. For a time, they were considered serious rivals to The Shadows. They were also one of the biggest influences on The Who, and also on the early Pink Floyd. Their next single "Globetrotter" made it to number 5 in the UK singles chart, but when bassist Heinz Burt left in 1963 for a solo career, the group began to fall apart. By 1965, none of the original line-up remained.

The death of Joe Meek in 1967 also meant the end of the Tornados. In 1975, four of the five original members tried an unsuccessful comeback as the New Tornados.

Drummer Clem Cattini often played on recording sessions for other artists and sometimes featured in Cliff Richard's backing bands. He holds the record for appearing on the most UK Number One singles in chart history. Rhythm guitarist George Bellamy is the father of the successful British rock band Muse frontman, Matthew Bellamy.

This is their best track and maybe Joe Meek's finest in this style. The guitar break is sublime! Trance / Dance / House music of it's time..... CLASS!

I think a lot of the music from the club era such as Slash Alice DJ was influenced by the tornados sound and especially this track

Back in the day (1961?)I was a Tornados fan from hearing this on fading radio Luxembourg bought all their singles and most of their LPs. Fast forward 55 odd years who's playing at my daughter's wedding George Bellamy and "Lyrics" small world lol

I had USA Telstar album when I was 10 yrs old. I lost it many years ago. I have not heard this favorite in over 40 years. Thank you for placing it on here. I thought no one would ever remember the Thunder birds. I'm glad I was wrong. Many memories with this music.

" Joe Meek decided that the backing band should make their first record, which would stake their claim as challengers to The Shadows. In tribute to Billy (Fury), Joe wrote Love And Fury, and named the backing group The Tornados, from a line in a John Leyton B-side. (Line-up 1) George Bellamy (rhythm guitar), Heinz Burt (bass guitar), Alan Caddy (lead guitar), Clem Cattini (drums), Norman Hale (organ, not in tour group, added for Love And Fury)." From Billy Fury - The Story

This could've been the blueprint for Telstar but imo it stands alone on its own merit. Too complex to be a hit at the time but that fade out is genius.

I think all the others are on it. Telstar also featured a largely uncredited Geoff Goddard on clavioline. In fact, Roger's organ performance - which was shown on their filmed performances - is barely audible on the record. It's Geoff's clavioline that forms the centre of the number. But I guess that's showbiz. Whether Geoff and/or the clavioline are on THIS piece, I know not. Anyone?

@IStillLoveLucy111 Interesting. I knew Roger in the Seventies, but for some reason, we never talked about the BAND (I must have been BARMY!) Anyhoo, "Love And Fury" was - as far as I know - their first single. "Telstar" was their second. I'm sure Roger was on THAT one - but Wiki says you're RIGHT: Norman Hale was INDEED keyboardist on "Love And Fury". So I've amended the info panel accordingly. Thanks.

Does anyone know which organ was used on this recording? It doesn't sound like a Clavioline or a Univox. Reminds me of the organ sound used in the Cryin' Shames' Please Stay.
