Hmmn 'That’s Nice'! No not Jazz Man from the Fast Show, but Neil Christians top 20 hit in 1966 which was the first release on the then new STRIKE Records label. This was the outlet for Millwick Productions, a company leasing their production masters to other labels for release, such as The Sorrows to PYE. STRIKE and its spin off subsidiary imprint GO only lasted from 1966-1968 but in that time released a terrific cross section of singles that embraced the full spectrum of the mid 60's UK pop scene : Brit Girls Jackie Bond and Samantha Juste, soul legends Carl Douglas and JJ Jackson, garage beat from the Washington DCs and the Drag Set, folk rock from Roy Harper, and beat pop from Neil Christian and Miki Dallon. Miki Dallon as well as being a sometime artist was in also the man in the Producers Chair who steered the labels and their upbeat sounds. Plenty for the collectors to get their teeth into here, plenty for the 60's music lovers to equally lose themselves in. Like our Planet Records compilation 75% of these recordings have never been reissued and are most eagerly awaited by collectors. After STRIKE folded Dallon continued producing for his own label Youngblood which grew out of the ashes of STRIKE. His first artist being Don Fardon, lead singer with the Sorrows.
