Comments and Reviews


Record Collector 27th Jan 2015		Sure thing chief



Neil Forbes 27th Jan 2015		R.C.'s comment: "I made a yogi yes that's a booboo the album was issued in May not April and superstition made the Brisbane charts in February that year". Shall we put this one in our Maxwell Smart Moments" file, R.C.?



Record Collector 26th Jan 2015		I made a yogi yes that's a booboo the album was issued in May not April and superstition made the Brisbane charts in February that year



Neil Forbes 24th Jan 2015		No doubt it would have been heavily promoted on TV, radio and in the newspapers as many of those types of albums were. They didn't carry the TVSS prefix for nothing!



Record Collector 24th Jan 2015		Was this ever advertised on television as I have vague memory explosive hits '74 was



Neil Forbes 24th Jan 2015		R.C. said: "Loop Di Love is actually a cover version by shag originally done by a Dutch group in 1971" That's one on me - I wasn't aware of that. Should've picked it by the composer credits though.



Neil Forbes 24th Jan 2015		Well I see you've "discovered" Loop Di Love. As for Superstition, I thought it was the complete version but I expect they'd have edited Nights in White Satin... it has a somewhat reptilian quality about it(it will "drag on" a bit... dragon - get it?). Part of the reason why the cut back from 10 to 9 tracks per side, I suppose.



Record Collector 24th Jan 2015		Loop Di Love is actually a cover version by shag originally done by a Dutch group in 1971



Neil Forbes 24th Jan 2015		Maybe so, R.C., but usually an album will have at least three, maybe four or five cuts on it of the year(1973 in this case), if only to justify the title. All very well the songs were still present on the charts in 1973, but they were issued in 1972, two of them from 1971 and another(the last cut) resurrected from as far back as 1967!



Record Collector 24th Jan 2015		B7 fades out early same as b9 and as for a3 yeeeehaaaaa



Record Collector 24th Jan 2015		Some of the tracks were still on the charts at the beginning of 1973 if you look at Helen reddys i am woman that debut in December 1972 right into the beginning of the following year as this album was released in April of 1973



Neil Forbes 24th Jan 2015		Somewhat of a misnomer, the title of this LP, Not one single track from 1973 on it! The bulk of the tracks date from 1972, a couple are from 1971(Raspberries and Michael Jackson) and right at the end, a reissued relic dug up from 1967. W. Scharf, the co-writer of "Ben" is Werner Scharfenberger, who, with Finni Busch wrote "Seemann..." for Lolita in 1960, and in 1965 wrote "Thank You Darling" for Diana Ross & The Supremes. The song was written in German, Diana, Flo and Mary dutifully obliged and performed it thus. But back to Explosive Hits '73, 18 tracks in this LP, think EMI may have abandoned the 20-hits format from this album onwards.
