Customer Review: I Like It!
Yep, the Queen cover is a big reason to own this CD, But I can name 2 others too! The cover of ABBA’s “Mamma Mia” actually works as a fresh take on the standard rather than just an clone, and actually sounds like something from a broadway play years before anyone had the concept! Plus the cover of ABBA’s “Fernando” is so cheesy and corny that it simply must be heard! So at it’s current the price those 3 great tracks it’s not bad value.
Customer Review: Heard better 22:30 Friday night
I have heard better on a friday night at the pub ,yes all the songs are covers and not that great except for track 5 Glass of Champagne ,the ABBA and Queen songs well I best not say (I only put it in my basket to save paying P&P )

Top of the Pops 1969 Customer Review: ‘69 without the heavy breathing
‘Original Tracks by the Original Artists’ it says up the front of this compilation. Don’t you believe it! At least one track (’Durham Town’) is a later, inferior remake and, while they might be original recordings, other tracks featured are actually pale copies of genuine ‘69 hits. ‘Je T’Aime…’ was a greater success for Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg, reaching number one, than for ‘Sounds Nice’ (who they?); ditto ‘Aquarius’ - a hit for Fifth Dimension (not included here) rather than Paul Jones’s sad attempt, which only reached no. 45 in the charts (and yes, you got it, featured here).
EMI have better 1969 tracks than these in their archive: how much better this compilation would be with some of them instead.
