On July 10, 1984 Gordon was sentenced to 16 years to life in prison. While first eligible for parole in 1992, he was denied several times. At a 2005 hearing he claimed his mother was still alive. In 2014, he declined to attend his hearing, and was denied parole until at least 2018. A Los Angeles deputy district attorney stated at the hearing that he was still “seriously psychologically incapacitated” and “a danger when he is not taking his medication”. As of 2015, he is serving his sentence at the California Medical Facility, a specialist medical and psychiatric prison in Vacaville, California.

Joe Meek could produce this band – he suffered from some kind of mental illness for sure, thought he was being spied upon and apparently was obsessed with trying to communicate with the dead. He murdered his landlady and then committed suicide. Troubled guy.

I hope this isn’t too off thread, but with a drummer like Jim Capaldi, why did Traffic have Jim Gordon play on Low Spark?
