Top Hits Of The Month Record Club

Home Page  Records British Dance Bands Sound Files Contact Me
This record club dates from the mid-1950s. They issued cover versions of 12 of the most popular songs (usually 6 on each record, three on each side) every 6 weeks.
From the catalogue numbering, it would appear there was some link with the "Tivoli" and "Solitaire" records, but I know nothing much about wither label, not of this record club.

Although the three tracks on each side are not full-length, the records have quite a fine grooving, giving an extended playing of about 6 minutes each side.

Thanks to Bill Dean-Myatt for the first label image, and for Chris MacDonald for the second.

You will notice that this second image has a British copyright stamp on the label and states Made In England under Licence, whereas the other image has no stamp and no country of manufacture.

This all implies to me that the recordings may be imports and/or the record club may not be British, or was available in another coutry.
If anyone has any further information about this record club, please let me know so I can publish it here.

Please e-mail me if you have any additions or corrections to this page.

Thanks to Richard Prout for starting off my listing here. Addition information from Discogs.com
Alos thanks to the following for providing extra details: Dave Dixey,
Theodorus van Klinken, Chris MacDonald.
