STRIKE
RECORDS
Independent label: Strike Records was started by Tony
Jacks and Carole Striker. Its busy period was from 1978-81, during
which period it issued several singles and an LP, all by Jacks or his Mod / Ska
band The Tigers; a band which featured at various times Nic Potter, ex Van Der
Graaf Generator, and Pete Dobson, formerly with Juicy Lucy. The second
single by the band, 'Big Expense, Small Income' b/w 'Kidding Stops' (STIK-2;
1979) was flipped and reissued by WEA as KIK-1 after that company signed the
band, and the KIK-0 series was adopted from then on. The Tigers
concentrated their efforts on the USA for much of the 1980, and Strike mainly
lay dormant; it woke up in 1987, when an altered Tigers line-up released another
LP on it, as The Pool Sharks. Distributed By Rough Trade Records. Thanks to
