France - possible Top of the Pops releases on jle

There are many more albums and singles on jle which we believe may contain one or more tracks from the Top of the Pops catalogue. Without listening to them all, it is impossible to say, but we offer here a survey of some of them. If you have any knowledge of the contents of any of these records, we would be most grateful to hear from you!

The singles pictured above are on jle, and contain tracks also known on the label’s contemporary Top of the Pops releases. Each of these A-sides is Beatles-related. If we are able to confirm that these are indeed Poppers recordings, we will move them to their own pages.

Left to right:
Ob-la-di Ob-la-da / Soul Sensation (A-side from volume 3 ?)
Hey Jude / Midnight Theme (A-side from volume 2 ?)
Those Were the Days / Buzz Buzzy Daisy (A-side from volume 2 ?)

Allan Crawford stopped working on Top of the Pops after volume 14, but there are plenty more albums after that point with his name on, which we cautiously assume do not contain Top of the Pops recordings. These include:

      Ambiance Jeunesse Actualite (album 1)
      Ambiance Jeunesse Actualite (album 2)
      Hits Again (album 1)
      Hits Again (album 2)
      Super Hits (different to earlier “Super Hits” album)
      Let’s Hear Credence Hits
      A Tribute to Tom Jones Hits
      Let The Crawfords Play Credence Clearwater Hits

There is one worth a paricular look however. Note the Top of the Pops-style title (see also French edition of Volume 3). Possible Top of the Pops recordings are all from Euro 3.
