HIT AND RUN
RECORDS
Independent label: Hit And Run Records was a label
dedicated to reissuing rare Soul records. Hit And Run was owned by Garry J.
Cape, and was distributed by Black Grape, of Wakefield. The company
licensed and issued just three singles: Eddie Giles's, 'Married Lady' (5001),
'Never Too Busy', by Mighty Sam (5002), and 'Keep On Trying', by George Perkins
(5003). All of them came out in March 1979; the '1973' on the label
of 5001 record refers to the date of the single's first appearance, in the
USA. Pressing was by Lyntone. Cope, who was a prominent dealer in
Soul records, made another venture into the licensing and
issuing field later that same year, with the Special Agent label. And
he continues to carry on that sort of business today, operating
online through Soulscape Records. He revived the Hit And Run label in
January 2009. Distributed By Black Grape Records. Thanks to Robert Lyons
