    Ah yes, Motown Chartbusters! Those and the 'Tighten Up' volumes were a part of my growing up.

        I wonder if the professionals on the board have ever met anybody who admits to doing session work on those?
        I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

        I am not a number, I am a free man.

          I have met a few people who have done work on those albums. Everyone's got to earn a living, ts - well that's not true these days, but you know what I mean!

            Surprised to read they were released even well into the 80s. I've done my research [non-politically correct dolly bird cover warning]

              Incidentally, I have a family connection to chart toppers " Middle of the Road". I'm sure their tunes turned up on those TOTP discs .

              Just thought you might like to know.

                              At the risk of being pedantic, wasn't it the New seekers? I had all their albums and I remember the 'Circles' album with the circular cover. As a twelve year old, my uncle asked me if I looked the blonde or the brunette best. I remember answering 'I like both of them!'

                                Only on the heavy duty politics threads.she is a nothern peace loving ex communist, when the mood takes her.

                                She's too busy looking at the talent out in Brazil anyway, ATM.
