strike records

...not only is this a good account of a small independent '60s record label its also a nice snapshot of what was happening clubwise in old albion away from some of the elitist london town watering holes that required some sort of bank account to get in to sip overpriced under proofed scotch...mersey beat and club pop soul rub shoulders with proto freakbeat thud...session musos get busy mixing up some big beat pop hoping to score that HIT sound...some yanquee style east coast blue eyed soul drop by to brighten up the day with youthful chanting looking to get the kids dancing...some right-on soul shouting takes the listener down to smokey dimly lit basements where everything is once removed from the daily grind...its like listening to pirate radio(except better because that was mostly in the hands of big companies peddling their wares)where the whole thing comes on like a nightclub for out-of-town groovers...
...get it here...
