Record Store Day 2019

Formed in 1983 in London, The Hit Parade is an iconic band founded by former postman Julian Henry and Raymond Watts. They established their own JSH Records label to release their music. With guest appearances from Cath Carroll of Miaow and Amelia Fletcher of Talulah Gosh, Heavenly, and Marine Research, The Hit Parade has created a unique sound that resonates with fans worldwide.

The Hit Parade was brought together by Julian Henry, a former postman who had a passion for music. In 1983, he formed the band in London alongside Raymond Watts. Together, they embarked on a musical journey that would leave a lasting impact on the industry.

To showcase their talent and creativity, The Hit Parade founded their own record label called JSH Records. This allowed them to have full control over their releases and maintain artistic integrity throughout their career.

This is a Record Store Day 2019 item. It will be available to purchase from our stores from 8am 13th April. Remaining stock will be available to purchase from this page at 00.01 20th April.

One of the UK's most dearly cherished indie bands The Hit Parade releases a new single on 7" vinyl for Record Store Day 2019. Joey's Girl tells the imagined story of the Ramones guitarist Johnny Ramone, who famously fell in love with the girlfriend of the band's singer Joey Ramone's in the 1970s. The song is recorded in lo-fi mono, is produced by R G Watts and will be available in all good record stores in a limited edition pressing of 1,000 copies. The B-Side I'm Recovering From You is a new song about living with a wild and untameable best friend.

The Hit Parade was formed by three school friends in 1984. They have released six albums and 13 singles since and built a small but determined following amongst record fans in London, Los Angeles, Tokyo, New York, Stockholm and Penzance. After touring Japan in the 1990s (with Thee Milkshakes and Edwyn Collins), the Hit Parade went into a period of hibernation although their 2013 single I Like Bubblegum was heralded one of the best singles of the year by Drowned In Sound. Like other Hit Parade 7" vinyl singles, Joey's Girl is cut by hand, written and recorded at home and sold in a limited edition. A new Hit Parade LP is hoped for in 2019.
