HOT HITS Hot Hits 12 (1972 UK 12-track stereo compilation LP, part of a UK phenomenon which saw the two major budget labels compete weekly to attempt to second guess & record cover versions of the following weeks chart toppers. Each album hadto be tracklisted, recorded, manufactured & in the shops in time for the following weeks chart announcements, meaning that they were of necessity produced incredibly quickly. This meant that some of the cream of the UK's session musicians wereusedin order to get the songs down in the minimum of takes. People such as Elton John, members of Thin Lizzy & Deep Purple, along with many other notable 'names' are known to have participated in these sessions, making these albums now quite sought after by completists & very hard to get in mint condition over thirty years on. The pressings are good & solid & the sleeves are front laminated. There is a small 'Not Exchangable' stamp on the back of the sleeve, otherwise this copy is in excellent condition MFP5281).
