Neat Records
Encyclopedia
Neat Records was a record label based near Newcastle
, England
. The label was established in 1979 by David Wood, who was the owner of Impulse Studios in Wallsend
, Tyne and Wear
, England. The establishment of Neat coincided with the arrival at Impulse of Songwriter/Producer Steve Thompson who guided the early direction of the label and also set up a music publishing venture "Neat Music". The early output of Neat was produced by Steve Thompson, assisted by and sometimes co-produced with engineer, Mickie Sweenie. When Thompson departed to pursue his songwriting ambitions he recommended local songwriter/musician Keith Nichol to take up duties behind the mixing desk. The label was sold in 1995 by its then owner, the former Tygers of Pan Tang
vocalist Jess Cox, to Sanctuary Records
.
Neat Records was arguably the most instrumental label in the revival of heavy metal in the early 80s in the UK. The movement was known as the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal
or NWOBHM for short. The label is most notorious for the early releases of Newcastle band Venom
who are widely credited with the invention of black metal
. While none of Neat Records' acts really broke through to the mainstream themselves, Venom, Raven
, Blitzkrieg
and Jaguar
particularly are acknowledged as major influences on a host of major American thrash metal
bands such as Metallica
, Megadeth
and Anthrax
. In fact Metallica have even covered Blitzkrieg's self-titled song "Blitzkrieg" and Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich
has claimed "Whiplash
" to be a deliberate attempt to emulate Jaguar's song "Stormchild".
Other notable acts to release music through Neat Records include White Spirit
(notable as the then current band of Iron Maiden
guitarist Janick Gers
) and Persian Risk
(notable as the original band of current Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell
).
