Top of the Pops is a UK budget compilation LP released in 1971 on Hallmark Records, the in‑house label of Pickwick International. Albums in the Top of the Pops series featured studio cover versions of contemporary chart hits, performed by anonymous session musicians rather than the original artists.
This issue includes renditions of major late‑1960s and early‑1970s pop and rock songs, such as Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep, Co‑Co, Don’t Let It Die, Black and White, Me and You and a Dog Named Boo, River Deep, Mountain High, Tom‑Tom Turnaround, Street Fighting Man, La‑La Means I Love You, and Won’t Get Fooled Again.
The sleeve design — a brightly coloured, fashion‑forward cover image — is typical of early‑1970s UK budget pop releases and has become collectible in its own right for its period aesthetic.
