Many entries of Hit Records 101-150 are single edits of album (jazz and/or live) tracks, many others are spoken. Therefore, Hit Records seems to be much less attractive, to Collectors, than Obscure Artists (instrumental, rock, teen or R&B) – Discogs Marketplace prices confirm this assumption. Both sets are overlapping marginally.
