The credits on the Actually sleeve read "Thanks to Spike, Bobby O and Mike Neilson."

I know who Bobby O is, but who are Spike and Mike Neilson?

Anyone know?

(great album by the way - listened to it today from beginning to end for the first time in years)

Spike is Mark Stent, isn't it? He's an engineer.

Brilliant album, I agree

I think Spike in this case refers to Mike 'Spike' Drake, an engineer often working with Stephen Hague. I think Mark Stent only came into the picture at a later time. I could well be wrong, though.

by far their best album.

An album that got them many new fans...
I agree though, it still is a great album with some of their best tracks!
