hi,

has anyone got a list of the soul 45s worth collecting on the us hit label,

i know there's a couple of herbert hunter 45s plus a jenny & the jewels,

there must be a few more,

i think it was a cheap lable like the embassy lable in the uk which had something to do with woolworths,

thanks,

joe.

There's an excellent site about the Hit Records label which at least contains an extensive discography:

Leroy Jones - Baby Don't You Do It is a very good cover of the Marvin Gaye track. I prefer it to the original.

Also, a track titled Someday is pretty good - a male vocal, can't remember who it's by offhand.

HIT was Ted Jarret's Budget label, in Nashville, pushing out soundalike 'Top Ten Tunes' for 39 cents!

As well as Herbert Hunter, you'll find records by Benny Lattimore (Snap Your Fingers), Peggy Gaines (Playboy, Gravy and Every Little Bit Hurts, ), Georgettes (Quicksand) on there.

I've got quite a few, but there are complete label freaks out there for this prolific label!

"Someday" is Leroy Jones,one of the few non cover tracks on the label.

I'm not helping with the question but thought a sleeve shot would be good. These came in many different colours.

Bobby Brooks - Wise like Soloman (sic) is quite a nice track on Hit.

Interestingly, the Leroy Jones "Someday" is actually the Thomas Henry track (released on Spar) under a false name!

I've collected a lot on this label over the years, they were closely related to the Spar & Top Pop labels & had a variety of releases in many different styles. A notable thing is that a fair few are amongst the earliest commercially available true stereo 45 pressings. Sam Moore's first 45 was on the label. Many of the names were generic, so it may not even be the same singer or band on a records which are listed as being by the same artist. Lot's of Beatles sound a likes of varying degrees of competency. Some nice soul & girl group styled stuff though. Also some surprisingly good garagey versions of the Stones, Count Five, Mitch Ryder etc.
