Sleeve notes:

You are now holding 16 great songs in your hand. All fresh from the charts and expertly performed by the Top Of The Poppers.

Volume 86 offers all these well produced exciting sounds at Pickwick’s usual low price.

Great for parties,

Great for dancing,

Great to just listen to.

Brighten up your day,

Take and armful of lively music home with you,

Take Top Of The Pops Volume 86.
Comments: This cover shot is believed to have originated in France, via French photographer Michel Laguens. Although we do not know the model's name, it has been verified that she is the same model as on the cover of Volume 65.

Photo shoot


Other photos from the shoot are known (below). The one on the left appeared on a French LP cover. The one in the centre was used on a New Zealand LP of original hit tracks, while the third appeared on an Israeli LP. All show the photography before Pickwick's artists added the cartoon flashes on her boots and the falling snowflakes (in June!).
