Copycat Cover Records: Chevron magazine advert bigs up cover versions

http://copycatcovers.blogspot.com/2014/12/chevron-magazine-advert-bigs-up-cover.html

Adventures in collecting anonymous cover versions. Monday, December 8, 2014. Chevron magazine advert bigs up cover versions. I was recently contacted by Gary Jones, who brought to my attention an old advert for Chevron cassettes - the budget line stocked primarily, probably exclusively, by Woolworths in the late 1970s and 1980s. Gary chanced upon the ad in an old copy of Smash Hits. Magazine - as featured on this. That's What I Call Music. Below are some close-ups. Labels: Books and Media. January 2, 201...

Copycat Cover Records: Top of the Pops LPs... in Yugoslavia!

http://copycatcovers.blogspot.com/2015/03/top-of-pops-lps-in-yugoslavia.html

Adventures in collecting anonymous cover versions. Saturday, March 14, 2015. Top of the Pops LPs. in Yugoslavia! I'm sure you recognise it as volume 33. The front cover is identical to the UK album, except that the local label - Diskos - have their logo added at the bottom. On the back though, there's been a more radical change - all the sleeve notes have just been deleted, possibly because they were in English. Check out those blue labels - pretty groovy!

Copycat Cover Records: Sounds Like Hits - a glimpse of volume 8

http://copycatcovers.blogspot.com/2015/02/sounds-like-hits-glimpse-of-volume-8.html

Adventures in collecting anonymous cover versions. Tuesday, February 10, 2015. Sounds Like Hits - a glimpse of volume 8. Ken describes himself as a casual 'jackdaw' who picks up LPs he finds on his travels. Luckily, one of his most recent scoops was an Australian copy of "Sounds Like Hits" volume 8! It was issued in Australia on the local Astor label, who among other things, were also issuing all the Marble Arch "Chartbusters" LPs to Australian listeners, at the same time.

Copycat Cover Records: More pricing shenanigans from mfp

http://copycatcovers.blogspot.com/2015/01/more-pricing-shenanigans-from-mfp.html

Adventures in collecting anonymous cover versions. Thursday, January 29, 2015. More pricing shenanigans from mfp. It's been a curiosity for ages: mfp and their retail price changes. I've done a couple of posts on it in the past - here. Old news perhaps, but I've just stumbled across another stickered example. Here's the usual sleeve. 14 shillings and sixpence, in your old money. Here's the stickered version. Make it fifteen bob. Or 75p, if you will. (We were just going decimal, after all.).

Copycat Cover Records: Top of the Pops volume 1 - a cover story

Adventures in collecting anonymous cover versions. Saturday, February 28, 2015. Top of the Pops volume 1 - a cover story. So, who's that lady? Alas, I don't know, but I recently stumbled upon what at first seemed to be an unrelated LP, but which on further investigation, gives us a little more insight into how this sleeve came about:. This image would surface once more in the "Top of the Pops" series, when the end-of-year collection for 1969 was issued. So there you have it - a design classic was born, B...
