Sleeve notes:

This album contains “la  crème de la crème”, the refined essence of all that was best in pop music during 1973.

What we have done to produce this L.P. is to select the 14 greatest tracks from all the issues of our best selling “Top of the Pops” series released in 1973. What’s more every single track on this album has been in the No.1 spot. How about that! 

Such all-time greats as “Tie a Yellow Ribbon”, “Eye Level” and “Blockbuster” are played and sung on this album by the finest session musicians in the business. 

What thrills us particularly are the shoals of letters we receive from pop experts asking us to settle bets as to whether or no some of the tracks on our “Top of the Pops” were recorded on the album by the original top stars. Well, we’ll settle the question right now. The answer is “No”. Our Top of the Pops stars are the greatest session musicians money can buy and they are assisted by the most up-to-date equipment and techniques available to the recording industry today.

So, listen, and let this really great L.P. take you through the high spots of Pop Music, 1973. You’ll thrill to the rhythm, the beat, the lyrics and the general excellence of these fourteen “Number Ones”. 

Pop People - thanks!

Comments: Oversight of the year: David Bowie was in the top 10 five times during 1973 - but the Poppers only ever captured "Life On Mars", and none of his haul are on an LP which summarises his most successful year!
