Hit Parade 2 is a compilation album by The Wedding Present released in January 1993. Having decided to release a limited edition single every month for all of 1992 (each featuring an original track on the A side and a cover version on the B side) the group subsequently compiled the songs as two LPs called Hit Parade 1 and Hit Parade 2. In 2003, a double CD was issued called simply "The Hit Parade".
A different recording of Boing! was used on all subsequent album editions to that found on the original 7" single - the single edition being recorded with Jimmy Miller (who also produced Flying Saucer), the re-recording with Brian Paulson (who also produced the remaining singles). The original video for this track was also omitted from the VHS compilation "Dick York's Wardrobe".

“The parade was here, but it disappeared around a corner.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
