The Hit Parade

Pick Of The Pops (Vol. 1)

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.
