	♥ 12:00pm Jan Turkenburg: and we're off! Hello everyone!
	♥ 12:01pm chresti: Hi Jan and duckies!
	♥ 12:02pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi chresti!
	12:06pm Mr Fab: Great concept for a show, Jan, been looking forward to this one.
	♥ 12:07pm Jan Turkenburg: Good morning Mr Fab!
	12:12pm MHLee: Hi all
	♥ 12:12pm Jan Turkenburg: Hey MHLee!
	12:21pm David in California: This singer of Angel Fingers really sounds like Roy Wood.
	🎸 ♥ 12:21pm Feldy: Hi Jan! Chresti, Fab, MHLee, and David!
	♥ 12:22pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi David! Yes, some singers were really making an effort to sound like the original.
	♥ 12:22pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi Feldy!
	♥ 12:29pm MHLee: Hallmark is a fascinating little label
	♥ 12:29pm chresti: Hi Feldy!
	12:31pm Mr Fab: actually doing a pretty good job with the Stevie here.
	♥ 12:35pm StringOFperils: Hi, Jan! Interesting marketing ploy. I assume buyers didn't know what they were (not) getting until they played these?
	♥ 12:37pm StringOFperils: I think 10cc's 'Donna' was meant to be preposterously terrible in the first place.
	♥ 12:38pm Paper Kosmonaut: Look what the cat brought in! It's Paper Kosmonaut!
	♥ 12:38pm MHLee: The earliest cover of Pink Floyd was a budget band from Canada released in the US... but no one in the US would have heard the single the budget band was covering so...
	♥ 12:39pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi SOFp! Yes, it was a lucrative business model.
	♥ 12:39pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi PK!
	♥ 12:40pm Paper Kosmonaut: "Alle Dertien Goed! in the Netherlands at least had the original artists. But then that was at the Philips label. But they both had hoezenpoezen.
	♥ 12:41pm Jan Turkenburg: and "Alle 14 Favoriet!"
	12:41pm Mr Fab: Def a "buyer beware" scam going on with these, SOp. If they're anything like American budget labels, they would have been sold as impulse buys near checkout stands in places like drugstores, selling for less then the real records, luring in the not-so-sophisticated. The almost-porn covers probably helped sell a few copies too, eh?
	♥ 12:44pm Jan Turkenburg: I believe the LPs were sold at roughly the price of a real artist single. In The Netherlands we had something like this with Dutch language hits, played by others, but often somewhere in small characters the actual artists were mentioned.
	♥ 12:44pm Paper Kosmonaut: This is one of my own creations (a fake "Alle 13 goed!" I did a couple of years ago: i.redd.it...
	♥ 12:45pm Jan Turkenburg: and on the sleeve: "Hits made famous by..."
	♥ 12:45pm Jan Turkenburg: Good artwork, PK!
	12:45pm Mr Fab: ha ha, the "crazy horse" sounds more like a kitten mewing.
	♥ 12:45pm chresti: I recall being duped by similar hits compilations when I checked one out at the library when I was 11.
	♥ 12:45pm Paper Kosmonaut: And this one: i.redd.it... (I am no longer on Reddit but these still are in the catacombs..)
	♥ 12:46pm MHLee: We slways seem to find a couple of terrible attempts to do the same for WWR
	♥ 12:46pm Jan Turkenburg: @ MrFab yes, it's hilarious!
	♥ 12:47pm StringOFperils: Canada had stuff like this too. In addition to licensed compilations by Pickwick, and K-Tel, which was infamous for 'groove-cramming', managing to fit about 20 songs on each side so it sounded just as crappy as it did coming out of the dashboard radio in your dad's car.
	♥ 12:47pm Jan Turkenburg: this elo-cover is quite good too.
	♥ 12:47pm Paper Kosmonaut: i.redd.it... (I do have a weakness for these kinds of records. That is why it is sonice to make fun of them.)
	♥ 12:49pm Paper Kosmonaut: @ Jan: Indeed it is, These musicians weren't goofing around.
	♥ 12:49pm MHLee: www.youtube.com... Here's the Pink Floyd budget cover that proceeded the song itself in thus US....
	12:50pm Mr Fab: K-Tel in US/Canada did feature "Original Hits by the Original artists!," not remakes, tho as SOp pointed out, they would cram way too many tracks on to one side. To make them fit, some times they would abruptly fade down some tracks, to my annoyance.
	♥ 12:51pm Paper Kosmonaut: We had K-tel here too, Mr. Fab. I always was amazed about how many songs they could get onto one side of a record.
