Very glad of this! I have managed to hold out on buying the pirate copies of these 2.

Would have been great if they released a hit & run package including the unreleased phases. Do we know how finished they were and if they exist at all ?

It’s an interesting thought. Why rerelease these on vinyl now? Seems very random. Something planned?

Don't get your hopes up: the Estate already discussed these Hitnrun 1 and 2 vinyl releases during their Cellie Vault panel.

I'm on the fence about buying these.

So far the "first time on vinyl" releases have been great, if for no other reason than because of the loudness wars most of the CD releases just don't sound good at all. 3121 on vinyl for instance sounds sooo much better than the CD.

That’s the post I must have seen - glad I wasn’t making it up or hallucinating!

He even posted pictures of the singles, so it seems legit. The magazines are Musikexpress and Rolling Stone Germany.

Here are the pre order links for the magazines including the HnR 1+2 vinyl singles:

Very interesting that this two vinyls get this huge exclusive media coverage - exactly like they did with the DnP SDE, SOTT SDE and a few other Prince releases. NO exclusive content and bigger stories for Around the world in a day though!! Seems like the Estate didn't put a penny for marketing in ATWIAD because they knew they messed it up... I hope so.

Yeah a lot of the tracks on HNR have some nasty distorted bass (not as bad a Breakdown on AOA but not great) so hopefully they'll be better mastered this time around.
