Woolies "Chart Hits" Pop Covers Tapes

You clearly haven't heard the version on the Woolies "chart hits" pop covers LP from 197?. I'm pretty sure my little sis still has the vinyl.

Yes! I remember those from when I was very young. My mum got me one, cos
we (well, I at least) assumed this tape'd contain the actual songs.

The "imitations" (not cover versions really, *imitations*) were *dire*!
Some more so than others, but all at least *dire*.

ISTR I wanted the tape for an Adam and the Ants track (forget which),
and the appalling rendition I heard horrified me!

They were so "of their time"; you wouldn't get that crap these days!

These days, the original music itself is crap, instead - cut out the
middle man!