	♥ 12:51pm StringOFperils: Yes, they were legit licensed things. Double-dipping off the cash pile.
	12:51pm David in California: I wasn't duped by soundalike records, but later I was duped by oldies compilation cassettes for which artists like Lou Christie and Archie Bell had done cheap rerecordings of their hits.
	♥ 12:52pm Jan Turkenburg: PK, do you know these books: www.kdx.be...
	12:53pm Mr Fab: I hated when they did that, David! I bought a crappy Tommy James album I believe that was inferior '80s remakes of his hits.
	♥ 12:53pm MHLee: I love purchasing comps of Amazon because they often are completely illogical... my "60s hits" one had the Shags (not the Shaggs) and the Blues Image version ofBorn to Wild
	♥ 12:53pm Paper Kosmonaut: @ Jan: Yes, but I never knew where to get them. Thanks Jan!
	♥ 12:55pm Paper Kosmonaut: The funniest thing about my Alle 13 Goerd parodies is that if you google them, they are amongst the originals and you never even notice they're fake until you read the names of the artists and songs.
	♥ 12:55pm MHLee: On yeah and the last song of the 60s hit comp was a song from 1981
	♥ 12:55pm Jan Turkenburg: hahahaha
	♥ 12:56pm Jan Turkenburg: Formelhaut :=)
	♥ 12:56pm Paper Kosmonaut: Mick Faker is too loud. He even shouts his whispers!
	♥ 12:58pm MHLee: Apparently Elton John was on some of these
	♥ 12:59pm MHLee: Oh this is bad
	♥ 12:59pm Paper Kosmonaut: Augh my ears!
	1:00pm David in California: MHLee, a friend says that Elton John did a soundalike version of To Be Young, Gifted, and Black.
	♥ 1:00pm StringOFperils: This songs seems so incongruous with the near-pedophilia LP cover.
	♥ 1:01pm StringOFperils: Oh yeah!! Aim low!
	♥ 1:01pm MHLee: This kinda grooves
	♥ 1:02pm StringOFperils: Gawd I hated this (original) record.
	♥ 1:02pm Paper Kosmonaut: This version really misses some salt. It just doesn't kick the same kind of ass.
	♥ 1:03pm StringOFperils: This is why the New York Dolls invented themselves.
	♥ 1:03pm Jan Turkenburg: yes and the singer is also having trouble getting the high notes...
	♥ 1:03pm Paper Kosmonaut: It is far from a black belt, so to say.
	♥ 1:04pm Paper Kosmonaut: Wouldn't it be funny if there would be versions of songs on these albums that actually are better than the original.
	♥ 1:04pm StringOFperils: Sorry. I know. A lot of people liked that Carl Douglas record. different strokes.
	♥ 1:04pm Jan Turkenburg: ues, but considering the short time in which these underpaid musicians had to deliver, I'm surprised it doesn't sound a lot worse...
	♥ 1:06pm Jan Turkenburg: PK, I played a few on other shows that listeners actually thought were better than the original. I can't remember which ones though. Should look it up.
	♥ 1:09pm MHLee: This sounds like a garage band record
	♥ 1:11pm Paper Kosmonaut: Wow, That Vol.30 girl is stunning.
	♥ 1:12pm Paper Kosmonaut: I'll get me coat
	♥ 1:12pm StringOFperils: I can just see a bunch of guys that look like Mr Rogers reading this off of handwritten charts while spending 10 bucks on studio time recording this.
	♥ 1:13pm MHLee: You're lucky pat boone didn't cover it
	♥ 1:14pm StringOFperils: Yeah, Pat Boone set the bar high when it comes to ill-conceived (immaculately-conceived?) covers.
	1:15pm David in California: On the other hand, the singer of My Name Is Jack would never be mistaken for Mike D'Abo.
	♥ 1:18pm Paper Kosmonaut: Oh, but this is tragic.
	1:20pm David in California: PK, be glad he's not doing Here Comes the Sun.
	♥ 1:20pm StringOFperils: Hah. the guitarist hit one real stinker in there.
	♥ 1:20pm Jan Turkenburg: oh boy, oh boy.... and wait until you hear the next track with a kid tryin to sound french
	♥ 1:20pm Paper Kosmonaut: Fantastically tragic. Wow. My toes are curled twice!
	♥ 1:21pm Paper Kosmonaut: May Toot a contee Nuay!
