Great retro album, original, from 1971. Hard to believe this is 53 years old! Doesn't look it!
Gatefold sleeve, usual cover lady, on a par with a can of Tennant's lager!
No idea if there are any famous musicians on this particular release. Could be. 
"Top of the Pops is the name of a series of records issued by Pickwick Records on their Hallmark label, which contain anonymous cover versions of recent and current hit singles. The recordings were intended to replicate the sound of the original hits as closely as possible. The albums were recorded by a studio group comprising session musicians and singers who remained uncredited, although they included Tina Charles and Elton John before they became famous in their own right.
During the early 1970s, the Top of the Pops series enjoyed considerable success and buoyant sales. Budget albums were accepted into the main UK album charts for a few months in 1971, during which four Top of the Pops LPs charted, and two made No. 1. However, they were disqualified in early 1972 since their low price was perceived as giving them an unfair advantage in the market."
