Re: Top of the pops vinyl

I had a couple of these when younger and didn't realise at the time they were not original artists.
I remember one had Paul McCartney's "C-moon" and Neil Diamonds " Forever in blue jeans" on. Think the cover was a scantily dressed lady in the snow with a sledge.
This was a time before the "Now" albums were able to get the various record companies to agree to their artists appearing on a compilation. I believe I read somewhere once that a pre superstar Elton John played on several of these albums...

I was a magnet for those Top Of The Pops albums. Seemed to just appear from nowhere. So had quite a stack of them leaning against the bedroom wall. Never purchased a single one.Guess most people brought them for "as dad would say" the eye appeal on the cover.Musically as a kid they were OK and kept us kids busy for quite a while listening to them.
