From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
