Sleeve notes:

It’s the greatest
It’s the latest
It’s Top Of The Pops!

It’s catchy, it moves
It soars, it soothes

Start dancing
Start clapping
Start shouting

There’s lots lots more on
Top Of The Pops
Volume 84...
Comments: The two John Lennon tracks appeared on chart in the immediate aftermath of his murder in December 1980. Lennon singles dominated the top 10 for some time afterwards.
