| | Hit of the Week Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Hit of the Week Records was a record label based in the United States of America in the early 1930s. | | | Also unusual, "Hit of the Week"s were pressed with music on only one side of the disc, a practice most other labels had abandoned a generation earlier. | | | New "Hit of the Week" records debuted in August, now with two songs or dance tunes on each single sided disc, with 5 minutes of total playing time. |

| | Previous Records of the Week |
| | Recorded in late 61 or early 62, this release shows Jack to be as adept at arranging for a brass band as he is with his more usual session musicians or orchestras. | | | The Eden record label operated from late '62 to early '63 and there appears to have been a business, as well as a musical, tie-up: Lee was credited with production and Jack as arranger on all known releases. | | | But the record is no screaming howler backed with a bluesy guitar riff, oh no, this has tambourines, brass-a-plenty, fancy piano triplets and a beat to stir the soul! |

| | Anyway we put a band together and recorded an album which was frankly a bit schizoid, a bit of a mess because there was Bob's stuff and my stuff and it didn't really meet in the middle. | | | That album was recorded in two hours one night after a gig at the ICA at Regent Sound in Denmark Street - in mono. | | | A lot of that was recorded for a show we did at the ICA about Guillaume Appollinaire called 'J' Emerveille' or 'I Wonder' with Tom Kempinski who later wrote 'Duet For One' and became a good playwright. |

| | [ Past and Present Records of the Week ] at Aquarius Records |
| | We still thought the first record was better, until we went back and listened, and realized, that while the old record was still great, this new record took everything they were shooting for with the that one, and hit perfect bullseyes with every track on The Weight Is A Gift. | | | Half of this phenomenon is due to her amazing lungs, the other to the insane engineering skills of the producers who record these scores who choose to overload the microphone preamps and super-saturate the magnetic tape during the loudest passages resulting in an unholy natural compression of the signal. | | | Anyone who heard that infamous sound sample (which was from this album), or who got to hear the live record, knows that this band is totally amazing, and indeed this record is beautiful, wild and wonderful, chaotic and festive, totally perplexing but completely mesmerizing. |

| | Grapevine - Phillip Mitchell - Pick Hit Of The Week GVCD3021 |
| | Of all his compositions, this one has proved to be a particularly adaptable song with successful versions recorded in soul, reggae and pop styles. | | | In fact it may be that Phillip didn't ever record the song himself as it was written in his car en route to the studio. | | | Phillip didn't start to concentrate seriously on his own recording career until the late 1970s, having only released half a dozen 45s prior to that, so he wasn't considered to be a very prolific artist. |
