Sleeve notes:

THIS IS OUR FOURTH ANNIVERSARY!

It is four years almost to the day since we introduced the "Top of the Pops" series to the world and, thanks to you all, we have gone from strength to strength culminating in four No.1 spots in the space of a few months.

Of course, all successes have their imitators, and our TOP OF THE POPS is no exception. But we know we can rely on the judgement of all you knowledgeable pop enthusiasts.

As a birthday present from US to YOU we have made an extra special effort to make this album the greatest yet in a great series; and as a birthday present from YOU to US, we hope you'll make this the best-selling No.1 L.P. yet. Remember, fans, this is an extra special TOP OF THE POPS and we are relying on you to make it No.1.

Thank you. Thank you.
