Junk Box Jury

Taken from the LP ‘Hot Hits – Volume 16’ | (Music For Pleasure MFP 50056) January 1973

The series of ‘Hot Hits‘, continued with a brunette dollybird dressed in the latest go go girl rubber diving gear and a knife strapped to her leg in the highly-likely event of getting chased by a group of hairy-arsed blokes. What a lass!

There’s a ‘Not Exchangeable’ note stamped on the back cover, presumably a message for anyone who’d just heard the first track, a dire version of “Blockbuster”. Enough for any 70s kid to rush back to Woolworths for his / her pocket-money back.

Cover versions include “Ball Park Incident”, by Wizzard, “Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone”, by the Temptations, a decent rendition of “You’re So Vain” by Carly Simon and interesting bluesy pop in the shape of “Dreidal”, by Don McLean.

“Relay” reached No. 21 in the British Charts for the Who.

These are twelve of the HOT HITS that are riding high in the charts. They have been excitingly recreated by talented artists who recapture the original appeal that has made them into hits.

Music For Pleasure brings you these chart busters on a single LP so if you want to make your party swing or simply wish to relish the sounds of HOT HITS, pop this album onto your record player and enjoy yourself.
