DESCRIPTION:
Possibly the last breath of those copycat budget LP's like the Top Of The Pops series. By 1979 people were becoming more PC, so no half naked woman on the cover to sell it now. It is unusual to hear copycats of the new wave songs from the chart of that time, such as The Jam, Gary Numan, Blondie and the Boomtown Rats. Unfortunately, Nights In White Satin, isn't a copy of the Dickies version. Of course a few years later, Now That's what I Call Music started up. Selling people the real versions of the chart songs whilst they were still on the chart and killed it all dead.
