the brief partnership between robert stigwood associates and joe meek is claimed to have changed the british recording industry to a great extent. meek is credited as the first producer in the uk who had the knowledge to undertake every stage of the record production chain himself. he then usually offered a completed tape product to an established record company to manufacture and distribute. a poor business decision had meant that "angela jones" by michael cox, released on his own triumph label, could not be manufactured in sufficient quantities to meet demand after cox performed the song on a popular tv music show. while the record did make an appearance in the top ten, it proved that meek needed the support of a major record company.