	♥ 1:22pm Jan Turkenburg: they probably wrote it down phonetically for him.
	1:22pm Otis: Quack Quack Jan and Duggies! Here for the alternate-universe versions.
	♥ 1:22pm Jan Turkenburg: I think I'm hearing sped up voices in the background
	♥ 1:23pm Jan Turkenburg: Hey Otis!
	♥ 1:23pm StringOFperils: Otis!!! HOw goes it?
	♥ 1:23pm Paper Kosmonaut: De Bieteltjes?
	🎸 ♥ 1:23pm WR: Hello Jan and all. Still not back at work so listening as I putter around my room, supposedly cleaning... Not sure what to think about what I am hearing. The T-Rex tune is remarkable cover, close not there but not bad.
	♥ 1:24pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi WR!
	♥ 1:24pm StringOFperils: This is going to hurt.
	♥ 1:25pm Paper Kosmonaut: David Bowie's asthmatic nephew Bavid Dowie.
	1:25pm Otis: Hi Hi. Slow Monday here so have the radio on and god, I love these records.
	♥ 1:28pm StringOFperils: How hair gel was invented.
	♥ 1:29pm Paper Kosmonaut: That clapping.
	1:33pm MHLee: They almost always have a "plays in Jimmy Buffet themed resturants" vibe
	♥ 1:36pm StringOFperils: Well, these have something, because I'm not getting any work done (again).
	1:36pm Otis: Wow, Tony Morgan cover. Smokin'
	1:38pm MHLee: That guitar sounds sick
	♥ 1:39pm StringOFperils: I like the drums that sound like completely burnt out recording tape.
	1:39pm Mr Fab: The whole band sounds a little under the weather. Like they weren't quite awake yet.
	♥ 1:43pm Paper Kosmonaut: Still a little amazed about the procduction value. They actually used an orchestra. Not the best one but the best they could get for an apple and an egg.
	♥ 1:46pm Jan Turkenburg: still this isn't bad at all...
	1:49pm Otis: Always loved the Top of the Pops and other budget series with this medium-range backing of the dollars for production. Dreaming now that the original cuts never existed and Pops are the real article. Makes the day pass quite nice.
	♥ 1:50pm Jan Turkenburg: shaking hands with Otis
	1:50pm Otis: It's a new day... a new reality... when you drop your needle on a new Poppers album.
	♥ 1:50pm Paper Kosmonaut: In a -just slightly- less perfect parallel universe....
	1:51pm Otis: I missed the Osmond's Crazy Horses version, but you sent me a MP3 a while back Jan. That one is KILLER, just like the original. Need to listen to the Plan now I think as well.
	♥ 1:51pm MHLee: like the one where the Beatles never broke up
	1:51pm Otis: Indeed PK. I hear coffee intake doubles in the parallel universe.
	♥ 1:53pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hair spray wasn't as strong as in ours.
	🎸 ♥ 1:54pm WR: Thanks Jan!
	1:54pm David in California: Thank you, Jan, for continuing to further my knowledge of recorded music.
	♥ 1:55pm Cheap Knock-Off of StringOFperils: Thanks, Jan!
	♥ 1:55pm chresti: Thanks Jan!
	♥ 1:55pm Paper Kosmonaut: Dankjewel, Jan! Erg leuk thema en kekke numers.
	♥ 1:56pm MHLee: Thanks Jan...
	1:56pm Otis: Thanks Jan, nice to 'pop' in today. See ya!
	1:57pm Mr Fab: ha ha, this was the best Boris impersonator they could find?!
	2:00pm David in California: Mr. Fab, he doesn't even seem to be trying. His Lugosi as Dracula isn't good either.
	2:00pm Mr Fab: Hugely entertaining, Jan! Lets' swing over to the Halloween party here: www.wfmu.org...
	♥ 3:35pm Lizardner Dave !: Listening to the archive, this is great!

October 18, 2021: FDL358 TOP OF THE POPS, the copycat covers!

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

From 1968 till 1985 (then) anonymous British studio musicians had to buy their own copy of hit records and reproduce them in studio having limited time. The results were compiled by Pickwick records on budget LPs named Top of the Pops, having nothing to do with the popular TV program of the BBC that just simply had forgotten to trade-mark the name. In this episode you'll hear the alternative versions of hits from artists like David Bowie, The Sweet, The Osmonds, Slade, The Rubettes, T-Rex, 10CC, ELO, etc...

	1:15pm David in California: On the other hand, the singer of My Name Is Jack would never be mistaken for Mike D'Abo.
