Notes

Soundalike cover versions of recent hits. A B.W.D Production (Bill Wellings).

First of MFP's "Hits" LPs to be issued in stereo

There are three front covers known, with different prices shown: 13/11; 14/6; and 13/11 with a factory sticker upgrading the cost.

There are also three different back covers, which couple up with the fronts in a variety of permutations. These sleeve backs can be described as:

1. Black print
2. Purple print, with STEREO/MONO notice at top
3. Purple print, no STEREO/MONO notice

 R.C. said: "The legend of Xanadu sounds so close to the original". That was the intention, to sound as close to the original version as possible, though they were not entirely successful in their efforts.

 R.C. asked: Has this also I think the label layout changed in 1971? Answer, yes! The MFP label severed connection with EMI for Australia(but retained the connection in Britain for some years into the 1980s or beyond). The oval label design we saw on the Summit labels was adapted for MFP issues when MFP started issuing albums by artists and groups not in the EMI roster, the only variance was the colour scheme. Oval? More like a rugby-league ball shape! With the copyright warning below the "shape" and in three lines, following the curve.

 I don't know if you've noticed, but the address for Music For Pleasure is the same on both the British and Australian versions on some releases, 176 South Creek Road, Dee Why West, 2099 NSW. I've seen the Australian address on some British-made LPs. I suspect the Brit pressings were for export to bolster the supply to meet the "demand(?)" for a given title, hmmm.....!

 For the Australian version, substitute the catalogue number on the cover to MFP-A-8017(but on the label as SMFP-8017, bit of inconsistency there), and the price on the front cover from Brit. from 13/11, then 14/6, to Australian $1.99, then add those oh-so-ugly publishing company trademarks across the centre of the label at spindle-hole level, you have the Australian issue of this album.
A few other points, I think you'll find the preceding LP, Hits '67 was also in Stereo, that's it pictured below in the List of 12 compiled by Top-Popper, the Stereo/Mono tag was simply a marketing thing to tell the owner the record was compatible with mono players(I had a HMV Minigram, back in 1968), and on occasional Brit. LPs under the EMI manufacture, the copyright warning around the edge would go missing.
