Ron Henderson and Choice of Color Review by Alison

The Kent label has had a long and happy relationship with Old Town Records and its subsidiary Barry. The first recordings we put out was the wildly named “Think Smart Soul Stirrers: Jerk It At The Party In Chinatown” Various Artists LP. A contender and probable winner for any “Let’s see how many track titles we can get into an album name” contest.

However the club was soon forced to move on to West Hampstead where it stayed for just over a year, and then wandered around the West End for occasional dances, before settling on the 100 Club in Oxford Street, where it remains even now.