	♥ 1:18pm Paper Kosmonaut: Oh, but this is tragic.
	1:20pm David in California: PK, be glad he's not doing Here Comes the Sun.
	♥ 1:20pm StringOFperils: Hah. the guitarist hit one real stinker in there.
	♥ 1:20pm Jan Turkenburg: oh boy, oh boy.... and wait until you hear the next track with a kid tryin to sound french
	♥ 1:20pm Paper Kosmonaut: Fantastically tragic. Wow. My toes are curled twice!
	♥ 1:21pm Paper Kosmonaut: May Toot a contee Nuay!
	♥ 1:22pm Jan Turkenburg: they probably wrote it down phonetically for him.
	1:22pm Otis: Quack Quack Jan and Duggies! Here for the alternate-universe versions.
	♥ 1:22pm Jan Turkenburg: I think I'm hearing sped up voices in the background
	♥ 1:23pm Jan Turkenburg: Hey Otis!
	♥ 1:23pm StringOFperils: Otis!!! HOw goes it?
	♥ 1:23pm Paper Kosmonaut: De Bieteltjes?
	🎸 ♥ 1:23pm WR: Hello Jan and all. Still not back at work so listening as I putter around my room, supposedly cleaning... Not sure what to think about what I am hearing. The T-Rex tune is remarkable cover, close not there but not bad.
	♥ 1:24pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi WR!
	♥ 1:24pm StringOFperils: This is going to hurt.
	♥ 1:25pm Paper Kosmonaut: David Bowie's asthmatic nephew Bavid Dowie.
	1:25pm Otis: Hi Hi. Slow Monday here so have the radio on and god, I love these records.
	♥ 1:28pm StringOFperils: How hair gel was invented.
	♥ 1:29pm Paper Kosmonaut: That clapping.
	1:33pm MHLee: They almost always have a "plays in Jimmy Buffet themed resturants" vibe
	♥ 1:36pm StringOFperils: Well, these have something, because I'm not getting any work done (again).
	1:36pm Otis: Wow, Tony Morgan cover. Smokin'
	1:38pm MHLee: That guitar sounds sick
	♥ 1:39pm StringOFperils: I like the drums that sound like completely burnt out recording tape.
	1:39pm Mr Fab: The whole band sounds a little under the weather. Like they weren't quite awake yet.
	♥ 1:43pm Paper Kosmonaut: Still a little amazed about the procduction value. They actually used an orchestra. Not the best one but the best they could get for an apple and an egg.
	♥ 1:46pm Jan Turkenburg: still this isn't bad at all...
	1:49pm Otis: Always loved the Top of the Pops and other budget series with this medium-range backing of the dollars for production. Dreaming now that the original cuts never existed and Pops are the real article. Makes the day pass quite nice.
	♥ 1:50pm Jan Turkenburg: shaking hands with Otis
	1:50pm Otis: It's a new day... a new reality... when you drop your needle on a new Poppers album.
	♥ 1:50pm Paper Kosmonaut: In a -just slightly- less perfect parallel universe....
	1:51pm Otis: I missed the Osmond's Crazy Horses version, but you sent me a MP3 a while back Jan. That one is KILLER, just like the original. Need to listen to the Plan now I think as well.
	♥ 1:51pm MHLee: like the one where the Beatles never broke up
	1:51pm Otis: Indeed PK. I hear coffee intake doubles in the parallel universe.
	♥ 1:53pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hair spray wasn't as strong as in ours.
	🎸 ♥ 1:54pm WR: Thanks Jan!
	1:54pm David in California: Thank you, Jan, for continuing to further my knowledge of recorded music.
	♥ 1:55pm Cheap Knock-Off of StringOFperils: Thanks, Jan!
	♥ 1:55pm chresti: Thanks Jan!
	♥ 1:55pm Paper Kosmonaut: Dankjewel, Jan! Erg leuk thema en kekke numers.
	♥ 1:56pm MHLee: Thanks Jan...
	1:56pm Otis: Thanks Jan, nice to 'pop' in today. See ya!
	1:57pm Mr Fab: ha ha, this was the best Boris impersonator they could find?!
	2:00pm David in California: Mr. Fab, he doesn't even seem to be trying. His Lugosi as Dracula isn't good either.
	2:00pm Mr Fab: Hugely entertaining, Jan! Lets' swing over to the Halloween party here: www.wfmu.org...
	♥ 3:35pm Lizardner Dave !: Listening to the archive, this is great!
