Glenda Collins - The Single Sessions, Pt. 1 (from the legendary Tea Chest Tapes) (2023) [Hi-Res]

Following a trio of singles for Decca, Glenda Collins found a home at Joe Meek’s legendary studio at 304 Holloway Road, where the two produced eight brilliant singles together alongside a large cache of material destined to remain unreleased until now.

Having acquired and restored the Tea Chest Tape archive, we present the first in-depth exploration of Glenda’s work, including alternate versions and session tracks from those eight singles and a wealth of previously unheard recordings. Featuring material for an abandoned collaboration album with The Riot Squad, many of Meek’s own home demos, backing tracks and guide vocals, ‘Baby It Hurts’ showcases one of the great should-have-beens of Meek’s career, and one of the most remarkable voices he ever captured on tape.
