USA "Super Hits Vol 10" (SPC 3911)
This
album took its cover photo from Volume 24, which curiously falls out of
chronology - Super Hits Volume 9 had already used the cover from the subsequent TOTP
album.
This image has the model completely cut and pasted onto a new backdrop, and the new cut is noticeable from the slightly different profile of the image. Interestingly, the original photo seems to have been shot against an orange background, as revealed by the coloured edges around the model on volume 24, but this re-working is definitely cut again, and is not simply the original shot, kept intact.
The back cover illustrates all previous albums in the series, and since this was the last, comprises the full collection.
And shame on their proof reader too. Not only is Dawn's "Old Oak Tree" mis-titled "Ole Oak Tree" thoughout, they also make mention of Stevie Wonder's previous hit, "Suspicion". It was, of course, "Superstition"!
Several tracks from the album were also featured on Top of the Pops albums, clustering around volume 30, and it happens that the earliest three of these are identical, whereas the later one is not - which suggests that Super Hits borrowed them from existing Top of the Pops albums, but that the reverse is not true.
The recordings are as follows:
The other titles recorded by the Poppers in separate versions are "You Are The Sunshine of My Life" and "Sing".
