NOTES
Catalogue number: MFP 1319 Release date: June 1969 The front of the sleeve has the tracks in the wrong order, which is not in itself unusual - but on the back of the sleeve, which supposedly supplies a track listing for each side, they are left in the same incorrect order, which does not correspond with the LP. (The true playing order is given above.) |
We do not have good cover shots of the Australian edition, but it is possible to see the Australian price point $1.99 on the front. The back however is different from the UK album in that it lists the songs in the correct playing order! We only have a section of the back cover, which we have overlaid onto a black and white image of the UK album to complete it. One can also see the different logo near the bottom, and just read "Music For Pleasure Pty Ltd", the official name of the Australian company. (Pty means Proprietory Company.) The catalogue number is A 8087.
Pictured here is a Mexican LP, part of their ongoing "Ola Inglesa" series. Early LPs were created from tracks originally released in the UK on the Top Six label, but by Volume 12 they were using MFP recordings (despite which, Top Six are still credited on the front!).
This Volume 12 is a pressing of "Top Hits". The following installment would be made up of tracks from the "Top of the Pops" series, so this might be a one-off.

This album was probably the first - but not the last - issued in Norway, since for this release there was no label named, other than "Top Hits", in big letters. The contents match the UK edition.
Most of the songs on this LP appeared on EPs in Portugal. Pictured above is the EP, Exito, which is billed as being by Bill Wellings. It was released on the Alvorada label. The catalogue number is EP-79-62 and the tracks are as follows:
- My Way
- Love Me Tonight
- My Sentimental Friend
- Galveston
This is another EP from Portugal, on the Alvorada label. It too is credited to Bill Wellings and is called Sucessos. This EP has six tracks, whereas the one above only has four. The catalogue number is LD-41-7 and the songs on this EP are:
