NEAT
A prominent New Wave Of British Heavy Metal label. Neat was
based in Newcastle and was owned initially by David Wood. It is
probably best known among non-aficionados of NWOBHM for its records by Venom,
though it issued the first single by the Tygers Of Pan Tang, who went on to sign
to major label MCA. Most of Neat's 40-odd singles and 50-odd LPs were
released after the '70s, but its first three singles appeared in
1979. Numbering was in the NEAT-00s. A singles discography
can be found at The Corroseum's site, here. Thanks
to Robert Bowes for providing the scan and for bringing the label to my attention.
