Note :

As we have already covered Hit (TN) 45rpm I am reusing the Hit (TN) mp3 tracks. ( I do not like having doubles in my music player.)  Also ones I have tagged on other Spar-owned labels like  Country & Western Hits Etc will be used. The Giant versions are noted in Comment (please turn on comment on in your music player.) For those tracks issued on other Spar-company-issued labels I will add a 45rpm label for the Giant issue only. Spar reused music but altered the artist / band names. If you need a separate mp3 of both just cut & paste from the comment column and add a label in your tagging. The only way to confirm is to check the matrix number on all the Spar labels for doubles. Or just throw any you do not want away.  Corrections, links to another issue, additions welcome.

I’m Guessing if i either get round to finishing Country & Western Hits (TN) some of the missing will turn up

Giant (TN) 45 - 1007 : Bill Bailey - She Cried (1962) missing = Ed Hardin Hit (TN) 45 - 7
