Hit Parade Records Presents Original Mono Classics In Premium Stereo Sound

For over 15 years, the respected Canadian label HIT PARADE Records has been releasing high-quality collections of pop and rock & roll classics from the ’50s and ’60s. And since 2014 the company’s international team of six audio engineering specialists have been transforming original mono hits to true stereo, using the latest state-of-the-art software.

Collectors everywhere have come to recognize with each new release how dramatically mono recordings of every genre can be improved with the right techniques. Starting with the conversion to stereo of original hits by Hank Williams, Judy Garland and Buddy Holly, as well as the entire Stereo Explosion various artists series, HIT PARADE has become the leader in this exciting new field.

But there has been a catch – until now. These amazing stereo releases have long been unavailable in Europe. That all changes today, as Bear Family is proud to offer the premium quality of this great label at reasonable import prices. Collectors unaware of the vastly superior sound will only need one listen to be convinced of this incredible leap in audio technology.
