          Hit Parade

          Plastic Culture - 2024 Reissue

          Crass Records

            Hit Parade was a one-man anarchist band, the brainchild of Dave Hyndman (aka P. Checkoff and Rik O’che) a member of the Anarchist Collective in Belfast. Being a left-wing socialist, Checkoff’s songs were highly political by nature and concentrated on life in Northern Ireland. Subject matter ranged from the evils of television to H Blocks; the RUC to housing problems, and of course unemployment.

            Penny continues; “Hit Parade was one troubled man’s attempt to deal with and describe the ‘troubles’ that surrounded him in Belfast where he lived with family, friends and comrades. In the seventies and eighties, divided Ireland was never far from the distortions of the UK’s daily headlines, all of which toeing the predictable Protestant party line. Meanwhile, Hit Parade had to suffer the daily indignities of military oppression and religious bigotry. Shouting out from a wilderness of human stupidity, Hit Parade looked to put the record straight from the trenches; one man’s voice touching the multitude. Listen and learn. It’s still going on and on and on…”

            Penny finally notes that “Our (Crass’) interest was never in personalities, profits or power, and neither did we have time for reformist liberals. Our position was solidly revolutionary; we took no prisoners. Ours wasn’t a show, it was a battle, not a living, but a lifestyle, a lifestyle with a difference – rather than looking only to ourselves, we sought to share our gains. I feel that this willingness added great strength to the form of anarchism that we practiced both on stage and out on the street.”

            In giving a platform to an impressive array of other bands, Crass Records broadened the front of what popularly became known as anarcho-punk. Not, it must be said, a moniker that Crass themselves much favoured. In this respect, Crass’ classic line, “There is no authority but yourself”, makes its point. Crass sought to empower others, and the output of Crass Records does much to confirm this, while ‘2 By 2 And Back Again’ seems to nail it – “get out of your own way, we’re all in this together”.

              We Are Vinyl

                2022 marks the 30th Anniversary of the original Hit Parade single releases, where The Wedding Present released a limited edition 7” single every month throughout 1992 with each making the UK Top 30, equalling the then record of Most UK Top 30 Hits in a year set by Elvis. An original Gedge composition on the a-side of each single was accompanied by a cover version on the b-side encompassing a wide range of artists from Neil Young and The Go-Betweens to Isaac Hayes and Elton John.

                We are releasing a 2LP vinyl set collecting together the A and B-Sides of all 12 of the 7” singles. The vinyl package also includes CDs of all 24 tracks. The newly configured artwork drawing on the original 7” sleeves has been put together by Hitch, the original designer, and the whole project has been overseen by the band’s leader David Gedge. In addition to the 2LP release we will also be releasing an updated version of the 2CD product with the new artwork.

                The Golden Age Of Pop

                JSH

                  'The Golden Age Of Pop' contains 12 bright new pop songs including recent 45rpm single releases "Joey's Girl" and "Happy World".

                  The vinyl pressing comes with a limited edition free comic "Tales From Planet Pop" by illustrator Paul McCaffrey.

                  It's the true story of a "Pop Group Doomed To A Life of Obscurity", that follows the early years of the band. Over the last twenty years The Hit Parade's catalogue of songs have been heralded as "perfect pop" (NME) "indie icons" (Word) "casually sophisticated" (Observer) "rare talent" (Q Mag) "bona fide pop smash" (Drowned In Sound) and "the very definition of twee Eighties style indie" (Arts Desk).

                    One of the UK's most obscure but dearly-cherished indie bands THE HIT PARADE release their twelfth single on 7" vinyl on JSH RECORDS on 1st December 2017. "Oh Honey I..." is a new song, a three minute pop lament to 1961 classic British film "A Taste of Honey" recorded in lo-fi mono and produced by R G Watts. The B-Side "History of Art" is another new song, an imagined portrait of British novelist Elizabeth Jane Howard (1923-2014) in later life.

                    Pick Of The Pops (Vol. 1)

                    JSH

                      A swish new compilation CD, featuring twenty of the most memorable songs in the career of the top notch indie band The Hit Parade.

                      Optimistically entitled 'Pick Of The Pops (Vol1)' the new CD represents the most poignant moments in the colourful life of The Hit Parade, and includes their thoughtful recording for Sarah Records "In Gunnersbury Park", their tub thumping single for Minty Fresh USA "Hitomi" as well as other singles, both cheerful and desolate in style, that feature Cath Carroll (Factory Records), Amelia Fletcher (Heavenly and Tallulah Gosh) and Harvey Williams (Another Sunny Day and The Field Mice).

                      The Hit Parade is the nom de guerre of Julian Henry, who formed this band with his school friends Matt Moffatt and Raymond Watts in 1984. In refusing to acknowledge the passing of time, they have clung to the sensibilities of pure pop with impressive tenacity and have earned the begrudging respect of the London and Los Angeles indie world as the last remaining flag bearers of the twee and the C86 music scene; their first singles in the 1980s were lauded by John Peel, the NME and Melody Maker. In the 1990s the band toured alongside Sarah Records notables and signed to Japanese and US labels, releasing a sequence of albums that have been unavailable on CD for over fifteen years. More recently, their last two 7" vinyl single releases were declared 'a bona fide smash' and 'one of the best singles of 2010' by Drowned In Sound.
