 | quote = "[[Pete Townshend|Pete]] always hated Kit's production. Some of the mixes Kit did were terrible. He was always a bit bass-light, which used to upset [[John Entwistle|John]], but recording circumstances were different in those days...[and] we didn't have a lot to play with. But Kit was incredibly adventurous. He'd fly in, throw everything at the wall, tear it down and rebuild it. We'd do layers and layers. We'd do [[Harmony|harmonies]] all over the place, building them up by bouncing one track onto another, on those three-tracks. This allowed us to get the backing vocal harmonies sounding like we were a 12-piece vocal group."

In 1967, Lambert and Stamp established their own independent record label, [[Track Records]], one of the first of its kind, signing up various new artists, including [[Jimi Hendrix]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/aug/08/jimi-hendrix-40th-anniversary-death |title=Jimi Hendrix – You Never Told Me He was That Good |last1=Vulliamy|first1=Ed|year=2010|newspaper=The Observer|access-date=28 January 2017}}</ref><ref>The Jimi Hendrix Experience, ''Live at Monterey'' DVD</ref> [[Arthur Brown (musician)|Arthur Brown]] (producing his No. 1 single, "[[Fire (Arthur Brown song)|Fire]]", and parent studio album ''[[The Crazy World of Arthur Brown (album)|The Crazy World of Arthur Brown]]'' in 1968), [[Thunderclap Newman]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.simonnapierbell.com/kit_lambert.html|title=Simon Napier-Bell|website=Simonnapierbell.com|access-date=7 March 2023}}</ref> [[John Lennon]] and [[Yoko Ono]], and [[Golden Earring]]. In 1968, they set up offices in New York and signed [[Labelle]], whose eponymous debut studio album ''[[Labelle (album)|Labelle]]'', Lambert produced, and [[the Parliaments]]. The label initially proved very lucrative for the duo but due to fiscal mismanagement and ongoing conflicts with the Who it soon fell into debt and was dissolved in 1978.
