FALSO TOP OF THE POPS PORTUGUÊS



RR - LP - 2034 - edição portuguesa

Ao contrário do que esta capa pode indiciar, não se trata de uma versão portuguesa dos famosos Top Of The Pops.

Para aclarar ideias, pedi uma opinião a Terry Wilson, especialista no Top Of The Pops, britânico, original:

Thanks for the photos. These are very interesting, but I don't think they are Top of the Pops - but in fact, I think I know what they are. In the UK there was another record series, very similar to Top of the Pops, called 16 Chart Hits. You can see all the LPs here.

The records you sent have all their songs on 16 Chart Hits, and although they are mixed up, they are in sections which come from the same LPs - so for example, on your LP No. 2, the first two songs are from 16 Chart Hits Volume 7, the next four are from 16 Chart Hits Volume 10, and then the whole of side 2 is from Volume 7 again.

From what I can tell, all of the LPs including the ones printed on the backs, have songs from the 16 Chart Hits LPs - and there is another reason to think they are the same recordings - if you look at the small LP printed on the back, which is The Best o Top Pops volume 4 - the cover is the same photo as on 16 Chart Hits Volume 12. So, there is definitely a connection and I am sure that is where these LPs come from originally.
