Top Of The Pops Volume 24 (Hallmark)

From June 1972 we have volume 24 in the iconic covers of hit songs series. As with all of these records the strength of the album depends on the strength of the charts at the time and thus the songs which qualified to be included. This one isn't bad at all and includes a very presentable version of "Rocket man" along with decent covers of "Metal guru" and "California man".

Highlight though has to be "Little Willy" that is an infectious pop song, the immature amongst us may also find the lyrics hilarious (well i did anyway). The rest of the LP is a bit forgettable, the version of "Tumbling dice" must have hardly kept the Rolling Stones awake.
