Hit by Hit is the debut album by alternative rock band the Godfathers, released in November 1986.[1][2] It was compiled from the Godfathers' three independent singles on their own Corporate Image label released between 1985 and 1986 ("I Want Everything", "This Damn Nation" and "Lonely Man"),[3] plus one previously unreleased song, "Cold Turkey" (a John Lennon cover).[1]
Critical reception
Trouser Press called it "an essential debut", writing, "Hit by Hit presents a band already sporting a remarkably clear vision. Titles like "I Want Everything," "This Damn Nation," "I Want You" and "I’m Unsatisfied," replete with explosive riffing and angry vocals, tell you nearly all you need to know about how the Godfathers saw their lot in Maggie Thatcher's England."[4] In a retrospective review, Record Collector magazine wrote, "The sound of the first rebellion of the 80s London youth against Popworld PLC sounds remarkably fresh and relevant even today."[5]
