An American label, operating out of New York. Hilltak was owned by Hillery Johnson and Tom Takayoshi, which explains how it got its name. It managed a handful of albums and more than a dozen singles in the USA, during the years 1978-c.79, but over here its output was far more modest; indeed, Dalton & Dubarri's single, 'I Can Dance All By Myself' b/w 'There Is Love In Everybody' (DJS-10924; 10/1979) seems to have been its only British 7". That 7" appears to have been available only in promotional form, the issue being a 12", of which the 7" was an edited version. The 12" was numbered DJR-18007. It was licensed by DJM and issued by that company, as indeed was the album from which it was taken, 'Choice' (DJF-20565); both were given DJM catalogue numbers. Thanks to Robert Bowes for bringing the label to my attention.
