The artists to choose from were: Bay City Rollers, Gary Glitter, The Glitter Band, Showaddywaddy, Sweet Sensation, Rubettes, The Stylistics, Status Quo and Slade. Smith's Crisps flexidisc were in tri-fold sleeve.

All 16 tracks are included here, plus for this special 2022 remaster, a further 6 bonus tracks have been added by some of the same artists released around the same time, and were all big hits in 1974 and 1975. This now 22 track collection has a CD running time of 77:58. (K.)

  1. Oh, my . . . Although I moved to the United States in 1976,
    I would have been 15 years old and still living in England
    at the time of that promotional campaign (which I must not,
    however, have noticed in the first place). Thank you very much
    for the sampler. It's certainly ringing some bells for me!
