RECORDS
Independent Irish label: Hit Records with the majority of the twenty-odd singles that it made were issued only in the Republic of Ireland, but a few seem to have come out - and perhaps to have been pressed - in Britain. Billboard magazine of the 29th of May 1971 says that Roly Daniels's 'Sunny Tennessee' (HIT-7) was to receive massive promotion from Shannon Records and from publishers April Music in an attempt to break the singer in Britain. And has a Release Records matrix / catalogue number, RL-577; it appears to have been issued in Ireland on Release with that number. The British 'New Singles' leaflet lists HIT-14, HIT-15 and HIT-16, while trade magazine Music Week lists HIT-18. In addition, some of the singles, have a different typeface to the usual one; they also have the artist's name facing away from the spindle hole rather than towards it, as most of the singles do, and a more British appearance. Finally, it seems unlikely that a spin-off record from the British sitcom 'Father Dear Father' (By Patrick Cargill, on HIT-16; the theme, by Gordon Franks, is on the reverse) would be issued in Ireland but not in Britain.
