2 New Hit and Run 45 Releases - Feb 2025

Here we go with 2 new releases - just in from the plant and Quality Control completed.

No price increase on the vinyl or the postage (despite twice a year Royal Mail increases)

£15 each + £3 UK postage (good for 1-3 records)

HR 1560 HERMON HITSON : A - Walking In The Park

                                                 B1 - Love Slipped Through My Fingers        B2 - Why Not Me

Our A side is an edited version, minus the bluesy guitar, which sharpens it up for the dance floor. Pretty elusive on the 1976 US Lisa label, last sold on Discogs almost 4 years ago now.

Our B side firstly contains the CD only and never on vinyl unreleased cut of the Sam Williams classic - plenty comment out there as their respective merits ..... plus a BONUS TRACK - a copy of this sold last week on a carver for £200 and was described as 'simply one of the best Northern soul crossover dancers of all time'.

According to Soul Source, an acetate was sold in 2011 for £1,500; our master was dubbed from an original Johnny Brantley acetate, but not that acetate... and carefully remastered. '

Those that have heard this out will testify to this being one of his greatest records, his killer soulful vocals, great guitar work, a legendary crossover masterpiece.

'So much better than the released version by Freddie Terrell, which in itself is pretty great. This is phenomenal'.

Comments taken from soul platforms, not mine.

HR 1561 THE JADES : A - Lucky Fellow . B1 - And Now / B2 - So Proud I Found You

New Orleans male vocal trio, also recorded as The Enticers; US release on Mode seems to have now hit £1,000 - helped I'm sure by the big in-demand West Coast Lowrider flip 'And Now'; added here is a bonus track from the New Orleans Scram label, previously unreleased other than a 1997 compilation CD.

Still at £15 each + £3 UK postage (good for 1-3 records); please paypal as friends to - hitandrunsoul45@gmail.com

I've a feeling the promos will be popular on these two, so if interested please PM me to check availability..
