A side of the Tornados final single released in August 1966, just days after England had won the World Cup. It was Joe Meek's tribute to the pirate radio stations which were proliferating at the time.
Another single was lined up for release in 1967, entitled \"No more you and me\". It was to have been the first Tornados vocal A side. The recording company weren't willing to release it, stating that the Tornados were always an instrumental group. But at that time Joe Meek blew his head off with a single barrel shotgun and so there were no more recordings from any of his artists.
The Tornados continued performing until September 1967 to honour bookings already made, but once these were fulfilled the Holder brothers left. The remaining Tornados continued as a four man group with one replacement on bass and with Robb Huxley switching to lead guitar. At the end of 1967 drummer John Davis left. Dave Watts and Robb Huxley recruited a replacement drummer and went on a month's tour of Israel. On February 3rd 1968, one year to the day since Joe Meek killed himself, they disbanded.
The \"Original Tornados\", except Alan Caddy, got together once again in 1975, and under that name issued a single \"Telstar / Red Rocket\". This Telstar was a reworking of the original. Red Rocket had been written in 1963 but not released at that time.
