Spain Volume 19 (85.048)

Picture
Picture
This Spanish pressing of Volume 19 is remarkable for the fact that it uses the artwork from Europe Edition Vol 1. The cover it ought to have is very similar, with Susy Shaw in blue, against a red background, opening up the possibility that the switch was a mistake.

Certainly, the fact that this sleeve carries the Euro flags seems anomalous, not to mention the fact that Euro 1 was presumably on sale in Spain as well, released at the same time as volume 19.

Despite the flags, the badge stating "Europe Edition" has been removed from the top left corner, leaving a blemish where it was re-touched. Other minor alterations include the changing of the Hallmark logo from white to black. 

There is another interesting feature - the track "Hey Girl Don't Bother Me" has been axed, and replaced with "Mamy Blue", sourced from... Euro 1. Stranger and stranger.

TOP OF THE POPS (2 volumes). Disco "Hallmark", 85.046 and 85.048

Abundant selection of hits, in the company's own versions (by a group belonging to the record label, of course), with covers of the original artists done well. They are current compilation discs, which serve their puropse very well.
