Taken from the LP ‘Smash Hits ’72’ | (Music For Pleasure MFP 50048) 1972

The series of ‘Hot Hits‘, continued with an end of year round-up with seven of the twelve numbers brand new recordings. The compilation was given a slightly different title of ‘Smash Hits ’72’.

Kung-Fu was all the rage in ’72 so the ‘Hot Hits’ crew needed an LP cover to reflect this craze. So they paid good money for a local blonde dollybird to don the latest martial arts gear and fling her legs about like there’s no tomorrow. What a lass!

Cover versions include “Popcorn”, by Hot Butter, bonehead rock “Mama Weer All Crazee Now”, by Slade, a vocal harmony number “Beg, Steal Or Borrow” by the New Seekers and “Metal Guru”, by T. Rex.

I’m plumping for the smooth commercial ballad “Could It Be Forever” which reached No. 2 in the British Charts for David Cassidy.

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.
