    Thanks for that BlaasForRafa.

    My mother has a couple of those sets - the James Last one and the Festival of Light Classics. I have never seen the order form or other inserts - they're fascinating. Good value for the time. Love the "Send No Money Now" tagline.

    These guys were not third rate session musicians.

    Trevor Horn cut his teeth on this

    And Elton John.
    Here's his cover with Clare Torry (who did the wailing bits in Pink Floyd's Great Gig in the Sky and the theme to BBC sitcom Butterflies)of Young, Gifted and Black

    When i worked in Dunnes Stores they had one of these compilations playing relentlessly over the tannoy.

    Excruciating cover versions played by somebody on a Hammond Organ that after being played on a loop for six hours became almost a reason alone to want to quit.

    To this day i can remember the horrific rendition of Culture Club.."do you really want to hurt meeee" followed by "dum dum dum dum" on the organ...it makes my stomach lurch.

    To get the full effect record on a cheap C120 cassette tape and play on constant loop/autoreverse for at least five years
