Renaissance Vinilo y CD

Review: Ranked at number 289 in Rock Hard magazine's coffee table essential The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time, 1981's Hit & Run would serve as the critically acclaimed sophomore effort from the longest running all-female hard rock act of all time; Girlschool. Following on from 1980's debut LP Demolition, their frenetic concoction of punk-tinged metallic mayhem would ultimately be perfected on this preceding effort, forever cementing the group as one of the pioneering acts of the NWBHM movement, while the album also served as the highest charting release of their four-decade spanning career, reaching number five in the UK Albums Chart.

Review: 'State Of Mind' by Mephisto was originally released in 1992 as an Italian house precursor to trance. The single, receiving four mixes, was among the many wax releases to propel the producer (real name Maurizio D'Ambrosio) to longlasting acclaim, thanks to an affiliation with the label Palmares Records & Tapes. This new re-edit from Renaissance Records hears the 1992 version on the B with a 2022 rerub on the A by none other than UK house pushers Gorgon City.
