Sleeve notes:

Teenagers! Kids! Switched-on Mums and Dads! Here it is, our latest Top of the Pops album at a price you can all afford!

Look at the list of titles, and you'll find that most, if not all, are way up in the charts. Our talented musicians and vocalists have produced a wonderful sound - we think some of the tracks sound better than the original hit recordings made by the top international artistes - but don't take our word for it. Just try this really fab album and you'll know at once that we're right; our string of previous smash successes on Top of the Pops albums is a great tribute to all you good folk who appreciate beautiful pop music. If you're happy, so are we.

So go, go, go with this record, and if you love it, tell us, tell your friends, tell the whole wide world that Hallmark records have made another hit album.
Comments: As one might imagine, the exposed nipple on the cover caused a minor backlash. The photo is one of two commissioned from notable photographers - this one taken by well-known album cover man, Michel Laguens, whose work appears on many budget LPs of the 1970s. His name is given on the back of the sleeve.

This would be the only Top of the Pops album ever to feature songs by both John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
