Little Hits, the Label

Sometime around a year ago, around when I wrote this column, our dear Jon Harrison intimated to me that he wanted to start a label-offshoot-type-thing from his Little Hits blog in order to release 45s. It seemed like the perfect project for a man whose life is so definied by a love for beautiful and forgotten pop singles.

And now, the project has reached fruition with a band close to his heart, Lawrence’s the Shebangs. Now, in order to have a permanent copy of the band’s first single, you don’t have to buy the record that Jon & crew worked so hard over the past year to make. You can just visit Little Hits to download the Shebangs’ sweet and lowdown “Maybe Yes, Maybe No.”

But why would you want to do that when you can send a check for only $3.50 to Jon (e-mail him at jonhar@sunflower.com for info) and have a delicious slice of local music history mailed to you? And how’s he going to cut another seven-inch gem if we all just cop the free download off his blog?

Help make this single Little Hits’ first little hit.
