Hit Parade 2

Hit Parade 2 is a compilation album by The Wedding Present released in January 1993. Having decided to release a limited edition single every month for all of 1992 (each featuring an original track on the A side and a cover version on the B side) the group subsequently compiled the songs as two LPs called Hit Parade 1 and Hit Parade 2. In 2003, a double CD was issued called simply "The Hit Parade".

A different recording of Boing! than the one found on the original 7" single was used on all subsequent album editions - the single edition was produced by Jimmy Miller (who also produced Flying Saucer), the re-recording by Brian Paulson (who also produced the remaining singles). The original video for this track was also omitted from the VHS compilation "Dick York's Wardrobe".

gollark: Well, that seems weirdly inconsistent.
gollark: GCSEs use number grades now for some reason, but 1 is worst.
gollark: Er, good.
gollark: Apparently I've managed to not fail my GCSEs (even English Literature), which is nice. Although they're pretty meaningless this year, as there weren't actual exams and there was a horrible mess with grades.
