I LOVE this song! Her voice reminds me of Karen Carpenter's... very rich, low and soulful, which is a beautiful counterpoint to the childlike and lighthearted organ. I love how the song tells several different love stories, each representing different outcomes-- maybe expressing different aspects of herself. It's a surprising and fun song! I want to cover it 💜💗💖💗💜
This was never going to be a hit. After all, it was a b-side - and 60s b-sides were recorded in about 20 minutes to give the producer a songwriting share in the 45's sales. But I love this. I first heard "Hey There Stranger" over 20 years ago on a Joe Meek compilation CD, and it's stayed with me ever since. I've heard a lot of music from 1963, and pretty much most of it was completely formulaic. This isn't. The chords are odd, the vocals are roughly double tracked, the organ is wonky and the lyrics...by god, the lyrics. You didn't get this stuff anywhere else in '63, and it's why people still listen to Joe Meek productions now.
Funny story, this randon lady started to talk to me while I was at work telling me her life story (I wasn’t really paying attention) Thought she was crazy to be honest but looked her up when got back in work van, And was amazed that she had this crazy History and met some massive names in the business, so went back to her and asked about herself she’s in a 70s now, was drinking from a bottle of wine on the street not the full ticket bless her, but still a lovely lady Lives in Dagenham

One of Joe Meek's girls. Bizarre and beautiful!
Not the most brilliant Meek production but I quite enjoy this record. It has a certain charm and haunting quality to it.
This is it!

The most mysterious of Meek's girls, whatever happened to Miss Blue ?

I wonder what happened to her? She gave up her factory job when she got her "big break". Where is she now?

@@user-oi5yz2mj6u And it was Pamela Blue??
@@user-oi5yz2mj6u Same experience here! Pamela roams Dagenham Heathway. She loves a chat.
I think I saw Pamela in the audience during an episode of "The Price is Right" in 1995 or 1996.
Did the tornados back her on the record
YES
Duke warm I know her
really?
@Christine Fowler - is this true? Many fans would love to know what became of Pamela Blue! Does she know how many fans she has?
She is my mum ❤
very simple and basic sounds more like a demo
You are obviously hearing-impaired.
Fuck me it’s Myra Hindley.
Yeah, because her haircut made Myra Hindley what she was.
dull monotone vocal,rather disappointing stylophone style ,dismal
hush baby byebye
Minimally controlled sentence construction, rapid dismissal, broaden your exposure.
This was 1963- what do you expect? So many new sounds at that time. Wonderful period for popular music.
So what you're saying is that you think it's as dead as the flies on the wall?
