LISTEN HERE   

In 1968, the Hallmark Label, a division of Pickwick Records, began to release in the UK a series of 92 albums (stretching to 1985) featuring re-recorded versions of current chart hits by uncredited session musicians who became known as 'The Top Of The Poppers'. Included among them were the likes of future hitmakers Elton John and Tina Charles, but here are all the original tracks that the recordings were based on.
